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/showpost.php?p=4489037&postcount=1
- 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: Stuttgart, 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.

Hey guys just to let you know - I'll be up in the mountains :D at the first singles deadline so I won't be able to do a final update.
Singles entry list is fully updated to now though.
If any of the entrants wants to check if they've made it, they can probably work it out for themselves ;)
Will be back by Monday though :)

Depending on when the OOP is released each day, I may or may not be able to post it. I'd rather that we don't have a repeat of what happened today on Monday :help:
So could I ask if someone is willing to be around everyday and post the OOP if I don't do it early enough? Just so Ville doesn't have to step in at the last minute and people don't complain ;)
I can do it if you want, althou I´m not sure about SR´s & PTS.

I can do it if you want, althou I´m not sure about SR´s & PTS.
thanks mate :yeah:
Ok rules of thumb about SRs and PTSs:
- up to 10 SR matches a round (if there are less matches then all are SRs)
- choosing SRs/PTSs; highest SRs (SR1/2/3) should be close matches - by ranking or by H2H record (if possible)
If you need to post on these days:
- Tomorrow - all matches PTS for doubles only
- First day of MD - all matches PTS (for singles only), qualifying matches I probably won't count this time (of course Felipe isn't here to complain though... :devil:)
- Second day of MD - all matches PTS for doubles only

this is even hard for me to understand actually :o
PTS rules are so complicated sometimes :help:
I'll go through the whole process:
1. total SR winners - equal (not really applicable here though)
2. total correct SRs - equal (only difference was Zib and you were both wrong)
3. SR shootout - equal (again all the same except for Zib and you were both wrong)
4. PTS1 - equal (both of you got 4 pts for correct order and 3pts for correctly picking the 6/4 set score)
5. PTS2 - you (2 pts for giving a set to Menendez) vs quiron (1 pt for correct order of 1 set + 3 pts for correct 6/3 set score for Zib= 4)
quiron wins 4-2
