WTA SDL 2017 Race & Rankings + Career Points

Rules of the game:

1. It's a knock out-system: if the player you picked wins, you're through to the next round. If she loses, you're out.

2. 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.

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

4. 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

5. As you cannot win a match by a walkover it is highly advised that you make a back-up pick to your main pick. Your pick and back up cannot be from the same match. If so, back up will be invalidated.

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

7. 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.

We will be picking 9 pick's for this tournament. Our schedule is -

Pick 1: Round 1

Hey @Boozyuzi, bottom half starts tomorrow so you may want to edit the order we'll be picking. Pick 2 will be Round 2 Bottom, Pick 3 will be Round 2 Top, etc.

Looks like the schedule is the same as last year 12 x 1st round matches on Tuesday, 20 x 1st round matches on Wednesday.

2nd round should start Thursday.

Tsurenko knocks a bunch out, including myself after retiring after just 5 games. Out on day 1, ouch.

I truly do hate that rule.

My exact thoughts. Thigh was heavily strapped, clearly knew there was gonna be a problem. Should've just withdrawn. Clearly wanted the pay check. 5 games is just unbelievable like come on. If they can't even finish a set, maybe the rule could be changed. I don't know, just sucks to be out on day 1 of a 2 week tourney.
