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=151913). The deadline for commitments is October 4th, 2009.
Wildcards
If you haven't posted a commitment until midnight (local time) on October 4th, 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 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 13 picks throughout the whole tournament.

Five tournaments, two just after Shangai (Stockholm & Moscow) and three one week later (St. Petersburg, Vienna, Lyon) need managers. As well as many in the next season(s). We won't manage them, so if you want to play, sign up for taking them. It's not difficult, you can use prepared sheets and ask us if anything is unclear.

Sorry for the delay, but everything is updated now :wavey:
Barlos needs a Youzhny win to claim the title, otherwise ntorcida will be the champion.
I would like to congratulate everyone in this tournament by the way, never managed and probably never played such a high quality PAW tournament. Top 15 already scored over 100 points, 10 players have more than 10 correct picks and it's not like there were those big point matches which gives 30/40 points. Well done everyone :worship:
Also, if you want to keep playing PAW next year please volunteer for one of the tournaments left in 2009.
