TALK TENNIS POWER PLAY LEAGUE 2020

WELCOME to the 10th edition of INDIAN WELLS MASTERS (03/09-03/22)


>> League File <<

HOW TO PLAY:

SUMMARY:

1. Pick winners for 24 matches out of 95 matches.

2. For every correct prediction, you get certain assigned points.
For e.g.: [1] N Djokovic (SRB) vs. [5] D Ferrer (ESP) - (7-14)
If you predict Novak as winner and he wins, you get 7 points.
If you predict Ferrer as winner and he wins, you get 14 points.

3. Whoever gets the most points after 24 picks wins the title.

DETAILED EXPLANATION:


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 Indian Wells, as it's an ATP Masters 1000 (IW & Miami) event, the player picks the winner of 24 out of 95 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 24 picks for Indian Wells, you must make your first pick before the conclusion of the THIRD ROUND.

As with the event, PPL will also be cancelled. Will reschedule as Indian Wells does. If no date is found for the real tournament, another tournament may take its spot in the PPL lineup for 2020.

There's a few options -
1. 2 year rolling system for 2021. Would affect rankings.
2. Use the 2019 edition of tournaments that weren't played, 2020 edition for those that were.
3. Use only the 2020 points for defending, making future points very volatile.

As for the rankings, we freeze at the same time that the ATP did. I'm leaning toward using #2, it would make things pretty close to fair, I think.

Hi Paul @PDJ all good here thanks for asking. Hope you are well?

With SDL we wait and see what ATP/WTA do.

An option may be to halve the 2019 points and retain them.

To ease the total boredom I found time to add a career points tab to the ATP SDL. We are very close 2nd/3rd.. :)

I'm in the Top Three? No! If so, it's longevity over quality.
