And we're off ... welcome to the 16th year of our ATP Sudden Death League.
Our 1st event of the 2025 ATP Sudden Death League: Australian Open
Play starts on Sunday 12th January
2025 ATP SDL sheet - 2025 LEAGUE FILE
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 he 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. You must be logged in to make your pick, proxy picks are not allowed.
4. You cannot advance to the next round via a walkover, 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.
Your pick and back up cannot be from the same match. If so, your back up will be invalidated.
If your main pick is invalid (ie late, unreadable or unspecific) then your back up will become your pick.
6. 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 unless you change your pick before your back up match begins.
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.
8. For late picks, we will use whichever timestamp Flashscore.com shows for the match. Your post must be made before the time Flashscore gives. Keep in mind, Flashscore might round the start time (ie if a match begins at 12:07, Flashscore might show 12:05 or 12:10.). Ties will not be counted.
9. No changes rule: For the ATP Finals/bonus comp + the last 16 onwards of the Grand Slams + the last 8 onwards of any other tournament no changes are allowed to your pick or back up once it is entered unless either your pick or back up withdraws. You can add a back up later than your pick if you choose.
We will be making 10 picks for this tournament.
