Welcome to Pick-A-Winner (PAW), the Predictions game!
Playing is simple: over the course of the tournament choose any 13 matches in the Main Draw and post who you think will win them. The scoring points besides each fixture represent the points you score if the corresponding player wins. Whoever has the most points at the end of the tournament is the winner.
If this is the first time you’re playing or you’re not familiar with the rules of the game, here’s a link to the Official PAW rules and supplement thread (http://www.menstennisforums.com/showthread.php?t=83408).
Commitments
In order to play in this tournament you should have posted a commitment to play in the October commitment thread (http://www.menstennisforums.com/showthread.php?t=131664). The deadline for commitments is October 19th, 2008.
Wildcards
If you haven't posted a commitment until midnight (local time) on October 19th, you can ask for a wildcard. The number of WCs is limited to 5 per tournament. Any pick posted without having a WC or early commitment is not valid.
=> NEW From 2008 onwards we’ve limited the number of WCs for each player to 3 a year. You can keep track of how many you have used here (http://www.menstennisforums.com/showthread.php?t=115122).
Posting your picks
Please post your picks in the following format:
PAW# Player A (winner) over/def Player B (loser)
# number of pick in ascending order (1 to 13)
Please use the official last names of players, not nicknames.
A valid pick must include the names of both players (winner first) and the word over or def.
Before posting picks, check that the matches haven't started yet. A pick that is posted after a match started is invalid and may be replaced. In case a match doesn't take place due to withdrawal or change of the draw, the pick is invalid and may be replaced. If a player retires or defaulted after the match has started (even if one point was played), the pick is valid.

Changing your picks
If you want to amend a previous pick (cancel or change), quote the original post and add a new message. Don't edit the post and never delete it!
A moderator (bad gambler) will scan this thread every day to track on deleted/edited posts. If you caught cheating, you will be automatically disqualified from this tournament. In certain case, you might be banned from playing temporarily or permanently. Please play fairly, everybody!
Don't forget, you're limited to 13 picks throughout the whole tournament.

Hi, your PAW13 is ok. In case neither player in the final is seeded, this pick will be interpreted as the higher ranked player at the time of the draw over the lower ranked player.

That's what I meant actually, so:

You can still change the tournament here in the commitment thread (http://www.menstennisforums.com/showthread.php?t=131664&page=7). Deadline for commitments is in 4 hours. If you don't commit to Lyon during that time, you can then ask for a wild card.

You already made 12 picks so these are your picks 13 and 14. I can count only one of them. You can't choose which one because one match has already started. For now I'm counting the Soderling PAW because it has the right number. However, I will consult with other PAW managers about what to do in this situation and perhaps your other PAW will be counted. I'll post the final decision here.

Your pick number 12 (PAW12: Benneteau to beat Tsonga) will be your final pick. The rule here is that the pick with the lower number is counted. Sorry for the confusion :wavey:
