Suicide Tennis Marseille - congrats Nadie, SwissMister1, & tiptopdaisy!

SUICIDE TENNIS - MARSEILLE

1. Each day of play, you must pick 1 winner playing an ATP main draw singles match. Of course, the player that you choose, is playing one match scheduled to be played that day (as seen on the order of play).

2. Once you pick someone, you cannot choose them again for the rest of the tournament. So, you don't want to waste a pick on Federer or Nadal to win in early round matches.

3. You must choose one player to win each day. If you forget, are sick, or are unable to reach a computer, it will be treated as a wrong pick, and you will be out of the tournament. As well, your pick must be chosen before the play for that day has commenced, otherwise it will be considered a wrong pick, and thus you will again, be out of the tournament.

4. Only in the case of a walkover, or a withdrawal, each player is allowed to have a back-up pick, selected at the same time as their initial pick. That back-up pick will only be used in the occurance of a walkover or withdrawal, as stated above. Retirements do count as completed matches.

Replacement picks must be identitified like this:

BACK-UP PICK - Andy Roddick

If it is not clearly identitified, then both picks will be declared invalid.

5. If you wish to participate, just write the word IN in this thread. New players are ALWAYS welcome!

6. Once the order of play with be released, it will be added IN THIS THREAD to facilitate your choices. Each day, this post will be updated with its respective order of play.

day 7 /winner/ - 200
day 6 - 140

The rules were changed so that you had to pick before MD matches for the day started. It didn't get changed back did it?

Miruna :worship:

We decided that the manager should decide:p

So its your decision letting him play or not.

Well, I kind of need to do it this way, since this isn't in my time zone and I'm not around for the whole day. Sorry.

No problem, it is really better to make a pick before the first match.

good luck to all :)

late

Oh shut up you moron! few weeks earlier (maybe 1 week) you played a tourney, and almost forgot about it, and then come in and play, play had started, but that match wasn't late! And it count!

Licemjeru!

shooter, rules say my pick count because that match didn't start when i posted it, i think that are the rules...

and TFC:

No.
This SHOULDN'T be invalid cause Gicquel's match didn't start when he wrote his post.- and now you changed your story just because it is me who wrote "late" pick... :retard:

:haha:

you are a :retard:

do you see my previous post?

The manager of Zagreb decided that he accepts before the match starts,and here it's before the play starts on each day.

Well, i DIDN'T READ THIS THREAD! :retard:
and one more thing, it's stupid we don't have a rule about that, so some players, like you in zagreb, can pass, because of the manager, and i here lost because of this manager...

:haha:

you are a :retard:

do you see my previous post?

:haha:

Now it shows up you're an idiot! How can i read your post if my post was posted before your's???

No, sorry, MD matches have started.

Well, I kind of need to do it this way, since this isn't in my time zone and I'm not around for the whole day. Sorry.

See?

You probably won't accept it but Ive just got back from school so this is the only chance I have had to post.

Day 2: Monfils ???

Yes, i see now... But am i a retard for not reading this?

You probably won't accept it but Ive just got back from school so this is the only chance I have had to post.

Day 2: Monfils ???

He won't accept it... And i posted in suicide thread, we should make a rule about this!

:haha:

Now it shows up you're an idiot! How can i read your post if my post was posted before your's???

And it shows that you are an idiot because you dont read and cause you're mad at me cause i took some MM event wich you want to manage in TT,and I wont be here whole summer.....

You probably won't accept it but Ive just got back from school so this is the only chance I have had to post.

Day 2: Monfils ???

Yep,it won't be accepted :(
Too bad you didnt post it in the morning :sad:

And it shows that you are an idiot because you dont read and cause you're mad at me cause i took some MM event wich you want to manage in TT,and I wont be here whole summer.....

Yeah, that's pretty much it... Sorry for not being proffesional, but you knew i want that, and you could take nottingham...

Yep,it won't be accepted :(
Too bad you didnt post it in the morning :sad:

Didn't have a chance. Had to get up quickly, get dressed and go.

Yeah, that's pretty much it... Sorry for not being proffesional, but you knew i want that, and you could take nottingham...

I picked Hertogenbosch for 2 reasons:
1.Because of rain in Nottingham and everywhere else in the GB.
2.When I looked (i think 10 minutes before 21)you weren't online and Grofica who wanted Nottingham was.....

And one more thing,wishes are for people like muniu,who couldnt get online at that time,and not you...
It's your fault,you just weren't quicker then me.

You could have PM me and said you want that too... I expected you to not take that cause i ask you... Of course you don't have to respect it, but in that case you could have tell me...

I think we should accept late picks.
In this tournament no because one pick was already cancelled because dya play had started.

Yeah I have to keep it the same since that was how it started :shrug:

The rules can get changed if people really want, but I'm not going to change it in the middle of a tournament.

Zagreb WAS run this way. Just not at first because the manager didn't know about the rule.

that's exactly the truth!
the manager in Zagreb didn't know about this and he wrote in post#1 (the rules post) that he'll accept picks before the start of every match, but later he declare - from wednesday only picks before the start of day-play will count(according to the suicide rules). That's why the pick of tennisfancroatia was accepted last week, and that's why your pick is late now, Deathless :(

from now on remember - picks before the start of MD-play, and if you're unsure - just read the first post of every tournament...

well done hewitt :eek:

I think well have to adapt the rules about MTF falling for next tournaments, in this case I should accept Labambas pick because it was MTF fault and we did not put any rule about it.

:yeah:

yes please change rules. just in case MTF is offline.

Since there wasn't a rule, I'm accepting it. I'm not the one in charge of the rules though :unsure:

Its ok, accept it will discuss the rule for next tournaments.

Since there wasn't a rule, I'm accepting it. I'm not the one in charge of the rules though :unsure:

if MTF is down late picks are OK, no question about it (otherwise it wouldn't be fair)

exception is when MTF is upgraded and everybody is aware of that preliminarily, but now the situation is different

yes, it's legal :yeah:

and btw I think the best decision when MTF's down is an email to the manager (like in TT and PAW), and not posting the picks somewhere else
we can do it that way from next week (if there are no objections ;) )

I don't :p

Ah,too bad Nieminen won :p
Maybe we'll all be the winners.
My plan is:tomorrow I'll pick Soderling or Gasquet and on Sunday Baghdatis or Youzhny(personally i think Misha will win the tournament)

Nieminen up in three, through to semis.
The only possibility for me winning the tournament is Baghdatis and Gasquet losing today. If they both win today I cant even pick a player for tomorrow.

Ah,too bad Nieminen won :p

You`ll probably lose, the winner will be Simon

Youzhny about to win and give me a chance for at least reaching the final.

You`ll probably lose, the winner will be Simon

:haha:

Simon will lose tomorrow(I'll pick Gasquet or Soderling),and in final I'll pick Youzhny and win the tournament.

Just one question:It doesnt matter if you pick correct winner in final day?You win 200 points if you reach final day,no matter if the final pick is correct or wrong :shrug:

if you reach the final and lose 140 points.


Baghdatis lost so i have to say bye bye to the title, only posibility to reach the final, is Soderling reaching the final

just in case Soderling wins today.
