In the game, participants pick the winners of all main draw matches and are placed in a knock-out system. That means each participant plays a different participant and whoever predicted the winner of most matches correctly, moves on to the next round. The same applies for doubles, but you're in a team format and your scores are combined.
Note:
- In case of a tie, a tie-breaker will decide who moves on to the next round.
New tie-break method: http://www.menstennisforums.com/showthread.php?t=114109
- In case a player (i.e. the actual ATP Player) retires in a match, this match will be counted as long as one point has been played. If players are replaced by a lucky loser after the start of Tennis Tipping, these matches will be cancelled.
How to Sign-Up:
Just post here that you would like to play. You can only play one tournament per week. Entries will be based on ranking. Everyone can commit. :D
Please read this post for more information

How to send in picks:
Picks can be sent in as soon as the draws are ready. Remember, you pick a winner in every match! Picks should be sent by PM, so that your opponent does not know your picks. Picks should be titled: [TT: Rotterdam, day #]. Picks can be sent in anytime until the beginning of play each day. If you're still in both singles & doubles, you use the same tips for both. For doubles, you still tip the ATP singles matches, not the doubles! No changes can be made after the play has started.
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE
If the board goes down as has happened before, send your picks to maldini_mtf@hotmail.com

EXPLANATION:
Match with nothing after it's name - Just pick the winner
Match with SR after it's name - Pick the winner and the sets (Ex: Arthurs 2-1)
Match with PTS after it's name - Pick the whole score (Ex: Arthurs 6:7 7:6 6:1)
In, if possible!It's possible, but you'll likely be an alternate here.
As a suggestion, there are also challengers (http://www.menstennisforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=811) available each week for the lower ranked and new players.

You can always wait and see if you make it to qualifying here (first deadline is sunday). But you can't sign up for both at the same time. If you want to sign up for the challenger you first have to clearly state you're withdrawing from Rotterdam in this thread.

Hey just a note, since it will make a difference in the doubles draw, you have me and Sheva listed as the #3 seeds.... and we should be #2. When you add the rankings, both teams are tied at 16, so then it would go to the ranking points...
Me and Sheva: 6435
Re and Deb: 6017
