Power Play League #125 - Shanghai 2016

[gn]

WELCOME TO THE TALK TENNIS 2016 SHANGHAI MASTERS ( 10/11 - 10/18 ) POWER PLAY LEAGUE​

Welcome to the eighth Masters 1000 event of the 2016 tennis year and our sixth Shanghai Rolex Masters!

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 Shanghai Rolex Masters, as it's a Masters 1000, 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 and will also be 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 Shanghai, you must make your first pick before the conclusion of the SECOND ROUND.

Shanghai Points Scale:

@Big_Dangerous You may compare it with the sheet and update it as there seems to be an error with few scores.
