Doubles Tennis Tipping #6
MONTE-CARLO and Challengers


What is Doubles Tennis Tipping?

In the game, participants pick the winners of all doubles main draw matches and are placed in a knock-out system. That means each participant plays a different participant and whoever predicted the winner of most matches correctly, moves on to the next round. The same applies for doubles, but you're in a team format and your scores are combined.

Note:

- In case of a tie, a tie-breaker will decide who moves on to the next round.
New tie-break method: http://www.menstennisforums.com/showthread.php?t=114109

- In case a player (i.e. the actual ATP Player) retires in a match, this match will be counted as long as one point has been played. If players are replaced by a lucky loser after the start of Doubles Tennis Tipping, these matches will be cancelled.

How to send in picks:

Picks can be sent in as soon as the draws are ready. Remember, you pick a winner in every match! Picks should be sent by PM, so that your opponent does not know your picks. Picks should be titled: [DTT: ?, day #]. Picks can be sent in anytime until the beginning of play each day. If you're still in both singles & doubles, you use the same tips for both. No changes can be made after the play has started.

PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE

If the board goes down as has happened before, send your picks to trucul2008@hotmail.fr

Re: Doubles Tennis Tipping (DTT) Week 6: Monte-Carlo and Challengers

Florin MERGEA/Horia TECAU (ROM/ROM) vs. James CERRETANI/Travis PARROT (USA/USA) SR7
Santiago GIRALDO/Denis ISTOMIN (COL/UZB) vs. Kristian PLESS/Danai UDOMCHOKE (DEN/THA) SR8

These matches will be played tomorrow and will still count for DTT 2nd Round. If they are not fully played tomorrow, they will be cancelled from DTT 2nd Round.

BURRIEZZA/NESTEROV vs. SCHWANK/VEMIC and RATIWATANAs also postponed a second time to tomorrow. As these matches are postponed a second time, I will cancel them from DTT First Round.

Re: Doubles Tennis Tipping (DTT) Week 6: Monte-Carlo and Challengers

Before I publish OOP, is there any volunteer to make diffs when matches start ?

I guess that Boarder35m will not be able to do that (not feeling very well).

Re: Doubles Tennis Tipping (DTT) Week 6: Monte-Carlo and Challengers

Even if nobody volunteers to make diffs, could someone other than Drikke, Nadie, Bjorki be volunteer to collect our picks and forward them to me during the day tomorrow ?

Thanks :wavey:

If I have no answer by 23:00 CET, I will ask Drikke, Nadie and Bjorki to send me their picks and I will swear than I will not look at them :angel:

Re: Doubles Tennis Tipping (DTT) Week 6: Monte-Carlo and Challengers

Guys there is a huge mistake from the board

If a player send late picks in R1 they're replaced by a LL dosnt matter if sent after time or not

Late picks on R1 = LL

So hahaha sent late, so me and lucho should replace them.. that easy!

Re: Doubles Tennis Tipping (DTT) Week 6: Monte-Carlo and Challengers

it wasnt R2 mooroon :rolleyes:

why it would say then in draw Q1 :rolleyes:

Q1/Q2/Q3/Q4 were used to ease the draw. I preferred to draw from the second round rather than drawing first round with tons of byes. And winners of matches in first round were named Q1, Q2, ...

As you can see in final draw display, there is no more Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4:

http://www.menstennisforums.com/showpost.php?p=6861573&postcount=5

More generally, the draw size is the same for DTT than for TT with a minimum of 32 entries. But, considering the number of players committed per week (between 16 and 24), we may discuss whether it is preferrable to have many byes in first round or have a main draw with 16 entries (14 entries + 2 Q) and no byes and remaining players would play qualies. That way, this would allow (LL). But, this may mean more than 1 round qualies. As you know that there is in real life no doubles qualies, ie no match on Sunday, this would mean several rounds on Monday with very low number of matches ...

Any feedbacks welcome. :wavey:
