Power Play League #38 - Madrid Masters 2012 - ANNIVERSARY

NYKings · May 1, 2012

WELCOME TO THE TALK TENNIS 2012 MUTUA MADRID MASTERS (05/06-05/13) POWER PLAY LEAGUE

It's the TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY of the Power Play League!

Welcome to the fourth ATP Masters event of the 2012 Tennis Year, which will also be our third Mutua Madrid 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 Madrid 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 Madrid Masters, you must make your first pick before the conclusion of the SECOND ROUND.

Mutua Madrid Masters Points Scale:

Overall Rankings: The Top Ten & The Top Ten Race

You can pick whenever you want as long as the pick is made before the match begins. You can also cancel any pick before a match begins. For Madrid, we'll make 16 picks. So far you've used four.

I think that's for IW and Miami which has 7 rounds rather than 6.
