Tennis Chess ia a game similar to games you well know Tennis Tipping and Tipping.
There is a draw in Tennis Chess for as many players as in real WTA Tournament we're playing without byes:
aaa vs bbb
ccc vs ddd
...
xxx vs yyy
The main rule is just to make more right picks in each round than your opponent. If you do you reach next round, if not you're out.
R1
aaa vs bbb 9-7
ccc vs ddd 11-9
R2
aaa vs ccc
If there is a draw in 1st round, the winner is that whos posted his last picks earlier (but if someone will edit his pick later is also counting like posting picks)
In next rounds in case of draw firstly we look back to previous rounds to emerge a winner:
R2
aaa vs ccc 6-6 -> R1: aaa-9, ccc-11
winner is ccc
In case of draw in R2 and the same number of right picks in R1 there is a time of posted R2 picks deciding etc.
Why Tennis Chess?
The rules seems easy but the game is not that simple like posting tennis players you think will win, because it can give you nothing. You have to play chess with your opponent, deluding him in order to change your picks in last time to beat him.
You shuold send all picks from particular round in ONE post before certain time(first match start) but in case of 1st and 2nd round where matches are played sometimes two days you can sending picks in two daily separate post, that way give you chance to react if you're losing after Day1 to send different picks than your opponent. It's a possibility to edit yours picks until the same certain time what posting it first time. .
Points will be awarded like in WTA tournament and made rankings:
-Tour single
-Race to YEC

That's not fair then, b/c I would've chosen Petrova, but Kingoftennis chose her first, so I chose Mattek so I could have a chance to win, even though I think Petrova will win.

bhebhe I think JujulCactus beat hellas 719 in Semis 1-1 (3-3) (7-6)

Nov 2nd, 2008, 10:58 PM
I also had 6 points :shrug::
Yes you had. First thing to do in a tie is back to previous round and see who has the biggest amount of correct picks.
As you are a seed you didn't play 1st Round.
So in that case the person who post pick earlier wins the match.
You posted secound round pick in post #97 and hellas719 posted in post #81.
So he/she wins. :D

But I posted my 2nd part of 2nd round picks earlier. (post #100 to #115) :confused:
And according to the rules
If there is a draw in 1st round, the winner is that whos posted his last picks earlier (but if someone will edit his pick later is also counting like posting picks)
In next rounds in case of draw firstly we look back to previous rounds to emerge a winner:
I also played first round, but there was also a tie (4 to 4) there
Please, explain this to me, and sorry if I'm being a bit too "tiring" but I just want the rules to be straight just in case I'll play another tournaments :)

Ohhh... Yes you won the match. Sorry the last TennisChess tournament I run was doubles and there the rules are different. Because the first person who post is the winner. But here the last who posts is the loser. So sorry :wavey:.

bhebhe I think JujulCactus beat hellas 719 in Semis 1-1 (3-3) (7-6)
JujulCactus was late with his picks for 2nd round, so he didn't collect 7 points after all.
Quebec tournament was total mess, I have to do something with this game for new season, if there will be anyone eager to play :lol:
