Here's what you need to know:
1) No commitments are necessary for the tournaments. Simply post your picks in the thread. You may play more than one event per week.
2) To play this game, you will post a full predicted draw for the tournament, including all winners in all matches of all rounds.
3) You must post your full prediction before the first ball of the first main draw match is struck.
4) If a player withdraws after you have made your prediction, you MAY ONLY alter your pick if the withdrawing player was seeded. However, if the player who withdrew is not a seed, you may not replace.
Unless a seeded player withdraws, you are not allowed to change picks after the first post.
If you are changing picks due to the withdrawal of a seed, you must post your picks in a new post. No editing posts under any circumstances.
5) As far as qualifiers are concerned, you may post just "Q" in you predictions if you wish to make them before the qualifiers are placed, or you may wait until they are placed to predict, but remember that you must post before the first match begins. If two qualifiers play each other, and you are predicting before they are placed, you must predict based on their placement in the draw. For instance, you may say "Qualifier 1" which would indicate a prediction that the qualifier who is listed first in the draw would win, or you may say "Qualifier 2" which means that you predict the other qualifier to win.
If you didn't determine Qualifier 1 or 2, your pick will not be counted.
6) If a player receives a bye, you do not get points for predicting them into the second round.
7) Scoring goes as follows:
The points you receive will be based on the round points for the tournament. For each player you predict correctly into the second round, you receive the round points for a first round victory, and so on.
8)The tiebreak rule is to go by how many correct picks the players had in each round, (for example)
1. # of correct Final picks
2. # of correct SF picks
3. # of correct QF picks
4. # of correct R16 picks, etc.
and if the players are still tied after counting each round, they will remain tied.
9) PLEASE REMEMBER:
-When you post your picks, please list ONLY the winners of each round. DO NOT have 'Player A d. Player B' as it will make the manager's job much easier
-Also, please do not use smilies in your picks, there is really no need for it.

Before you read the draw , PLEASE :
You should know that my spreadsheet calculates your scores automatically to be easier for me and for less mistakes. Of course it is CASE SENSITIVE so you must write your draws as the same as I write in the main draw added in the next post. So, ..........
Could you, please, follow the following instructions ?
1- Try not to make spelling mistakes.
http://i.imagehost.org/0699/1_113.gif
2- Try not to use non-English letters or sympols.
http://d.imagehost.org/0196/2_10.gif
3- Don't send seed numbers, country names or first names ! ... JUST ONLY SURNAMES!
http://d.imagehost.org/0871/3_10.gif
4- Don't leave spaces between the picks of a round.
http://e.imagehost.org/0789/4_4.gif
5- Please Don't write by your own keyboard, but JUST COPY from the main draw I add in the next post.
Anyway I'll try to revise the picks for any spell mistakes but I may miss some. So, check your scores in every update & tell me if there is something wrong.
