IN it to win it....why does the winner get 1250 points isn't it 1000?!

It was agreed upon last year that we are awarding players the points based on the number of picks we make, not depending on the level of the ATP event.

32 Picks (Grand Slams) = 2,000 points
24 Picks (IW, Miami and Queen's/Halle aka Grass Court Masters) = 1,250 points
16 Picks (Brisbane/Doha, Dubai/Acapulco, MC, Rome, Madrid, Canada, Cincy, Beijing/Tokyo, Shanghai, Valencia/Basel, Paris) = 1,000 points
6 Picks (WTF) = 500 points + bonus

Oh I'm in again.

I wonder if Miami will end up being as insanely high scoring in this game as Indian Wells has been.

28. [WC] B Tomic (AUS) vs. P Andujar (ESP) - (15-7) 3rd tomic
 
I am a little confused bit ill gived it a try.

Every match has scoring points for both players based on their rankings. The closer the two players are ranked to eachother the bigger the probability that both their scoring points for the match are equal. The larger the gap in rankings the more lopsided the points between them are.

You have 24 picks. (a pick is one player from one match you like to chose). That player has to win for you to get the scoring points he had next to him.

The scoring points are determined by a mathematical formula.

At the end of the tournament the player with most points accumulated from their 24 picks, wins.

GO!
