WELCOME TO THE TALK TENNIS 2011 (May 8-15th) ROME MASTERS POWER PLAY LEAGUE

Welcome to the fifth ATP Masters event of the 2011 Tennis Year. It will also be our first PPL event for the Internazionali BNL d'Italia (Rome Masters).

HOW TO PLAY:

For each round of matches, we assign scoring points to each individual. For example, a match between Rafael Nadal (12,870) and Novak Djokovic (9,640) would have the following scoring points:

[1] R Nadal (ESP) vs. [2] N Djokovic (SRB) - (9-12)

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 the Internazionali BNL d'Italia, you must make your first pick before the conclusion of the SECOND ROUND.

rainingaces, to address your post from yesterday

We decide how many picks we have for each PPL tournament based on the number of matches. For Grand Slams (127 matches), we each have 32 picks. Meanwhile ATP Masters (not IW/Miami) have 55 matches so we have 16 picks. Mathematically, we pick about 25% of the matches for Grand Slams and about 29% of the matches for Masters tournaments.

Sorry for the late response, we weren't ignoring your comment :)

No thats all good and fair I was just thinking more picks would be the more accurate way of getting the best winners. Not many more picks, like 22 so that one or two results in the first one or two days does not mean you have no realistic chance of winning. Maybe some qualifying matches could be included also just some possible ideas.

Thanks for the comment and idea! We will definitely take it into consideration as we are always looking for ways to improve the game to make it more fun! :)
 
I am totally against it. No need to increase the chances of people that make hopeful picks of doing well in this game in case of random upsets happening. It takes away from the strategy that might come into playing this game.

The current percentages are fine as it is. The tight standings prove it.
