2012 WTA Sudden Death League: Wimbledon

[JayChu]

Welcome to the 2nd edition of the WTA Sudden Death League: Wimbledon!.

Rules of the game:

1. Every day of the tournament that day's matches will be posted. 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. Till the Round of 16, you have to pick one player per day. In the R16, quarters, semis and finals you pick one player per round.

3. During a tournament, you can pick a player only ONCE. Obviously it's important to make smart choices in order to get far. If you somehow have no players left to pick, you're out as well.

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

5a. If the player you picked retires during the match, you're out. If he retires before the match, you're allowed to change your pick.

5b. If the opponent of the player you picked retires, it counts like a win. However, you can't pick a player whose opponent had already retired from the tournament.

6. If you want to change you pick, make a new post quoting the old pick. Edited posts containing picks will not be taken into account.

In. By the way, shouldn't the WTA SDL use WTA ranking points system? If I remember correctly, they distribute points a bit differently.

Day 1 Venus Williams

 

[elrio]

What's the answer to this question:

5. What if there is a walkover, and my match is last on the order of play? Am I eliminated?

 

[boredone3456]

What's the answer to this question:

5. What if there is a walkover, and my match is last on the order of play? Am I eliminated?

Yes you are as you gave no valid pick left for that day, your player quit and as there is no one left to pick, you are out.

 

[jamesblakefan#1]

Day 1 - Radwanska

 

[boredone3456]

Day 1: Stephens

 

[JayChu]

Give me a few minutes and I will post the order of play for tomorrow

Yes, boredone3456 is correct. That is the risk you have to assume since your match is last when you could have had earlier matches to choose from.
