I wont be playing DTT in January, cause I'll be on holidays, but when I come back in February you can count me on managing something, not sure what would it be yet though

for the manager commitment.

I wish you in advance nice holidays.

Seems we will have in 2009 more managers than in 2008 and that it will be possible to have DTT for every week in the Calendar.

Could I manage Rotterdam? The rules are the same as TT, right?

Sure. Yes, this is the same as TT (except maybe some slight exceptions to be discussed in the coming days (see the link in my signature))

Alright! Than this game can be held every week! I'm prepared to manage many more tournaments.

[trucul]

Here is the updated status:

WEEK 1 Doha Manager: trucul Assistant Manager: TBD
WEEK 2 Sydney Manager: Boarder35m Assistant Manager: TBD
WEEK 3 Australian Open Manager: trucul Co-Manager: vmbf Assistant Manager: TBD
WEEK 4 Johannesburg Manager: TBD Assistant Manager: TBD
WEEK 5 Rotterdam Manager: Yves. Assistant Manager: TBD
WEEK 6 Memphis Manager: kai. Assistant Manager: TBD
WEEK 7 Dubai Manager: TBD Assistant Manager: TBD

NoFroz is volunteer to manager one Week in February.
I have added a Co-Manager for AO (for instance, one for DTT Singles, one for DTT Doubles).
Assistant Managers are required as backup of the manager and to collect his picks and the ones of his opponents. DTT Board (Drikke, trucul, Boarder35m) can help for that and to answer any questions during tournaments coming from DTT Managers (especially new ones).

There has to be an assistant manager for every tournament?

Yes because, since there is one DTT tournament per week (so far, as long as we don't have more players), the DTT Manager plays the tournament. So, assistant manager is there at least to collect his picks and picks of his opponents.

Alright. So you choose one tournament each week. In this case cause it's a 500 pointer.

The name of the DTT tournament selected is the one with highest prize money but picks may include all tournaments being played that week (if this is compatible with timezone). For instance, for week 1, Doha is the name of DTT Tournament but it will include matches from Chennai and Brisbane. But, we try to include picks from the same timezone approximately, so I guess that in the first days, only matches of Doha and Chennai will have to be picked. For Brisbane, one Final and maybe Semi-Final will have to be picked.

But, if some DTT qualies have to be played (which was rarely the case in 2008 but I feel that in 2009, more players play DTT), we might consider having day 1 at Brisbane for DTT qualies.

Regarding points award, this is one of the topics for discussion (see link in my signature).

Not yet decided. Will be part of the discussions in this thread:

My proposal is following one:

If you want to give your opinion, could you please give it in the discussion thread above ?

This thread will be just the summary of the decision that will be taken.

[trucul]

Regarding changes of pseudo for 2009, here is what I have captured for the moment:

Kielian becomes Jens
Marr becomes NoFroz
kai_soad becomes kai.

If you decide to change your pseudo in this forum, could you please communicate the new name in this thread so that I can update rankings with new names ?
