WELCOME TO THE TALK TENNIS
2015 INTERNAZIONALI BNL (ROME) MASTERS (05/10 - 05/17) POWER PLAY LEAGUE

Welcome to the fifth ATP Masters 1000 event of the 2015 tennis year, which will also be our sixth Internazionali BNL (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 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 the Internazionali BNL (Rome Masters), as it's an ATP Masters 1000 event, 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, you must make your first pick before the conclusion of the SECOND ROUND.

Rome Points Scale:

The Top Ten:

At any point during the 2015 PPL season, the following four participants can choose to double up on a pick. The double up needs to be announced before the match begins.

  • Locotus
  • rainingaces
  • Rexking

Don't mean to complicate things, but the pick came after the start of the match and it was completely unintended. I know Mayer lost anyway, but technically does it mean the pick gets voided? I will let the organisers to decide on this.

The pick is voided. Any pick after a match that has started is void whether it ends up being beneficial or not for the participant making the pick.

Thanks.
