Congrats to rainingaces for the singles title, and to jbf and boredone for the doubles title.

On a side note, I've been wondering: could I have changed my partner's pick for the final? It would have given us a chance to win I think.

Congratz to my partner Rainingaces on a tight win over Saloni, and Topdawg.

Figures you would win here with your best performances coming here.

Nice job by JBF and Boredone on a good partnership towards their 2nd slam title? Congratz to Sdont and Woodrow in the finals run.

Thanks Seffina, Jaychu, NYKings for running this event smoothly.

You were on a hot streak from day 1....sorry I let you down in dubs. The first few days can really hurt even if one of the partner is perfect. Both of us to do well in the next one :).

If I'm reading the right column, I came in 9th? This was a fun first event. I like not being eliminated for making one wrong choice early. :p

  • Congratulations to rainingaces for his first ever TPL singles win!
  • Just as how he continued his partner's winning tradition, saloni continues her partner's runners-up tradition. Congratulations! It was very close throughout. Great tourny by the both of you.
  • Congratulations to jbf#1 and boredone on their H2H win.

  • dcdoorknob with his fourth place finish retains the top spot in the overall rankings. Even with the increased points for IW (12 to 14), his ranking is safe until the end of the Miami event. That will increase his #1 streak to 23 weeks (19 of them being consecutive).
  • kpxjam9 and kishnabe switch spots.
  • bezs drops out of the top ten and sdont jumps back in!


  • Thank you to JayChu for all his H2H work and general help.
  • Thank you to dcdoorknob, TopDawg, and NYKings for their help every day.
  • Thanks everyone for playing. We'll be back for Indian Wells which starts on Thursday, March 7th.

You could've if he had agreed in the thread beforehand. It's not a big deal as long as there's transparency.

As always, enjoyed it. Thanks to those that run the game and glad I was able to help out a little more this time around, even if it still wasn't a ton.

Sorry partner for not making a final pick, we had friends over and it slipped my mind, although it seems it wouldn't have made a difference anyway...

That's ok, our opponents were too good anyway :)

Let's win the next few tourneys and get that #1 team ranking!
