If a match becomes invalid (withdrawals and the like) the pick is not counted and you may reuse it any other time during the tournament.
No Commitments are necessary, and you should post the predictions in this thread. :)

U]How the Scoring works:[/U]
Here is an example:
Several players decide to predict the Myskina vs Petrova Quarter-Final Match
ACTUAL MATCH RESULT: Myskina def Petrova 6-7, 6-1, 6-1
Let’s say the following are predictions from a range of players:
1. Myskina to beat Petrova 6-7, 6-1, 6-1
Dead accurate and correct score, 35 points.
2. Myskina to beat Petrova 6-1, 6-7, 6-1
You predicted the number of sets correctly and you got all three set scorelines correct, just in reverse the actual, this still gets you 25 points.
3. Myskina to beat Petrova 6-1, 3-6, 6-2
You predicted the number of sets correctly, and you predicted one of the set scorelines correct (6-1) and it was correct because Myskina won that set 6-1 like she actually did.
A prediction like this will reward you 20 points. (note if you predicted two of the sets correct but not the third on in a three match you will be given a bonus 3 points here)
4. Myskina to beat Petrova 7-6, 3-6, 6-4
You predicted the number of sets correctly, and although 7-6 was in the actual scoreline, in the real match Petrova won the set 7-6 not Myskina, as you have predicted.
So any situations like this when you have predicted the correct winner and correct number of sets but no correct actual scorelines, you still gain 15 points.
5. Myskina to beat Petrova 6-1, 6-2
You predicted the correct winner but not the correct number of sets but you did correctly predict at least one scoreline that was correct (6-1 in Myskina’s favour), so you get 12 points.
(note if you picked Myskina to beat Petrova 6-1, 6-1, you still got at least one set correct, so that’s worth 12 too).
6. Myskina to beat Petrova 6-3, 7-6
You predicted the correct winner, but neither of the scorelines were correct (note that 7-6 was in the real scoreline but in Petrova’s favour not Myskina’s as you have predicted). A prediction like this will reward you with 10 points.
7. Petrova to beat Myskina 7-5, 1-6, 7-6
0 points for any incorrect “match” winner prediction.

sorry ghosts, extra picks will only be granted if one of your picks withdraws, you cannot just save picks or get rewarded with more picks because you were late. You can easily still predict the score in Nemeckova/Nagyova to be your 7th pick.
First round scores will be posted upon completion of the Frist round tomorrow. That means there is still time to get into the game and pick for the first round. Have fun :)

I'm really doing terrible all around in Warsaw :rolleyes: Here, PAW, you name it, I suck. I can't wait until this week is over ;)
CONGRATULATIONS to yoyoyoyo...who beat out alwayshingis in the last second to grab the J&S Title!!!! (After Venus maliciously, ruthlessly, and with malice aforethought, beat my Sveta)
The tournament was a lot of fun everybody...I hope you all play Berlin this week. :) Oh, and help lobby for a Predict-the-SCORE forum in the games section!
