G.O.A.T.
Welcome to the 2nd edition of the NCAA Men’s Tennis Tournament Sudden Death Challenge. For those that have been on the Pro Results Board you've seen this for all the Grand Slams and Masters level events. We had ZERO winners last year so it's not as easy as it sounds. Below are the rules to follow so happy pickin'.
Rules of the game:
1. It's a knock out-system: if the team(s) you picked wins, you're through to the next round. If they lose, you're out.
2. For the 1st 2 rounds, you have to pick two (2) teams per round. Starting in the Round of 16 and for the quarters, semis, and finals you pick one (1) team per round.
3. During the tournament you can only pick a team ONCE. The goal is to stay in it by picking teams that you expect to win but not necessarily win it all. You don’t want to waste a pick on one of the Big 5 early otherwise even if you make it to the finals you won’t have a team left to pick. If you somehow have no teams left to pick, you're out.
4. Your pick(s) have to be in before the start of the match.
5. 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.
6. The winner is the last one standing – if there are multiple people still alive going into the finals they’ll be a tiebreaker added in. The tiebreaker will be to not only pick a winner but to also pick the score and pick who will clinch the last point.
You can pick as far in advance as you want to so if you want to pick 1st and 2nd rounds at the same time go for it.
Make your picks in the following format:
Round 1: USC, UCLA
I'll post results at the end of each day and I'll make sure the days matches are posted as early as possible. If you have any questions about the format, etc. let me know.
2012 Tournament results
Draw is Here & Here
Good luck to all!!
