Welcome to the first tournament of Automachia Tennis, the Abu Dhabi Exhibition:
What is Automachia Tennis?
-Create your own player, making customised statistics based on eight characteristics.
-Compete in a 21-week season on the Tour, consisting of 9 Masters, 4 Grand Slams, 2 Weeks of Davis Cup and the WTF
-Send tactical picks, like Service Speed, Aggressiveness and Effort, over 8-hour cycles, judged with complex, custom-created formulae.
How to Send Picks:
During each cycle, you send these choices to your manager:
Service Speed:
Passive, Normal, Emphasised, Aggressive and Reckless
Aggressiveness:
Passive, Normal, Emphasised, Aggressive and Reckless
Aim:
Concentrated Backhand, Pressured Backhand, Central, Pressured Forehand, Concentrated Forehand
Effort
Lazy, Normal, Exerted, Extreme and Flat-Out
If you fail to send your picks, your player will play on default settings. If you fail to send three times in a row you will be disqualified from the tournament.
This Tournament:
As this is an experimental exhibition, there will be a few changes:
1. There are no points awarded (although prize money will be)
2. There are no AI opponents, just players
3. Rather than a knockout, a Round-Robin system will be used. Players will be split into two groups (A and B) and will play every other player in the group. The first-placed players from each group will then engage in a 1st-place play-off, the second-placed players for a 3rd-place play-off etc.
4. Court Surface is Outdoor Hard, Fatigue Level is 1
