WELCOME TO THE TALK TENNIS 2010 U.S. OPEN POWER PLAY LEAGUE

Welcome to the seventh installment of the Power Play League. We had a good showing at our last Grand Slam (PPL #4) and we hope that we'll have an even bigger crowd for the U.S. Open, the final Grand Slam of 2010!

The player/participant picks the winner of a fixed number of matches based on the provided scoring points. The objective of each tournament is to to choose matches that will give you the highest total score.

For the U.S. Open, as it's a Grand Slam, we'll be picking any 32 matches (not all from one round) out of total of 127. All matches will be posted in the thread with scoring points and will also be available in the league file. Please read the Instructions and FAQ for further details. We hope you all join and we can make this bigger and better than our previous events!

But they can't all be from the first round, so I'm guessing 31/32 can be first round right?

Correct. You can make 31 picks in the first round and 1 pick in the second or vice versa and be done with your picks. The general strategy though has been to spread them out a bit.
 
Actually, I'd like to ban you from playing for a few events so that the rest of us can attempt to catch up :)

Kidding of course! You're great at this game!

LoL ..... let's take a vote ...... J/K too! :p robin's an inspiration.

Beautiful header in your OP, NYKings! :)
