IN. I think 7 picks may be too much for a 500 events, after all I believed we used 7 picks last season and people found it harder to win these than win the grand slams especially with the smaller fields.

yeppers. plus the extra time spent dealing with these smaller events making picks every day is problematic for folks that don't always get on the 'puter for these sorts of things...

In, I think that these events are too hard compared to masters and grand slams, so it should be 5 picks. But I'll agree to what the majority says.

I will go along with whatever the group decides but I think 7 picks for a 32 player draw is to much

The game of tennis as a whole will probably cease to exist before I'm able to win, but sure. I'm in.

Well that's mainly because there weren't that many upsets, which is very unusual for Australia.

Plus using the predictability of a Slam to forecast the predictability of 500 events like Rotterdam/Memphis makes absolutely no sense given how lacking in depth the fields will be. With possibly the sole exception of Dubai, these events will be seeded by largely 2nd-tier players who are far more inconsistent than the top players at Slams.

Smaller fields and fewer points up for grabs (combined with generally more difficult predictions) makes it logical for the 500s to require fewer correct picks than M1000s.

So based on the poll results, all ATP250 and 500 events will be on a round-by-round basis. For all 32-size draws, it will be 5 picks. For all 48/56 size draws (Barcelona, Queen's Club), it will be 6 picks.
