TALK TENNIS POWER PLAY LEAGUE 2021

WELCOME to the 3rd edition of The Olympic Games (07/24-08/01)

>> League File <<

HOW TO PLAY:

SUMMARY:

1. Pick winners for 16 matches out of 64 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 16 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 The Olympics, the player picks the winner of 16 out of 64 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 16 picks for The Olympics, you must make your first pick before the conclusion of the SECOND ROUND.

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 the admins (me or @gn) 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.​

You have 16 picks, there will be 64 matches in total. Choose wisely. Matches below.
