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) Every player can replace his/her draw only once per tournament whatever the reason of replacement.
If you are changing picks, 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.

Very IMPORTANT :
How to send your predictions
It would be easiest for me if you please just enter the winner of a match, please follow the example below:
ROUND 1
Nadal (last name only) ... Just Nadal! No need for anything else
Gasquet (last name only) ... Just Gasquet! No need for anything else
Player C (last name only)
ROUND 2
Player A (last name only)
Player B (last name only)
Player C (last name only)
================================================== ==============================================
I would highly appreciate it if you could send in your picks following the rules below:
* Please have "No spaces" between rounds of a draw
* Don't make spelling mistakes, do not send seed numbers, player nicknames, country names! Only last names are required, thank you! :)
* It would be best if you copy from the main draw posted HERE (http://www.menstennisforums.com/showpost.php?p=11099732&postcount=3) (This will ensure that the chances of making spelling mistakes are kept to a minimum)
* Please be cooperative, if I spend almost an hour copying and pasting everyone's picks, all I am asking is that each of you submit your picks following the three rules listed above, in most instances, it shouldn't take you more than 5 minutes to double check that your picks are submitted correctly. Thank you. :wavey:
If you are still unclear of how to send in your picks, please have a look at the following example draws below:

Oh well, at least I avoided Youzhny. Federer was unavoidable.

Why? I thought Federer will play this tournament whatever happens. Hasn't he a contract with Halle or something like that?

He has a lifetime-contract, but it doesn't seem to be very reliable... :(

Been seriously busy last few days, so haven't kept up to date with much of what has happened. (I even forgot to submit my own picks, and I'm the defending champion...oh and the manager too :lol: :o)
I see that Federer has been replaced by Leonardo Mayer (ARG), Youzhny has been replaced by Dominik Meffert (GER).
Alot of draws will be screwed if Hewitt wins against Mayer.
Please be patient, I will post up the first update most likely on Thursday as I haven't had time to even go through the picks yet, will do so on Thursday when work will not be so busy. Thanks in advance. :wavey:
