WELCOME TO THE TALK TENNIS 2012 MONTE-CARLO ROLEX MASTERS (04/15 - 04/22) POWER PLAY LEAGUE​

Welcome to the third ATP Masters event of the 2012 Tennis Year, which will also be our second Monte-Carlo Masters Power Play League tournament.

HOW TO PLAY:​

For each round of matches, we assign scoring points to each individual. For example, a match between Roger Federer (9,035) and John Isner (2,710) would have the following scoring points:

[3] R Federer (SUI) vs. [11] J Isner (USA) - ( 5-18 )

For the Monte-Carlo Masters, as it's an ATP Masters 1000, the player picks the winner of 16 out of 55 matches (not all from one round) 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 Monte-Carlo Masters, you must make your first pick before the conclusion of the SECOND ROUND.

Please post in this thread if you'll be playing and we will add your name to the file. Have fun!
 
"1940!" used to be such a ringy chant! Why did the Canucks let them off the hook in '94?

Back to tennis...who could resist following a week of it played in the most picturesque tax-haven in the world. The wheel is spinning...place your bets!
 
Hoping to improve on 16th. Gotta love being a newbie because it means no points to defend.

I also voted for the Blues - loved watching them go beyond expectations this year.
 
I'll be rooting for either the Blues or the Blackhawks in the West. Patrick Sharp does tempt me...

BTW, the Eastern Conference poll is in the Prediction League thread.
 
I don't have the time right at this moment to do all the scoring points, but here they are for the three matches tomorrow:

7. V Troicki (SRB) vs. [WC] J-R Lisnard (MON) - (3-36)
15. [WC] B Balleret (MON) vs. [9] G Smion (FRA) - (40-3)
17. I Ljubicic (CRO) vs. I Dodig (CRO) - (9-11)

Will get to the rest in a few hours if NYK or Jay don't get there first.
