Monte Carlo Masters Prediction League...!!!! Prize to Winner! (Second in the Series)

Rain rain rain

There's an order of play out but I don't know how we want to do things?

Shall we post up and everyone predict for each potential match up now or shall we say you just have to predict tomorrow once a match up has been determined?

the latter would be less confusing, the former easier for more people to ensure they get a prediction
 
I think the former?
  • [7] F Verdasco (ESP) vs [3] N Djokovic (SRB) Verdasco in 3
  • [Q] A Beck (GER) vs [13] S Wawrinka (SUI) Wawrinka in 2
  • [1] R Nadal (ESP) or [Q] N Lapentti (ECU) vs S Bolelli (ITA) or [WC] I Ljubicic (CRO)
    • If Nadal wins, Nadal in 2.
    • If Lapentti wins and Ljubicic wins, Lapentti in 3
    • If Lapentti wins and Bolelli wins, Lapentti in 2
  • [4] A Murray (GBR) or [Q] F Fognini (ITA) vs [12] D Nalbandian (ARG) or [8] N Davydenko (RUS)
    • If Murray wins and Nalby wins, Nalbandian in 3
    • If Foginini wins and Nalby wins, Nalby in 2
    • If Davydenko wins, Davy in 2

Still pretty complicated. :)

^ I don't agree that sort of system is fair enough to be employing, especially as a player joining in late might hit an amazing streak of good predictions and then all of a sudden shoot to the top of the table. I'm sure that would infuriate many @ the top of the table.

But if they hit an amazing streak, they'll have earned it. Otherwise, those who join in late will never be contenders. They have no reason to join in late as they'll always be behind and have no stake in the competition.

Just to say, if we're taking opinions on it, I have no problem with people joining late being given some base points from the previous days to allow them to be competitive, the more the merrier ^^

I agree. I think minus two might keep it fairer than lowest minus one. Either way, we can keep score both ways and just see how things end up in the end and compare. I mean the ranking aren't really changed much either way.
 
  • [7] F Verdasco (ESP) vs [3] N Djokovic (SRB) Verdasco 2-1
  • [Q] A Beck (GER) vs [13] S Wawrinka (SUI) Wawrinka 2-0
  • [1] R Nadal (ESP) or [Q] N Lapentti (ECU) vs S Bolelli (ITA) or [WC] I Ljubicic (CRO)
    • If Nadal wins, Nadal in 2.
    • If Lapentti wins and Ljubicic wins, Ljubicic 2-1
    • If Lapentti wins and Bolelli wins, Lapentti 2-1
  • [4] A Murray (GBR) or [Q] F Fognini (ITA) vs [12] D Nalbandian (ARG) or [8] N Davydenko (RUS)
    • If Murray wins, Murray 2-1
    • If Fognini wins and Nalby wins, Nalby 2-0
    • If Fognini wins and Davydenko wins, Davydenko 2-0

Am I going to be alone in thinking murray will dig out a win?

I am fine with people joining, but maybe we should do minimum score minus one match for each missed day (2 or 5 points if I am correct).

The Djokovic v Wawrinka match is virtually a title decider between me and Shadows.

He's back Djokivic in 3 and i've back Wawrinka in 3.

Cmooon Stanislan!!!!!!!!
 
[1] R Nadal (ESP) vs [3] N Djokovic (SRB) - Djokovic in 3.

I am going to drop to 7th place because of this, but 6th or 7th, who cares :)

don't forget that you picked nadal / djokovic as the final from the start (with rafa to eventually win), so you've effectively now got both bases covered for points either way ^^

Yes that is true :)
Forgot about that. I got both finalists right. How much points do we get for that?

Also is it allowed to do what I did? Predict one player to win it all at the beginning and than even though that player is playing in the final predict another one will win? I guess it is.

Come the conclusion of the tournament – ten points will be given to each predictor that predicts BOTH the correct winner and runner up and five points for the one or the other.

Basically means if Nadal wins you'll get 10 points.

As for tomorrow.

People are gonna be suprised by this, but, Nadal in 3. :D I'll sacrifice 2nd .. not fussed, i just have this intuitive feeling about Djokovic coming VERY close.

11. Gugafan – 24
12. Mungo73 - 14

Almost pulled off the miraculous and drew level with Shadows by having a shot @ Murray to sneak a set, oh well. :D I'll have you in Roland Garros my friend. :D

Seffina and TheNatual keeping pace with 2nd place. Dunno about you guys, but its been pretty much an anti-climax in terms of the leaderboard as everyone knows Nadal's almost certainly never going to drop a set. lol

so we get no bonus points for getting the correct finalists compared to the guys who only got 1 correct finalist? :mrgreen:




Nadal 2-0 v Joker.

Congratulations to Shadow's on yet another Master's Series Prediction's title! I've cutten the gap from the Miami event, but he still seems to have my number.

A good word to Seffina for proving its some women do know their stuff as well.

Btw, the points for predicting the finalists were added.

GJ011 you recieved 10 ... 5 for Nadal being the winner and an additional 5 for Djokoivic as runner up. TheNatural as well.

Everyone else had 5 added to their overall final score as we predicted Nadal to win.

Hope you enjoyed it and thanks to everyone for taking part. Look out for the Rome Master's Prediction League in 2 days time ;)
