New Game: FWTAT Sign Ups

Welcome to Fun WTA Tour :)

Sorry, I lack creativity :o

Anyway, I know there's a lot of games out there right now, and I know that sometimes we get really bored when we lose early in tournaments and we don't have anything to look forward to, so here's another game!

This game is exactly the same as all the others.

Rules: You split the numbers 1-13 in each set, for 3 sets. In the event of a tie, there will be a coin toss to decide who gets the game. :) Simple? Great, because it's easier for you guys and for me to run!

Tournaments will be every week, including Grand Slams!

For doubles, if you guys fail to make teams, I will randomly pair you with another player. Also, there will be no quality points in doubles rankings :sad:

If your doubles partner forgets to turn in points, I will use the ones from the week before, HOWEVER, I will not do the same for singles, this only applies to doubles!

Articles are encouraged, but no bonus points will be given.

So pick one player, and we'll get the game started!
