Monte Carlo 2010 Masters Series Prediction League (4th in Series - Season 2) Inc H2H

We are in @ for the 4th in the series of season 2, this being the 2010 Miami Masters Prediction League.

Points Scoring Rules(MUST READ)
FOR EVERY MATCH you predict the winner and the score they win by in sets. Predict the correct winner but the wrong score in sets, you'll now get THREE POINTS. However, if you also nail the score line in sets, (ie, Nadal beats Murray 2 set to love) you’ll get FIVE POINTS.

Each predictor is also able to pick a winner and runner up of the respective tournament (they have approximately up to a day before the FIRST ROUND MATCH in which to do this) Come the conclusion of the tournament – two points will be given to each predictor that predicts a correct FINALIST and an additional three points if the FINALIST finishes in their predicted position of WINNER or RUNNER UP.

If you grasp a sudden urge to change one or more predictions that you may already have posted, please make a new post, so I am aware of the time it was posted and can validate that the prediction was made before the respective match / matches. (Editing posts makes matters complicated)

ADDITIONAL BONUS COMPETITION
This will run exactly the same as the FIFA World Cup. 32 people will compete (if we don't get 32 we will sort it so it works). 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and no points for a loss.

PTA = Points total aggregate. In the event of a tie we will use PTA. This is calculated based on points you have scored less points scored "against" you. For example I play TM, Seffina and Shadows and score 93, 47 and 63. They score 88, 59 and 63 respectively. This would mean my PTA total would be -7 (+5, -12 and 0).

Top two players advance from each group. Each group will contain 4 teams and there will be 8 groups. The top two teams advance to the round of 16 and have a sudden death playoff game. This is therefore the knockout stage of the tournament.

Players will be picked on first the top 16 seeds and then the next 16 players to sign up. After we have 32 the Knockout tournament is closed (the main league is always open). Players after will be reserve players for those who miss the first round so that we can have as many active players as possible. I will name the reserve players.

This is a EXAMPLE of the tournament format if I have not answered any questions. http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?k...Zw&output=html

This is an entirely different competition from the main one. It is like the European Champions League and the Premier League. Arsenal, Man Utd, Chelsea and Liverpool compete in both but results don't affect the other.

Feel free to ask Chelsea_Kiwi any questions about the tournament. He will post more information soon.

League File and Frequently Asked Questions

Player Retirement Rules
1. If there is a walkover, the match is void.
2. If there is a retirement, and you picked the person that doesn't retire, you get 3 points. No matter the sets or score.
3. If there is a lucky loser situation and you picked the person the lucky loser replaced and the lucky loser wins, you get points accordingly (3 for correct winner, 5 for correct winner and set). If you picked the opponent and they win, you get points accordingly.

For the H2H tournament we are going to change it to a doubles tournament! Points will be combined together.

You can choose who you go with for the doubles and there will be 16 teams (32 players). The 16 teams will be divided into 4 groups of 4 with the top 2 teams advancing from each pool after 6 round robin matches. Than we will have the quarter finals, semi finals than the final and 3rd/4th playoff. All players without a partner will have theirs randomly selected. I am open to be selected so ask and I will accept!

The seedings will be based on the singles rankings combined divided by two.

Any questions ask away.

TROTUD are you competing in the doubles H2H?

Each predictor is also able to pick a winner and runner up of the respective tournament (they have approximately up to a day before the FIRST ROUND MATCH in which to do this) Come the conclusion of the tournament – two points will be given to each predictor that predicts a correct FINALIST and an additional three points if the FINALIST finishes in their predicted position of WINNER or RUNNER UP.

Slight change in the rules. I know a few people were rather aggravated by getting the finalist but wrong in terms of whether they finished Winner or Runner up.

I'm pretty sure everyone was pretty disappointed that Roddick didn't finish as RU in Miami since a lot of people did seem to pick him
 
oh come on!...you posted a few hours ago!

anyway, if you're still available, i'll happily pair with you....

if not, i'm available for anyone interested...

did i mention i'm IN?

Let's form a team, man, you and me, together, we can rule the world.

Btw, is your username coming from Aphex Twin?

you're correct about my username:)
 
in. I hope to have results for the clay season than I did for hard court. Although looking at my results, don't think it will b that hard to do.
 
@ Tennis_Maestro:

For the future, I have a question about the point system. Currently only number 1-11 get points after tournaments, but meanwhile almost 40 posters are participating. Maybe the point system was created when the game was still relatively small, and you might consider awarding points to those outside the top 10.

For example, if someone is consistently finishing around 15-20 place, he should be ranked higher than someone finishing last all the time. Just a suggestion though...

To all those that haven't signed up already for the ATP Sudden Death League, it's still possible till Sunday!
