WELCOME TO THE TALK TENNIS
2013 BRISBANE/DOHA (12/30 - 01/06 ) POWER PLAY LEAGUE​

Welcome to the first event of the 2013 Tennis Year and our third Brisbane International & Qatar ExxonMobil Open for the Power Play League!

HOW TO PLAY:​

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 Brisbane International & Qatar ExxonMobil Open, as it's a combined event of two 250 tournaments, the player picks the winner of 16 out of 58 matches based on the provided scoring points. For the combined tournament you MUST pick at least four matches from each tournament. 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 BRISBANE/DOHA, you must make your first pick before the conclusion of the SECOND ROUND.

Definitely In. Looking forward. Wondering though, why can I double up on a pick?

You were on the winning group in the WTF group competition. You don't have to necessarily use the double up pick during Brisbane/Doha as it can be used at any point throughout the 2013 PPL year.

The Nishikori match had already concluded by the time you made your picks so it has been voided. You've only made 5 picks thus far.
