WELCOME TO THE TALK TENNIS 2012 ROME MASTERS (05/13-05/20) POWER PLAY LEAGUE

Welcome to the fifth ATP Masters event of the 2012 Tennis Year, which will also be our second Internazionali BNL d'Italia (Rome 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 Internazionali BNL d'Italia (Rome 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 Rome Masters, you must make your first pick before the conclusion of the SECOND ROUND.

IW/Miami are 2 week events, the winner of the first almost has a week off before the second. I don't see that as a true back to back MS titles. Canada/Cincy I wasn't sure of.
Yeah, Canada/Cincy is the same deal as Madrid/Rome. Madrid/Rome's recent obviously, but Canada/Cincy has been back to back for a while.
