Default Re: OT: Is winning 1st in 4 out of a set of 8 a grand slam?

No way. If 3,4,5,6 is a slam, then a 4-tabler should count it if he gets 3,4 in one set and 1,2 in the next.

I'm putting my foot down here: it's only a slam for an 8-tabler if he gets 1,2,3,4 or 5,6,7,8.

It's a grand slam if it's 4 in a row, but this is only if it is counted by when a tourney is started. I'm sure some people will see 4 wins in a row and think they got a grand slam but if someone is 8 tabling in a set then this logic would be incorrect. Also I think this can only count if it's in the same session

zing. it has to be 4 in a row, doesnt matter when they are started. back to back to back to back. holla

Well, the pure GS is a set of 4 for 1st and not match 3, 4 of the first pack plus match 1,2 of the 2nd set. Also, if you count it like you propose and you start 8 games within a couple of minutes, chances are that your 4 1sts take longest and thus finish consecutively.
