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.
Commitments
In order to play in this tournament, you should have posted a commitment to play in the PAW February 2014 commitment thread.
The deadline for commitments is Monday February 3rd 2014, 4 PM local time (3 PM GMT).
Wildcards (WC)
If you haven't posted a commitment before the deadline, then you can ask for a Wildcard (WC). The number of WCs is limited to 5 per tournament. Any pick posted without having a WC or early commitment is not valid.
=> 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.
Posting your picks
Please post your picks in the following format:
PAW# Player A (winner) over Player B (loser)

Posting your picks
Please post your picks in the following format:
PAW# Player A (winner) over Player B (loser)
-> # number of pick in ascending order (01 to 13)
-> Please, use the official last names of players, not names or nicknames.
-> A valid pick must include the names of both players (winner first)
and the word «over» between both players' last names. (ex: Ferrer over Kohlschreiber)

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.

Note: Tie break rules
In case several players have the same number of points, the following rules will be used to determine their ranking:
1. The greater number of correct picks. If there is still a tie then:
2. The greater points of a single pick. If there is still a tie then the greater second-best pick, and so on. No pick will be considered better than 0 pts.
3. If there is still a tie then players will stay tied.
