2016 ATP Sudden Death League: Brisbane

TopDawg

G.O.A.T.
Welcome to the first event of the 2016 season - Brisbane International

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. You make 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.

SCORE FOR TOURNAMENT
1 correct pick: 20
2 correct picks: 45
3 correct picks: 90
4 correct picks: 150
WINNER: 250

If you are interested in being an admin this season send me a message through my profile - Boozyuzi and CDNguy87 are set up as admins but it didn't sound like CDNguy87 would be playing much this season. I'd like to have at least 5 total admins so if there are weeks when one or a few of us are busy there'd be someone else to carry the load.

Update: both sosa09 and Krish872007 have signed on as admins too so were up to 4.

I could do a bit of the editing but i'm heading overseas for a month, i'll shoot you an email when i'm back.

1R: Kudla
BU: Mahut
 
In honor of David Ferrer, let us feast in Brisbane. :p

His opponent Duckworth was a quarterfinalist in Brisbane in 2015 where in the 1R he crushed the 6th seed (who was then ranked 21st) Gilles Simon 6-2 6-2. Just saying ;)

Hey, it's only firsts round Thiem love!

The early stages worry me the most. Scars are left after many first round eliminations.
