This is a game where you pick during a whole tournament and cannot be out after having a bad day.
Despite the name the game is very simple. Game manager puts OOP every day.You only have to follow a few steps.
Step 1. – Pick winners and set rates for all matches (exactly the same as in TT).
Step 2. – Move up and down the matches int he OOP. Most possible good picks should be top, risky ones should be down.
Step 3. (Very Optional) – Well, read the scoring for WAR subevent. That subevent might need a bit of strategy (you can have a separate set of picks for WAR subevent)
Discipline I. – TC (for historical reasons)
Scoring is easy. You got three points if you pick the winner and the correct set ratio. You got two points if you pick the winner and incorrect set ratio.
Discipline II. – WAR (Worth A Risky Pick?)
It is easier to go through on scoring through an example:
(OOP) Goerges vs Radwanska
Let’s say 8 picked Radwanska and 3 picked Goerges. If Gorges wins the three players who picked her get 8 points (each). If Radwanska wins the players who picked her get 3 points (each).
Discipline III. - Sequence
You should vary the order of the matches in order to have the most possible winners earlier in the sequence. If first row of your pick is a winner (but the second is not) you got 11*11 point. If the first two rows of your pick are winners (but the third is not) you got 12*12 points. If the first three rows of your picks are winners (but the fourth is not) you got 13*13 points. Etc…
Discipline IV. – PRO (Place in Right Order)
You should vary the order of the matches in order to have the most possible winners earlier in the sequence. First row of your pick has a 16 multiplier, second row has 15, third 14 etc. If your pick on the row is a winner with correct set rate your score is 2*the corresponding multiplier, if your pick on the row is a winner but with incorrect set rate then your score is 1* the corresponding multiplier.

Beginner's guide: You send your picks like TT, with set ratios (2-0 or 2-1), but in the order you are most confident of winning. So if Serena plays she's probably your top pick, and if two equal-ranked scrubs play each other that's likely the bottom pick.
If your pick is correct, you get points according to how many picked the loser in that match. So if you picked Serena in WAR you would get 0 or 1 points, while picking Razzano could yield 20 points.
Therefore you may want to be slightly more adventurous with your WAR picks as the potential payout is large.
