RULES (World Tour Finals - TOP 8 BONUS):
1. You only need to make one pick per RR round (only 3 total), not day.
Note: RR1 will combine Sunday's/Monday's matches, RR2 will combine Tuesday's/Wednesday's matches and RR3 will combine Thursday's/Friday's matches.
2a. In the semis and finals, you pick one player per round.
2b. Your picks will not be re-set for the Semis and Final (i.e: you can not pick a player for the SF or Final who you already used in the Round Robin). Obviously it's important to make smart choices in the RR to get far. If you somehow have no players left to pick, you're out as well.
3. Your picks for the bonus competition can be different or identical to your picks in the regular competition, according to your wishes.
Pick Structure:
Pick 1: Round Robin 1 (both groups - Sunday/Monday)
Pick 2: Round Robin 2 (both groups - Tuesday/Wednesday)
Pick 3: Round Robin 3 (both groups - Thursday/Friday)
Pick 4: Semi-Finals
Pick 5: The Final
SCORES FOR THIS TOURNAMENT
1 correct pick = 150
2 correct picks = 300
3 correct picks = 450
4 correct picks = 600
Winner = 750

SAVE PICKS
What are they?
We will be awarding Save Picks for the 2019 SDL Season to our exceptional performers. If you are awarded a Save Pick, you can use it to advance in a tournament in the event that your main pick player loses or retires during their match. You pick another player to "burn" in place of your main pick - this MUST be someone who was scheduled to play on the same day or in the same round, depending on the tournament specification.
If your first pick in the tournament loses and you want to activate your Save Pick, you will effectively receive a "free pass" to the next day/round. However, if you decide to use your Save Pick later in the tournament (i.e. after Pick 1), then you must select a player to "burn" AND your subsequent pick must win his match in order to earn full points from activating the Save Pick.
If any of the above is confusing, feel free to message me and I can provide an example to illustrate the idea.
Who gets them?
Save Picks for the 2019 Season will be allocated as follows:
- The 2018 SDL Year-End #1 receives 2 Save Picks.
- The remainder of the Top 4 in the Year-End Rankings will receive 1 Save Pick each.
- In addition, 1 Save Pick will be awarded to the person who advances furthest in the WTF Bonus competition (this does not apply to the YE No. 1, who already has 2 Save Picks).
Further to the last point, if there is a tie between 2 or more players in the Bonus Competition, then the additional Save Pick will be awarded to the person who progressed the furthest in the Regular WTF Competition.
If points are still tied, then the Save Pick will be awarded to the person who has accumulated the most points throughout 2018.
If there is still a tie (shouldn't be this year), then the Save Pick will be awarded to the person who accumulated the most points in the Major Events.
When can I use the Save Picks?
- All Save Picks MUST be used up before the World Tour Finals next year, so the last tournament in which they are applicable will be the 2019 Paris Masters.
- Save Picks MUST be activated by the Round of 16 for the Slams and Indian Wells/Miami, and by the Quarter-Finals for all other tournaments.
