Re: TT Quiz Special (Week 47) - Day 2 questions - Post 119 - Deadline Monday 6pm CET

4. In his country he is only active player, who reached the quarterfinal on Wimbledon. He was №90 at that time and lost to player who was world №5.

I didn't understand the question correctly. I was looking for someone who is the only current active player for his country. The comma in between "active player" and "who" got me wrong. :lol:

3 points. :spit:

You are no the only one here :lol:

I went to Wikipedia for the QF results from Wimbledon for the last years and I thought, well there are always more players from this country. :shrug:
Then I decided to read the question again :facepalm:

I feel kind of bad for those who lost with more than 5 times of my score :awww:

Of course it is singles... I never said I would have to beat two guys together, I just said I would have to score more than two other people and that's just not the way it works.

Besides that, Nixer, the question is not how many points you scored more than me, after all, you were playing against Cheeky Chick, not me. I won my match, it doesn't matter how and you didn't win yours.

The fair thing to do would be have a tiebreak separated than tomorrow's picks, but I'm not going to keep arguing about that because this is only a tournament which is suppose to be fun.

Re: TT Quiz Special (Week 47) - Day 2 questions - Post 119 - Deadline Monday 6pm CET

Bruno is completely correct here in that he was playing a first round match against ESimp - and he won against ESimp, there is no doubt whatsoever on that.

The first round scores of Nixer/Cheeky Chick only apply to each other in their first round match, and have nothing to do with the second round. If Nixer lost the 1R his 2R picks will not apply for singles because he will be out of the singles event.

It is now early morning in Leo's timezone - so when he's next online, it will be up to him to decide how to sort out how to proceed with the winner of Nixer/Cheeky Chick.

One other option might work....

If there are missing picks from anyone, flip a coin and move one of us to that place!!

The opponent is expecting a match, so that gives them one.

Shame to waste all this hard work :angel:

Re: TT Quiz Special (Week 47) - Day 2 questions - Post 119 - Deadline Monday 6pm CET

Plus what happened if Cheeky and Nixer both score the same tomorrow, you gonna advance both to the next round depending on whoever scores the most that round getting there?

The essence of TT is that you have to be better than 1 player, and you win. Here Bruno has to beat 2 people, if he's worse than 1, and better than the other he will lose which is not really the way TT is made to work.

I understand that's there's not really a good way to break the tie, but imo you should come up with something independant of tomorrow's questions to determine the winner of Nixer/Cheeky because if tomorrow's questions are used that's not fair to Bruno

Re: TT Quiz Special (Week 47) - Day 2 questions - Post 119 - Deadline Monday 6pm CET

These questions are easier than yesterdays. Easier to find the answers anyway. I'm expecting more people to get all 15 this time.

Re: TT Quiz Special (Week 47) - Day 2 questions - Post 119 - Deadline Monday 6pm CET

Hmmmmm.... it's not easy for anyone, especially when you've spent hours searching for the answers!!

And when some matches were decided by missing picks :(

Anyway, isn't Nixer vs CC to be decided by using the round 2 questions as a tie break.

Then whoever wins plays round 2 against Bruno.

I agree there could be more problems....

Nixer says he has 15 correct already, and I could have too...... :eek:

Re: TT Quiz Special (Week 47) - Day 2 questions - Post 119 - Deadline Monday 6pm CET

Just a question: For those of you who got the question from yesterday about the player who played 3 matches in 1 day, where/how did you find that?! I searched forever and couldn't get it! :p

MTF is your friend(I used MTF to find 3 answers). For that one I went to the challenger forum, and used the search function and searched "3 matches in 1 day" and found the Nottingham thread as the 5th or 6th thread returned. It took some time having to go through the first few and realize they were not right, but when I got to Nottingham I saw a post about people talking about 3 matches in 1 day by Matosevic. Took maybe 20 minutes.

I remembered that happening this year but couldn't remember the player but remembered it was talked about on MTF so that's why I searched here

Re: TT Quiz Special (Week 47) - Day 2 questions - Post 119 - Deadline Monday 6pm CET

Sorry guys. Question №14 has 2 answers. i has corrected, but both answers should accepted, of course:wavey:
:lol: That's funny because I couldn't find for sure the answer so I picked some random name:lol: I'm too tired to think at this hour.

Re: TT Quiz Special (Week 47) - Day 2 questions - Post 119 - Deadline Monday 6pm CET

Of course people can find 15 but I can only find 14 so far :lol:

Re: TT Quiz Special (Week 47) - Day 2 questions - Post 119 - Deadline Monday 6pm CET

Question about 14. That 2 tournaments in a row, that's 2 tournaments in a row for the that player right? Not 2 tournaments in a row for the #1, and #2?
 
#171 ·
Re: TT Quiz Special (Week 47) - Day 2 questions - Post 119 - Deadline Monday 6pm CET

The question was changed to "South American", so that's 2 tournaments in a row for 1 and 2.
Yeah but the non south american answer still stands Hidalgo said.

It makes more sense though for it to be back to back tournaments that the player in question has played not the top 2 players as they sometimes play different optional events.

So for instance say Giraldo beat Fed, and Nole this year in RG and Wimbledon he would work even if Fed played Halle, but say if he done it in Cincy and US Open but played Winston Salem inbetween then it doesn't work because he played a tournament inbetween so he didn't beat 1, and 2 in 2 straight tournaments for him.

That's the way the question makes most sense to me

Why did we start a day early? I checked last week in post #2 and it says Monday :(

Re: TT Quiz Special (Week 47) - Day 2 questions - Post 119 - Deadline Monday 6pm CET

I agree that the question should be cancelled, since Hidalgo's original answer is not entirely correct, but I guess this is up to Hidalgo. What's the deadline for today, anyways?
