#128 - Which post really needs that first point?

(assuming 7-point games and equally rated teams)

Now, it's a fact of life that, if you lose your first point, you just might not get up again. You probably will, but not necessarily. The chance decreases as you go down the posts, and is influenced by the switch to double points in Round 2.

So, for which post is it MOST important to get the first point?
