Suicide Bali Tournament of Champions 2009
Inaugural Tournament of Champions
2008 Final: lover_of_myskina (FRA) def. ganymedeyu (TAI)
1. You know the rules. Or else, you would not have made it this far.
2. For Bali, the rules will be slightly different than our conventional Suicide murderous tournaments. For the three days of round robin play, you can pick ANY player you wish -- but only once during this three day period -- like any other tournament. However, on SEMIFINAL day, your picks will be RESET and you may pick any of the 4 remaining players; even if you did or did not choose them previously.
For example, if your 3 days read like this: (Bartoli, Stosur, Wickmayer), on Semifinal day, you may choose any remaining competitor, including Bartoli, Stosur or Wickmayer. If your pick wins on SF day, you advance to the final where you would choose the other person available.
Easy, right? Try and make it out of round robin play first.
3. If for some reason one or even two of the 12 entrants do not enter on the openning, the alternates, which will be designated, will play in their place. If an alternate # 1 is not available, alternate # 2 will be used. # 13 and # 14 in the international race (who did not play Doha) will be used as alternates # 1 and # 2.
