BCR Open Romania 2009
BCR Open Romania 2009
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 September commitments thread. The deadline for commitments is September 20th, 2009.
Wildcards
If you haven't posted a commitment until midnight (local time) on September 20th, you can ask for a wildcard. The number of WCs is limited to 5 per tournament. Any pick posted without having a WC or early commitment is not valid. You can receive maximum 3 wildcards per year.
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 nicknames and no first names.
A valid pick must include the names of both players (winner first) and the word over.
Examples:
PAW01 Nadal over Rochus
PAW02 Federer over Seppi
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.

A moderator (bad gambler) will scan this thread every day to track on deleted/edited posts. If you are caught cheating, you will be automatically disqualified from this tournament. In certain case, you might be banned from playing temporarily or permanently. Please play fairly, everybody!
Don't forget, you're limited to 13 picks throughout the whole tournament.
