[wrxinsc]

Good luck remaining players! That was a fun first tourney as always. Thanks esp. to our league directors for their hard work allowing us to focus on our crappy picks and then yelling at those picks for being crappy.

 

[Gonzo_style]

SF: Stanislas Wawrinka

 

[ark_28]

SF: federer

 

[Voriad]

SF: Wawrinka

 

[JLyon]

good luck Voriad. Take the win

 

[kishnabe]

good luck Ark 28....I hope he does pull through.

Voriad nice pick and congratz to reaching the final in your first try.

Surprised the many who made it this far with a the majority of key players being upset.

Is the Davis Cup Sudden Death League happening this year ?

The Davis Cup really doesn't mesh well with the Sudden Death format, so I'm thinking probably not. If someone wants to start an exhibition Davis Cup competition like last year then they obviously can, but I don't think it will be an "official" event for points.

 

[Voriad]

I had a lot of fun playing
thanks for the congratz messages and thanks especially to the tournament guys. it must have been a pain to list all those people's picks.
I'll be back for the next event for sure.

Only 3 people end up even making the Final. Both Gonzo_style and myself are out of picks after being lucky enough to have Wawa saved for the Semis. However, barring a major upset, it looks like Voriad will finish his first ever tournament by being the sole winner of a Grand Slam. Nice work, especially in sticking with Fed for the QFs when everyone else who initially picked him waffled.

Yeah there will be an exhibition one....it just far too spread out for anyone to commit to there bar the regular SDLers.

Did Voriad submit a final pick? Does he have to before the final given that he can only pick Rafa?

 

[Voriad]

just in case:
finals: rafa nadal

 

[TopDawg]

He doesn't have to since he only has 1 option left.

 

[Voriad]

just wondering:
what is the difference between YEC and YEC top 8? Both have different ranking points. I get what YEC top 8 is, but what other year end championship is there?

The top 8 going into the year end championships also played in a separate SDL bonus game for the Tour Finals

Top Dawg & co thanks for running events. Leave updating the rankings to me. You have done a great 2 week job....I deserve to chip in.

I will finish the rankings around Wednesday or Friday when I get time from School and Work.

Kishnabe: Random but on the calendar should Memphis be shifted to a 250.
They lost their 500 pt to Rio de Janiero the next week.
