Explanation:
The "Race" is a year-long competition to see who is best at picking WTA tour event winners.
Like the tour, the "Race" continues right up to the WTA finals.
Come and join "Race the Game"
you don´t need to commit for this Game, just post your picks and you are in

How to Enter:
Pick two women for each event.
One pick MUST be 8th seed or unseeded
if you pick a seeded player, please post her seed # behind her Name

you can change your picks til deadline as often you want, but please don´t "edit" your original post - please post new
you can also change your picks til "Late Entry Deadline" but then it will count as "Late Entry"

what if my picked player withdraw late?

so don´t post any replacement picks before one of your picks withdraw
if your picked player withdraw after deadline it is bad luck for you.
so take this in consideration when you post your picks.

HeninHardenne........ 8
Kuznetzova........... 4
Safarova............. 4
Na Li................ 2

HeninHardenne was picked by each player who entered "the Race" this week. and so each player earned at least 8 points this week.
Clijsters was also picked by around 90%, but Kuznetzova was picked just once from alwayshingis. well done.
Krajicek and Safina has been the favorits in Estoril
and so noone picked the qualifier Safarova
(maybe i need to post the qualifiyng draw in the future too)
Na Li was picked just 8 times

as we had 1 unseeded player in each final (they even won the torunaments this week)
it was possible to reach a total ammount of 18 points
