Welcome to the next event in the 2019 ATP Sudden Death League Season:
Estoril Open
29 April - 5 May, 2019
(Outdoor) Clay
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 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.
SCORES FOR TOURNAMENT:
1 correct pick (R1): 30
2 correct picks (R2): 60
3 correct picks (QF): 100
4 correct picks (SF): 150
WINNER (Final): 250

I'm satisfied going with my instincts which are usually wrong.
