Each committed players send picks to the game manager for all matches included in the daily OOP. The players pick the winners and the set ratio of all matches. Picking the correct winner gives 2 points, picking the correct winner with correct set ratio gives 3 points. The player who collects the most point at the end of the tournament is the winner.
The team competition:
Each team starts with 5 members. There are two discard days (2nd and 4th day). At the end of the tournament 3 players per team are remaining. The weekly results of those 3 players (and only those) add up. The team which collects the most picks points wins the competition. In case of tie number of correct picks decides. Picking the correct winner gives 2 points, picking the correct winner with correct set ratio gives 3 points.
Discards:
At the end of the discard days team captains nominate a player (PM or in the thread). If captain does not nominate any then the worst picker of the day will be left out. (A team is disqualified if there is more than one person discarded with 0 correct pick)
Play starts on Tuesday:
1. day: All 5 members of the team send.
2. day: All 5 members of the team send.
3. day: All 5 members of the team send. Discard
4. day: 4 send.
5. day: 4 send.
6. day: 4 send. Discard
7. day: 3 sends
8. day: 3 sends
9. day 3 sends
(There is a twist in team competition)
Player A has the following picks : 5 correct pick Monday, 5 correct pick Tuesday, 2 correct pick Wednesday
Player B has the following picks : 3 correct pick Monday, 3 correct pick Tuesday, 3 correct pick Wednesday
Automatic discarding eliminates Player A, but probably player B should be eliminated as he has only 9 cummulated picks compared to 12. )

Laszlo,Are we having any changes this week in the format/team count?
I do not know, depends on the number of commitment. We start Wednesday with the main draw matches. You asked for 5 member/team so that is default (but if eg. we will have 18 players I will modify it to 6/team). One modification: On discard days I list the worst per team as a default for discard, captains should only say if they want somebody different. (On the previous 3 tourneys captains had easy tasks I hope some tougher decisions for this week.) I hope for a 4th team, but I dont do more marketing (I have done a lot without major result).
^^ (Just to present a nice day to Serbian-tennis and Pedropt)
I miss Payam's commitment, but all is welcome to create the 4th team. Play starts Wednesday with MD matches.

Sorry Tennisdude and Payam. You have obviously sent.
This is the second time that TF forgets to copy PMs to my livemail. The problem is that it does it selectively, last time it stopped for a night, now it stopped for an hour. Buji's pick at 8:25 was resent, yours at 9:37 and 10:04 were not, Kevin's at 10:37 was resent again.

I have something to clarify Lazslo, If a player gets say 100 points for 40 picks and another player gets 100 points for 38 picks,how will you sort this?
Do you take it like the one who had most number of successful picks as first or do you consider the one who got more points with lesser number of picks.
valac222
Mar 12th, 2012, 07:21 AM
Most points win. In case of tie number of correct picks decides. If those are equal, then it remains tied.

valac222
Mar 13th, 2012, 07:23 AM
Depending what is important for you (individual or team)
Serbian-tennis: It is not enough to have good score, you have to have 4 points more today than Sam if you do not want to discard yourself. (Although nothing says you have to discard the worst)
Kiriyama: Good pick could only help in the individual race, but if it is the same good pick as the others have then you remains behind. Crazy tipping might help in team, but could destroy individual.
Team India: 3 players within 1 point. I dont dare to say anything.
valac222
Mar 13th, 2012, 08:25 AM
Kiriyama: Cody disappeared, try to get a fifth player for Miami.
(TBH I do not understand why we do not have more TT players. It is not an extra work for them)
Discard day. Worst pickers by team: Pedropt, buji and serbian-tennis. (Discarded players should keep sending)
There is only 1 point diff between buji and Shaddad, but knowing Dinesh he will pick himself. :D

Laszlo, please mark all players who were discarded in red ( as you have started ) in the individuals, so that Kev can know who is still in his Team.
BTW,serbian-tennis I'm honored, but what is a captain supposed to do after no more discards in the game?
:)
Anyway, our team has climbed from last place at the early stages, to 1st with a huge 10 points lead.
Hurrah to us all.
