At the Major level, you're required to play MSTs, which fill most of your schedule. Juniors are a combination of the two. Challengers can pick and choose what CH tournaments and low-level major tournaments they need to fill out a schedule.

From a fatigue perspective, it's a matter of knowing how much fatigue your player picks up from matches (a function of endurance). Based on that, you may decide to have a player only participate in singles (or doubles) practices the week before a tournament if they have lower endurance. You should certainly sign up for something every week, but you can have an easy or harder practice week based on playing both or only one of singles and doubles.



For a player of any age, using a player's age percentage, you can calculate their peak TESS as (Talent/Age%) + (Endurance/Age%^2) + (Strength/Age%) + (Speed/Age%). You'll get a major-level player out of someone with a TESS >14. Talent and endurance are a bit more important than strength and speed from the perspective of gaining XP, but strength and speed are the traits that help win you matches. I tend to look for players with peaks of 4+ talent and endurance and 3+ strength and speed.



You don't get knocked out of a practice tournament, per se--you can play up to one match per day in singles and doubles, but may not get a matchup if your player is over-tired (or someone else in their group is). If participating in a practice tournament does not use all of your player's fatigue allotment (350/wk or 50/day), you can top up with your trainer. A trainer is also useful when your player gets bounced from a competitive tournament in early rounds (though you should try to avoid that).

Nice, thx. I know that the secret is to keep form above 15 and fatigue less than 300 to maximize exp gains, but theres a way to me calc how much form i gain each tournament? Or a number to how much fatigue i got from any days of practice? I feel like my players always are with more than 300 fatigue, and i read here that you dont want to not play anything in a week, and i dont understand how maintain the fatigue.

And also, mondays are the 'newgen' days right? But not every monday? Im keeping track of this for a day and always 0 players with no cost comes up.
