Is your main issue the lack of ATP points?

You can't give pts. for something lit'l more > a glorified exhib.! The YEC is probably the only event that gives out pts. when others don't qualify!

I know you enjoy being outraged, but this seems like yet another case of "outraged just to be outraged." I mean, who cares if it is a glorified exhibition? I'm trying to understand why its so offensive to you. Laver Cup doesn't offer ATP points either, but everyone seems to like it ok. I'd argue it has taken over the Davis Cup as the top exo.

United Cup does offer ATP points, but the same as other lower level tournaments: "best seven other" tournaments after Slams/TF/mandatory Masters.

Believe it or not, I don't watch much either; Laver or United Cup since the Big 3 left! I haven't even looked at the UC since the 1st yr. it was still "The ATP Cup" when Djokovic def Nadal in the final! The Laver Cup is a complete joke! Several yrs. ago when it still had Djokovic, he lost all his matches as the clear #1 player in the world! He obviously wasn't taking the event seriously even then! Outrage is a bit strong! It's more about my disappointment in their hypocrisy of the "calendar being so tough," but willing to "wing around the world" to play exhs. at a moment's notice!
