After a great run in Paris, surely Ferrer cannot tank three in a row. Ergo, I choose him for Day 5, regular competition and Top 8, RR3.

Day 6 OOP: Saturday
[2] N Djokovic (SRB) vs. [8] R Gasquet (FRA)
[4] JM Del Potro (ARG) vs. [6] R Federer (SUI)
Boozyuzi has to pick Gasquet because he's already used the other 3. The other 6 left in the regular competition essentially need to choose from the Djokovic/Gasquet match.

People still alive in the regular competition have had their picks re-set and can choose anyone. For the Elite 8 competition, you can only choose someone who you haven't already picked in the Round Robin portion.

Congratulations to ark_28 and Gonzo_style for winning the regular competition. ark_28 was also the only person to win the WTF last year, so repeating was quite the accomplishment.
ATP SDL ELITE EIGHT EVENT
Congratulations to PDJ for winning the Top 8 Bonus Competition. As the top point getter, you've won yourself one classy prize:
For one event next year of your choice, you will have the chance to revive yourself at any tournament in the event that a player you have chosen has eliminated you. For example, if PDJ chose Cilic for the Australian Open, and Cilic was eliminated, PDJ can choose to use his Elite Eight prize to revive himself. HOWEVER, you must choose a replacement pick for same order of play in to revive yourself and continue on with the tournament. Once you have used that player, you cannot use him again for the remainder of the tournament. If the player you have chosen to revive yourself lost, you will also be eliminated. This prize cannot be used if the player you picked was the playing the last match of the day.
Once again, congratulations to dcdoorknob for finishing 2013 as Year End #1. Along with your Year End #1 finish from 2011, you're making a strong case as SDL GOAT, although I would argue that you've benefitted from a weak era. Honourable mention also to Jeepers and ******** for finishing in 2nd and 3rd place in the rankings.
FINAL 2013 RACE/RANKINGS
Thank you to TopDawg and Roger_Wawrinka for doing the vast majority of the work this season. Without you guys, this game would not have been run well.
Most importantly, thank you to all of the participants. This game could not exist without you.
Final Update about the "Paris Contingency Rule": After factoring in a couple of people who changed their votes, the final poll result was 16-12 in favour. Although obviously this is a majority, it's too narrow in my view to implement a fundamental change in SDL rules, even if it's for a situation that almost never occurs in practice. Therefore, the rule will not be implemented for next season and we'll preserve the status quo of it being a "pure" Sudden Death League.
Have a safe and fun holiday. See you at the 2014 Australian Open!

Thanks to all for organising. My first year was fun and definitely renewed my interest in tennis - men's tennis, I've all but given up watching the women's game, Wimbledon aside. The SDL has also introduced me to many players that had previously just been names on the newspaper results page. All good.
Congrats to dcdoorknob (why the name? Intrigued. Also be interesting to know why many people choose their pseudonyms. Mine is simple enough- my initials) and ark_24.
Have a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all.
