G'day all, hope you're feeling suitably rested and refreshed for the new season 
Welcome to the 1st event of the 2017 ATP Sudden Death League season:
Brisbane International
ATP 250 Event
1 - 8 January, 2017
Outdoor Synthetic Hardcourt
This is our first event of the "Aussie Swing", and we feel it would be a good opportunity to get into the swing of things and be reasonably consistent with in terms of coordinating across time zones heading into the Australian Open in mid-January.
RULES (ATP 250 Event):
1. 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 in the tournament. 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.
