This is a game where you pick during a whole tournament and cannot be out after having a bad day.
Despite the name the game is very simple. Game manager puts OOP every day.You only have to follow a few steps.
Step 1. – Pick winners and set rates for all matches (exactly the same as in TT).
Step 2. – Move up and down the matches int he OOP. Most possible good picks should be top, risky ones should be down.
Step 3. (Very Optional) – Well, read the scoring for WAR subevent. That subevent might need a bit of strategy (you can have a separate set of picks for WAR subevent)

Disciplines
Scoring example here (http://www.tennisforum.com/showthread.php?t=458046)
Discipline I. – TC (for historical reasons)
Scoring is easy. You got three points if you pick the winner and the correct set ratio. You got two points if you pick the winner and incorrect set ratio.
Discipline II. – WAR (Worth A Risky Pick?)
It is easier to go through on scoring through an example:
(OOP) Goerges vs Radwanska
Let’s say 8 picked Radwanska and 3 picked Goerges. If Gorges wins the three players who picked her get 8 points (each). If Radwanska wins the players who picked her get 3 points (each).
Discipline III. - Sequence
You should vary the order of the matches in order to have the most possible winners earlier in the sequence. If first row of your pick is a winner (but the second is not) you got 11*11 point. If the first two rows of your pick are winners (but the third is not) you got 12*12 points. If the first three rows of your picks are winners (but the fourth is not) you got 13*13 points. Etc…
Discipline IV. – PRO (Place in Right Order)
You should vary the order of the matches in order to have the most possible winners earlier in the sequence. First row of your pick has a 16 multiplier, second row has 15, third 14 etc. If your pick on the row is a winner with correct set rate your score is 2*the corresponding multiplier, if your pick on the row is a winner but with incorrect set rate then your score is 1* the corresponding multiplier.
Discipline V. – FO (Fitd Online)

The individual race will surely be held!
Team race will be a bit reorganized!
I need 3 or 5 players per team ( I cannot define now as I dont have a clue how many commitment the tourney will have).
Captains will have a crucial task at the end of the first round (of the real tennis tourney) so I need captains.
(I am not going to give any marketing to this, so if you want your team then collect it)

-Scoring for penta (as a summary event) is changed. The rankings of the subevents were summarized until now. The new method:
For every subevent the leader score is considered as 100%, all players get % scores compared to the leader. (So if the leader has 40 pts in TC and you have 34 then then your %score will be 85). These %scores are summarized for penta ranking.
-Teams are playing each other in the following way:
TeamA Player1 vs TeamB Player1
TeamA Player2 vs TeamB Player2
TeamA Player3 vs TeamB Player3
TeamA Player4 vs TeamB Player4
TeamA Player5 vs TeamB Player5
Team order is defined by the captain after the first round (of the tennis tourney). If captains do not PM it then the players are put in ranking order. You may sacrifice one match (put your weakest player against the top player of the other team) in order to gain advantage of the other matches. You may just simply put you team in strength order, etc, the range of tactics are unlimited, but unfortunately the other team has a captain too.

This is just a prelim score. The contest goes till Sunday. You have not win it yet.

OK top match then.
I would suggest not using top match because in effect that match is worth two points, becoming twice as important; an unfair weighting IMO.
Assuming both teams put their best performing player first. The losing team must win the other three matches.
Combined scores will ensure the better performing team wins.
12 top row picks Kirilenko and she retired :facepalm:
