Suicide Tennis
China Open
2013




China Open
ATP World Tour 500
Beijing, China
30 September - 6 October 2013

==========================
sorry for any confusion.
nobody notified me or posted in the Official Suicide Tennis Poll about starting a temporary thread ...
but I'm glad they did ... Thanks to coolfish1103 for getting the ball rolling!
so I'll go ahead as scheduled ... if that's okay with the mods.
Good to see everyone so eager to begin! :D

BEIJING TIME:

==========================​


1. Each day of play you must pick 1 winner playing an ATP main draw singles match. Of course, the player that you choose is playing one match scheduled to be played that day (as seen in the Order of Play).

2. Once you pick someone, you cannot choose him again for the rest of the tournament. So, you don't want to waste your pick on Djokovic or Nadal to win in early round matches.

3. You must choose one player to win each day. If you forget, are sick, or are unable to reach a computer, it will be treated as a wrong pick, and you will be out of the tournament. You have to submit your own pick, no one else can submit your pick for you.

Each participant should have a back-up pick, selected at the same time as the initial pick. That back-up pick will only be used in the case of a walkover or withdrawal. Also, if a participant picks a player they've used previously and not corrected by Start of Play, then the back-up pick may be used as a replacement for the duplicate. Retirements do count as completed matches.

Replacement picks must be identified like this:
Backup: Andy Murray.
The backup choice s/b placed under the Pick for the day, both in the same post.

5. No commitments are necessary! If you wish to participate, just post your Day 1 pick prior to Start of Play on Day 1. ... New players are ALWAYS welcome!

6. Once the Order of Play is released, it will be added IN THIS THREAD, in the OOP post on this page to facilitate your choices. Each day, this post will be updated with its respective order of play.

NOTE: You cannnot pick a player from a match scheduled for the previous day and postponed for the next due to rain or darkness! Choose only from the matches shown in the current day's OOP post.

7. Picks will be acceptable until before the start of the FIRST match each day.

8. The scoring system will be as follows:
ATP 500
Losing pick on Day 1: 1
Losing pick on Day 2: 10
Losing pick on Day 3: 25
Losing pick on Day 4: 50
Losing pick on Day 5: 100
Losing pick on Day 6: 180
Losing pick on Day 7: 300
WINNING THE TITLE : 500

9. Never edit your pick. If you change your mind, you must first "quote" your original pick in a new post and enter your new pick there.

10. This thread is not made to complain about format, points, etc. The Suicide Suggestions thread was created for that. :)
