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.It is an easy game. You only have to follow a few steps.
Step 1. – Pick winners and set rates for all matches (exactly the same as in TT). It is enough to take part in the game and if your pick is good enough you’ll be fine in 2 subevents.
Step 2. – Move up and down the matches int he OOP. Most possible good picks should be top, risky ones should be down. If you are good in this you’ll be OK for another 2 subevents.
Step 3. (Very Optional) – Well, read the scoring for WAR subevent. That subevent might need a bit of strategy (although you can be good in it without any strategic thinking)(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)

Step 1. – Pick winners and set rates for all matches (exactly the same as in TT).
Step 2. – Move up and down the matches in the 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. The game has about 20 players now, 5-6 send different for this, so do not bother if you dont want.

So risking Cirstea turned into a bad move as it swung the majority round. That is what I love about this game.

had some issues with the reports. Take a while to find out that a player went for safe picking and picked both King and Kerber :D (and no pick for Cirstea Arviddson). I deleted both King and Kerber.
TennisDude08 has extended his lead. (he picked Cetkovska)
TI has a huge lead.
(and probably a bad discording from Dynamo)

I agree with Mios. For the benefit of the team, even if Mios betters himself ( which he surely will do), the low score until now will be taken into account in the rankings of this week, so the team will suffer for it.
Discarding Hakon is not a wise step to do.
