WELCOME to the 10th edition of MIAMI MASTERS (03/24-04/04)


>> 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 Miami, 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 Miami, you must make your first pick before the conclusion of the THIRD ROUND.

Please post in this thread if you'll be playing and we will add your name to the file. Have fun!


New Rule 2021:
All match picks must be in by the time Flashscore shows as the start time of the match. Some rounding may take place, so be aware that any picks made in the few minutes before/after play begins may be either accepted or denied.

Additionally, if for any reason you would prefer to keep your picks private, send a private message to two of the admins (me, @gn, or @Big_Dangerous) with those picks. Usual rules apply with this private message. No editing, no late picks. If necessary, one admin and another PPL poster will suffice. Your match picks will then be posted by the admin once the match in question has begun.​

Wow, this PPL tournament is probably the closest one between so many people we've had as long as I've been around. 5 people still in contention for #1 and there's only 4 matches left to be played!

Let's see how it plays out between @Locotus, @James P, @gn, @bezs, and @Aussie Darcy! Currently Locotus is on top, but the highest average goes to bezs! Unfortunately, bezs and Aussie won't be able to use all their picks (with only 4 matches left), so it remains to be seen. Let's see something exciting!

Originally, I picked all 4 including Hubert over Tsitsipas. Then removed Hubert pick since I only had 3 picks remaining.
In hindsight, I should have picked Hubert over Tsitsipas than Korda over Rubles :-D

Congratulations to @Locotus for winning his 3rd Miami title, 7th Masters, and 12th title overall! @James P comes in second, and @PDJ in third!

The rankings move! The gap between myself and @Locotus drops to just 700 points, while @PDJ rounds out the top 3. @gn advances into #5, and other movement also occurs. Ranking movement like this hasn't happened in a while!

With this @James P also overtakes me for #1 in the race! Very consistent play by him, and I look forward to seeing the race for #1 play out in the coming tournaments. Still very close.

Congrats to everyone, well played!​

He's got 2 great opportunities for the push to #1.

The first one, like his PFP, happens before the NA swing, he can gain up to 7k points before then, whereas the top 3 right now can gain significantly less than that. The second is just before the WTF, and he can push for YE#1. Excited to see what he pulls together!
