1. Each day of play, you must pick 1 winner playing a WTA main draw singles match. (READ: DO NOT PICK A MATCH FROM THE QUALIFYING DRAW!). Of course, the player that you choose, is playing one match scheduled to be played that day (as seen on the order of play).
2. Once you pick someone, you cannot choose them again for the rest of the tournament. So, you don't want to waste a pick on Ana Ivanovic or Maria Sharapova in the early rounds. Conversely, you don't want to make a pick at all on Nicole Vaidisova. Has-beens are not hot.
3. You must choose one player to win each day. If you forget, are sick, or are unable to reach a computer, it will be treated as a wrong pick, and you will be out of the tournament. As well, your pick must be chosen before the pick's match has commenced, otherwise it will be considered a wrong pick, and thus you will again, be out of the tournament.
4. In the case of a walkover, or a withdrawal, each player is allowed to have a back-up pick, selected at the same time as their initial pick. That back-up pick will only be used in the occurence of a walkover or withdrawal, as stated above. Retirements do count as completed matches.
Replacement picks must be identitified like this:
BACK-UP PICK - SAMANTHA "When will I FINALLY Win a Match" STOSUR
If it is not clearly identitified, then both picks will be declared invalid.
5. There are no BYE's for International Events.
6. To sign up, please type the word "In". Variations are more than acceptable. Your sign up will be confirmed when you post your picks on the first day of main draw play, and so it is not necessarily a "must" to sign in.
7. Please be advised that you may only play ONE Suicide Tennis tournament per week. If you play in multiple tournaments per week, you will be given a score of ZERO for the week to go into your ranking.
8. Once you've post your pick it's final, you CAN'T change them.
So don't edit or delete your post or else you will be DISQUALIFIED!

Day 6
Goerges
BU: No Pick
All the players I picked did too well this week...I picked all unseeded players until Goerges....and watch me jinx her.
2 sets lost (Vinci and Suarez Navarro) 46 games lost
British Player Picks: Keothavong, Benesova, Hercog, Vinci, Kerber, Goerges
1 set lost (Vinci), 34 games lost.
I could be wrong, but according to my calculations...in order to win the title Nadjagina needs both Goerges and Keothavong to win tomorrow. If Goerges and Keothavong both make the final Nadjagina will win the title by virtue of having a pick in the final in this fantastic week of suicide tennis. If Goerges falls to Kerber, OR if Keothavong loses to Vinci (Which I don't want to happen...I want Keothavong to win this tourney!) Regardless of the result I congratulate Nadjagina on a week well played. Best of luck to both players!
