2016 ATP Sudden Death League: Australian Open

G.O.A.T.
Welcome to the 3rd event of the 2016 ATP Sudden Death League season: Australian Open

Rules of the game:

1. Every day of the tournament that day's OOP 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. You have to pick one player per day through the Round of 32. In the round of 16, quarters, semis and finals you pick one player per round.

3. You can pick a player only ONCE. Obviously it's important to make smart choices in order to get far. If you have no picks remaining, you're eliminated from the competition.

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

5. You cannot advance to the next round via a walkover since it is hard to know exactly when someone announced they were pulling out HOWEVER this rule does not apply once you reach the semifinals

6. Since you can no longer win a match by a walkover it is highly advised that you make a back-up pick to your main pick - when listing your picks make sure you specify which is your back-up.

7. If the player you picked retires during the match, you're out. If he retires before the match, your back-up pick will be used.

8. If the opponent of the person you picked withdraws and is replaced by a lucky loser your original pick will stand unless you specifically change it.

9. NEVER edit your pick. If you want to change your pick, please quote your old pick and choose a new player. Edited posts will not be taken into consideration.

Anyone want to pick AO Qualies by the day? Chance to maybe earn 25 correct points per pick - picking 1 person per day for each of the 4 days -

Q Day 1 OOP

No - you can still play MD regardless of how you do in qualies

Right...But if we pick a player in the qualies will we be able to pick that same player in the main draw? Example if I pick Vasselin in the qualies and if he gets through can I pick him in R1?
 
Gotta defend my 720 points! And oh yeah I'll be in Melbourne the first weekend of the Open! Wooo, got tickets to the night session on MCA for Friday the 22nd!

That's cool - I went in 2012 and saw the Nadal/Berdych quarterfinal at night and the day before saw Ivanovic, Serena, and Murray on Laver. Since Murray and Serena won quickly we tried to go over to Hisense to see Nishikori/Tsonga but we couldn't find any tickets mid-session. We actually got our tickets to Nadal/Berdych the day before but the we bought the Laver Day session right after they went on sale. Very cool experience going to the Aussie Open I'm sure you'll love it.
