Happy New Year and Welcome to the Talk Tennis 2013 Prediction League Season!

Anyone at any time can play starting Monday, January 14th!

HOW TO PLAY:

1. Before the FIRST MATCH of the tournament, pick who will win the entire tourny and who will be the runner up. At the conclusion of the tournament, you'll get TWO POINTS per correct finalist or FIVE POINTS per player if he finishes in your predicted position.

2. For EVERY match, predict the winner and the number of sets it will take for the winning player to win the match. (EX: [2] R Federer (SUI) vs [3] A Murray (GBR) - Federer in 4) If you predict the correct winner but in the wrong number of sets, you'll get THREE POINTS. If you predict both the correct winner and the correct number of sets, you’ll get FIVE POINTS.

You can edit a pick until a particular match starts, however, please always make a new post quoting the original pick. DO NOT EDIT THE ORIGINAL POST.

PREDICTION LEAGUE DOUBLES HEAD TO HEAD CONTEST:

In addition to the regular tournament, each participant can pair up with another one and participate in a doubles tournament. There is no additional match picking or work involved. Your regular league scores are combined with your partner's to compete against another team.

The doubles tournament format is similar to the FIFA World Cup. There are round robin rounds where you and your partner compete against doubles teams in your group. The top two or three teams from your group then move on to the knockout rounds. The exact format will depend on the number of doubles teams.

I'm in for sure! And for doubles, I'd love a full year partner. I played with mtr1 last year, and if they want to be my partner again then I'd be all for that :)

North America CST, then matches begin at 6:00PM on Sunday, January 13

Europe CET, then matches begin at 1:00AM on Monday, January 14

Welcome to the game!

Just FYI, the top ten is slightly wrong. You can look at the correct one in the league file. The order's the same, the points are different.

I need to make Monday-Tuesday picks early. Like tomorrow before I leave work, if possible. I am going to be out of contact for most of the weekend.

Seffina, if possible, can you send me an e-mail, because I lost your address to send early picks too. Or, if there's another way to do it.

Thanks!
