Welcome to the 14th event of the 2016 ATP Sudden Death League Season: "Roland Garros" - The French Open.
This is the 2nd Slam/Major event of the year. Please read the rules below carefully.
RULES (Slam/Major Event):
1. In the Main Draw, 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 pick one player per "half" of the draw for the first 3 rounds. From the Round of 16 (R4), pick by the round - this will mean making 10 correct picks in total to win the title.
3. 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.
To re-iterate Rule Number 2 (this is very important), the picks for this Slam tournament will be structured as follows:
Pick 1: Round 1 1st Half
Pick 2: Round 1 2nd Half
Pick 3: Round 2 1st Half

JLyon is the Defending Champion.
The Draw will take place on Friday 20th May. The picks for the first three rounds will depend on which half of the draw plays first. Picking by HALF should (hopefully) avoid complications with the Sunday start and other scheduling issues.
You are permitted to make conditional picks for the following half/round if you find that your pick is one of the last matches for that half/round and your next desired pick is scheduled to play before your original pick.
