Welcome to the next event in our 2017 ATP Sudden Death League season:

Shanghai Rolex Masters (China)
8 - 15 October, 2017
Hard Court


RULES (Masters 1000 Event):

1. You pick one player who you think is going to win. It's a knock out-system: if the player you picked wins, you're through to the next round. If he loses, you're out.

2. Prior to the Round of 16, you have to pick one player per day (day 1 - monday, day 2 - tuesday and day 3 - wednesday). In the R16, quarters, semis and finals you pick one player per round. Day 1 is a Combined Sunday/Monday.

3. You can pick a player only ONCE. Obviously it's important to make smart choices in order to get far. If you have no picks remaining, you're eliminated from the competition.

4. You can't pick a player from a match that has started already.

5. You cannot advance to the next round via a walkover since it is hard to know exactly when someone announced they were pulling out HOWEVER this rule does not apply once you reach the semifinals

6. Since you can no longer win a match by a walkover it is highly advised that you make a back-up pick to your main pick - when listing your picks make sure you specify which is your back-up.

7. If the player you picked retires during the match, you're out. If he retires before the match, your back-up pick will be used unless you change your pick before your back up match begins.

8. If the opponent of the person you picked withdraws and is replaced by a lucky loser your original pick will stand unless you specifically change it. (Usual caveat with this rule and the consideration of BU applies.)

9. NEVER edit your pick. If you want to change your pick, please quote your old pick and choose a new player. Edited posts will not be taken into consideration.

RACE TO LONDON - Update:

SDL%20Race%208%20Oct%202017_zpszvbjd6es.png


There are still a lot of people in contention for the coveted Top 8 spots at the World Tour Finals for our bonus competition (mathematically speaking). No one has definitely qualified yet. The Top 20 contenders are shown as of 7 October.
@winchestervatennis is, however, a mere 300-500 points away from securing the first spot regardless of other players' results.
@Pagoo and myself are currently well-placed to grab two more spots and could potentially extend the points lead further from #4 onwards with victories in Beijing/Tokyo tomorrow.
Very tight group in the middle from #4 down to about #12, so definitely Game On in Shanghai.

She got to pick for you in Tokyo as well? That's not fair.

She did nice, if so...Cilic. You did not so nice on 2R on your own...will you write a poem to KAndyman too???

It's not fair that she wins the bet that allows the winner to pick 2 players for the loser.. When I won, I just picked one player for her (Rotterdam after the AO and Stuttgart after RG) :mad:

How was I supposed to know that Anderson was going to choke against HARRISON?

And It wasn't a poem, it was a song, and he doesn't deserve one. Maybe I'll write a song for Paire :cool:

It should be Beijing or Tokyo, not both. However, @I Am Finnish is special so we shall allow it.:cool:

The two of you make quite a Paire!
