Power Play League #114 - Monte-Carlo 2016

[NYKings]

WELCOME TO THE TALK TENNIS​

2016 MONTE-CARLO ROLEX MASTERS (04/10-04/17) POWER PLAY LEAGUE​

Welcome to the third ATP Masters 1000 of the 2016 Tennis Year and our sixth Monte-Carlo Masters event for the Power Play League!

HOW TO PLAY:

For each round of matches, we assign scoring points to each individual. For example, a match between Novak Djokovic (12,920) and David Ferrer (6,505) would have the following scoring points:

[1] N Djokovic (SRB) vs. [5] D Ferrer (ESP) - (7-14)

For the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters, as it's an ATP Masters 1000 event, the player picks the winner of 16 out of 55 matches based on the provided scoring points. The scoring points are calculated by a mathematical formula based on the players’ rankings. The objective of the game is to pick a mix of upsets and "sure bets" that will give you the highest score. All matches will be posted in the thread with scoring points while also being available in the League File. We hope you all join and we can make this bigger and better than our previous events!

REMINDER: You can join at any time (even if you want to pick just the final) but to make all 16 picks for Miami, you must make your first pick before the conclusion of the THIRD ROUND.
