yeah whatever, i'm just saying its not cool to blatantly copy my every pick? I remember back in the madrid final on clay a few months ago when me and stapler won the prediction league we had an option to do this and just copy the others since we were in the lead but we didn't do it cos it's not the "spirit" of it, but yeah whatever.
by the way Seff, whats MTO!?

What indeed? Matching Tactical Options? (Was referring to the recent conveniently timed medical time outs.)
As far as the picks thing, I understand your point, but it's a choice I guess we can't take away as far as the game goes. Both of you could be wrong and someone could pass you over?

Blatantly copy your every pick?...
It's not like that Sir.
He just doesn't want to take any risks, and I can understand him.
If there's a safe way to win, why not take it and just leave the dangerous plays to others?...seems like a right tactic to me.
The semifinals are all toss-ups. You can barely say that there's a high possibility to guess the winners or the number of sets, so it's pretty decent in this context.

Well thanks Seffina for understanding my point. If thats the way he or she wants to roll then work away but its not right and I wouldn't do it. And Li, you obviously fall in to the category who would do it so thats your choice but its a bit sad. A pick should be based on who can give you points in the game and who you think will win. And yes it is blatantly copying my picks so i don't know why you've highlighted that? Anyway, it's done now so good luck

In this context, where there are two very tight semi-finals, it's not as non-commendable as it may seem. Sure it would be pretty low if someone had done that in the TPL and copied like 10 straight matches.
I dunno, just an opinion here...
And no, I wouldn't be the guy to do that all the time. In this case, yes because the matches are very close IMO, but otherwise I would prefer to make my own choice, it's part of the fun for me.

Guys, stop with the fake MTOs. Not cool.
*cough*
Anyway, even though I'm still moping about Roger's loss, I'm way too excited about tomorrow. Why does it have to be so many hours away?
agree, agree! so fun...

Yeah its extreme anti-competitive behaviour to be honest, something that needs to be solved in this game. Its a game for fun at the end of the day, that does not make the game fun.

I agree that it's not very "classy", but it's a completely valid strategy unfortunately. I suppose one can email NYK or Jay their picks if it gets close like this...
robin7, what do they do about these situations in PAW?

That's right. If Berdych makes it to the final you will have a shot at it. Good luck.
BTW, I am not even going to try and defend my actions here, which are well within the "rules". I have a lead and I am protecting it.

We normally PM to the OP. Since we have 5 matches in badminton in the finals, PM is only allowed during the finals.
Here, I would suggest PM to be allowed from semi-finals onwards.

I agree with this, it would cut out all the nonsense of copying others' picks and so on, it should be written into the rules for the next time. Good shout.

This is something to definitely to consider since I don't like this accusations things that is going on.
I wouldn't mind the idea since it sounds like a good idea to me.
We could use this idea as a trial run during the Rogers Cup.

POWER PLAY LEAGUE - WIMBLEDON 2010 - RESULTS AFTER THE SEMIS
So the final day of Wimbledon will decide who is going to be our 2nd ever Grand Slam Champion.
24*7Tennis is currently in the driver's seat to win this event. Wintintu can still win this only if s/he (sorry, dunno the gender) picks Berdych to upset Nadal in the finals. The top 3 players have been determined, just where they are going to finish is still undecided.
The rest of the places are still up for grabs. rainingaces is currently in the driver's seat for a 4th place finish, but I can still make it to fourth place only if I choose the champion correctly. bezs can overtake me and drop me down to 6th place (potentially) should I incorrectly choose the winner, but both will have to choose Berdych for that to happen.
Basically places 4-13 have been determined, but where they are going to finish is just a matter of choosing the winner correctly.
Sunday is the final day folks! Get your picks in and choose wisely. Good luck!
In terms of the overall rankings, because of his top 3 finish, robin7 will continue to be our #1 ranked player. Congrats!

Ugh, they weren't. I'll do the change in the file tomorrow. For your knowledge, you'll receive 15 points giving you 155, moving you up to 15th place.
It will all reflect in the final sheet. Sorry again
