I can do a quick print screen of it if you want.
 
Here you go.

While I'm posting stuff, I created this chart with how often a match was picked in Round One. It's not finished yet as I was going to do a calculation for how often it was picked correctly and overlay it, but since I won't get to it today...

Hopefully less work tomorrow so I can watch matches and what not. :)

What, me worry? :-D

My mind is so free you wouldn't believe...
 
#47 replaces my Lopez/Roddick pick .................
47. E Gulbis (LAT) v F Lopez (ESP) - (10-10) = 11th Gulbis
45. [8] M Cilic (CRO) v [9] D Ferrer (ESP) - (10-10) = 12th Ferrer
 
Just a head's up, in case Lopez does withdraw, the Gulbis/Lopez match will be void.

This is my replacement pick IF Lopez withdraws.

43. [3] A Murray (GRB) v V Hanescu (ROU) - (4-22) - 13th Hanescu
 
Melzer was losing sets to the likes of Kevin Anderson and Mardy Fish (on clay), I certainly didn't see it coming.

Of course I didin't see much of anything coming all week in any of the TT games so maybe it's just me. :D
 
QUARTERFINALS:

49. J Melzer (AUT) v N Almagro (ESP) - (10-10)
50. [12] G Monfils (FRA) v [2] R Nadal (ESP) - (18-6)
51. [1] R Federer (SUI) v E Gulbis (LAT) - (4-28 )
52. [3] A Murray (GBR) v [9] D Ferrer (ESP) - (7-14)
 
After the way he played today I think I'm leaning towards Fed in this match, but I can't resist.

51. [1] R Federer (SUI) v E Gulbis (LAT) - (4-28 ) - Pick #16: Gulbis

(Not the prettiest, but they'll do.)

----------------
A Few Things:

  1. I hope this means we're doing the French Open. I've enjoyed the game and it should be fun to try this during a grand slam. Nick and I put 32 matches for the GS, but I think other places where they play this game, they pick fewer matches. Do we want to do 32 or fewer or more? I'm for 32. There are 127 matches at the slams.
  2. And we should also come up with a scale for the overall rankings. I've no preference in that regard. EX: First place, 1000 for a Masters, 2000 for a GrandSlam or something lower like a 100 for a Masters Winner and 80 for second place, etc.
  3. Third, do we want like the SDL (and what other places that play this game) where the top 8 in the overall rankings get to play the WTF? And if so, do they pick all the WTF matches?

And I'm off to get crushed in a water polo game. :)

I didn't change my Nalbandian pick so I suppose that is voided.

I will replace it with

- I like 32.

- I like 1000 point for winning a Masters, etc. Would it work to basically stick to the ATP points system? So for this tournament and other 1000s, one W (#1, 1000), one F (#2, 600), two SF (#3-4, 360), four QF (#5-8, 180), eight R16 (#9-16, 90), sixteen R32 (#17-32, 45). Or does that group too many players together in the R16 and R32 category. Others' thoughts on a possible modified version of this?

- Yes, I like the top 8. Not sure about picking every match, since selectively choosing your matches to pick seems like a fundamental part of the game. Thirteen total matches. Maybe pick four?

Idea #1
32 sounds good to me

Idea #2

Well, I like the idea of using our ranking system just like the ATP does as in the champions get the full 1000 or 2000 depending on the event. I don't know if we are going to be doing other events yet, but that is up to NYKings and Seffina as well.

After the tournament is over, I'll calculate everyone's rankings and we will decide how to allocate the points from there.

Idea #3
As for the WTF, I was thinking about this the other day, and I want to make the game for everyone, not just for the top 8, so I vote not to limit the WTF just for the top 8, it'll make it more exciting I believe

52. [3] A Murray (GBR) v [9] D Ferrer (ESP) - (7-14) 13th Ferrer
 
Hey do I get my 8th pick back because roddick withdrew?

49. J Melzer (AUT) v N Almagro (ESP) - (10-10) 8th melzer

If I don't get that pick than 14th melzer
 
49. J Melzer (AUT) v N Almagro (ESP) - (10-10) - 14th Almagro

52. [3] A Murray (GBR) v [9] D Ferrer (ESP) - (7-14) - Ferrer
 
49. J Melzer (AUT) v N Almagro (ESP) - (10-10) - 15th Almagro
52. [3] A Murray (GBR) v [9] D Ferrer (ESP) - (7-14) - 16th Ferrer
 
52. [3] A Murray (GBR) v [9] D Ferrer (ESP) - (7-14) - 15th Ferrer

That Gulbis/Roger match is tempting because of the points, but I can't do it. It's impossible for me to pick against Federer even in this context.
