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 PAW July 2009 commitment thread (http://www.menstennisforums.com/showthread.php?t=146385). The deadline for commitments is Sunday July 12th, 2009 midnight local time.
Wildcards
If you haven't posted a commitment until midnight (local time) on July 12th 2009, then 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 16)
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 ammend 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 16 picks throughout the whole tournament.

Good Luck to all players.

A little bit frustrating to lose the title after coming back from 30 points in the last 3 days, but still I'm very happy with the 2nd place and of fighting for a PAW title again after so many time :)
Congratulations Niki, great stuff during the week :yeah:
And thanks a lot Shaun for managing :worship:

My first PAW title! :woohoo:
Well, thank you Caio to make this fight for the title more exciting ;)
I played a great quality PAW in the beginning of the tournament, then I played some "cagon (:lol:) PAW" being pretty sure with my advantage (in another situation I would have picked Zverev over Simon for 19 points and not Davydenko over Berrer for only 5 :)).
In the end I had to take one risk because of Caio's comeback and I choosed to go on Chardy in semifinal.
A special thanks to Shaun for managing so good and quickly this PAW event. :worship:
