You simply sign in for yourself and I'll try to regularly update the entry list so that you can see with whom you can team up. If you already have an agreement with some player for this event, you just both type with whom you're playing as you sign in. You can have a maximum of three different partners during one season.
HOW TO PLAY
Playing Tipping is very easy. I will post the schedule and then you just tip who you think will win. Both members of a team post, each for him/herself.
e.g If the schedule was...
Ivanovic/Li vs. V. Williams/Pironkova
Kvitova/Wozniacki vs. Barthel/Goerges
This is how you would tip...
Ivanovic/Li
Barthel/Goerges
It is only main draw doubles matches.
If there's 1 point played in a match then the match counts (walkover or a pre-match retirement doesn´t count).
Pick for each match should be posted before the start of that match.
For the final match you will also need to guess how many games will be played. This will work as a tiebreaker.
Do NOT edit your post. If you want to change your picks do it in a new post. Edited posts will make all your picks invalid.
Also DO NOT make changes to your picks by quoting your previous post; this will make all of your changes invalid.
HOW TO SOLVE TIES
1. Team where both players guessed the winner.
2. Team closer in games guessed by average.
3. Team with the player who posted quickest in the final.
4. Team with the higher score in the semifinals, quarterfinals...until the tie is resolved.
SCORING AND BONUS POINTS
First Round = 1 point per correct tip.
Every additional round = one point more than for the previous, per correct tip.
Combined points of team members form a team score for the Race; individual points are used for a 52-week ranking.

Partners list for 2012 is now up in post #2.
For those who don't understand, people whose names are on orange have already had 3 partners and can team up just with one of them. Those with names on yellow have had 2 partners this year. Those whose names are on white have only had one partner this season.
Rows and columns show players in the same order, so if your name is in 7th row, it means that yours is also 7th column. That's why some cells are painted black, cause you can't be a partner to yourself. If there is a red cell in column #13 of your row, it means that you've already been a partner of player in 13th row. If you have questions, feel free to ask for further explanation.
I have not counted teams dvaske93/Banditoo from Wimbledon (never confirmed), and Drake1980/JJohnyTheSaviOuR and Tuckii/digor from the Olympics (couldn't have been teamed-up in the first place - see Olympic doubles thread for further info).

I have added a note about scheduling at the end of post #1. Now you know where we'll play doubles next time without going to see the whole calendar:)
Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova/Lucie Safarova vs. Timea Babos/Eleni Daniilidou
Nuria Llagostera Vives/Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez vs. Klaudia Jans-Ignacik/kristina Mladenovic
Vera Dushevina/Tamarine Tanasugarn vs. Janette Husarova/Shahar Peer
Liga Dekmeijere/Alicja Rosolska vs. Ekaterina Makarova/Olga Savchuk
Natalie Grandin/Vladimira Uhlirova vs. Darija Jurak/Katalin Marosi
Alla Kudryavtseva/Mandy Minella vs. Anastasia Rodionova/Galina Voskoboeva
INFO: managers have been discussing that we should limit the time available for finding a doubles partner, and it seems to be some sort of a consensus that two days should be enough. We won't implement this in Montreal, because we haven't discussed it with players, but it's not impossible that this will become a new rule starting with Cincinnati.
I'll remind people of this a few more times during the week, so that there are no surprises in the next event.
Yanina Wickmayer
Julia Goerges
Chanelle Scheepers
Aleksandra Wozniak
Ekaterina Makarova
Sorana Cirstea
Michelle Larcher de Brito
Anna Tatishvili
Sofia Arvidsson
Carla Suarez Navarro
Vera Dushevina/Tamarine Tanasugarn
Natalie Grandin/Vladimira Uhlirova
Anastasia Rodionova/Galina Voskoboeva
Nuria Llagostera Vives/Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez

Chan/Chan vs Alternate
I've updated scores and posted Thursday's OOP on page 1.
A T T E N T I O N !
Order of play posted by Ben. in post #79 lists Chan/Chan vs alternate, while that on the tournament website lists Chan/Chan vs Dulko/Pennetta. I always post the one from the tournament website, but you can choose which one to go with, at your own risk. Our starting time reference website (http://xscores.com/tennis/tennis.jsp?dt=09%2F08&flag=sportData) states the same as Ben., although it seems that no one knows who is in this alternate team.
We don't have a singles manager for next week's tournament in Cincinnati!
If anyone is interested to help out, just say so in the CALENDAR THREAD ([B][CENTER]We don't have a manager for next week's tournament in Cincinnati!).
I know, that's why I stated that people choose whom to trust at their own risk. Tournament website (at the time of me posting the OOP) stated otherwise, and now I can't seem to be able to access their website for some reason (maybe it's just some bug on my PC or connection...). I even checked Pennetta's and Dulko's respective forums to see if there's some news, but ended up with nothing.

Grandin/Uhlirova vs Lisicki/Peng

Thanks for your effort but it seems like our OOP's differ again; tournament website says only 3 out of 4 QF's will be played today and your OOP shows all four...?
Folks, if you are not changing picks for matches that were supposed to be played yesterday, you don't have to post them again, just post for new matches.
Yesterday Dulko and Pennetta really did pull out, but we didn't know who the alternating team is until the start of the day's program, so I don't think we should even count that match. Opinions?
New scores coming up tomorrow, it's ridiculous to update them for just one (or two) matches.

Several hours after the match?!

Anyway, I don't think we'll even count that one.

So there you go guys, congrats to Hindrance. for a great week, unfortuntely you weren't able to find a parter for this event, who knows what might've happened if that were not the case. Great job anyway! Of course congrats and thanks to my partner for joining me in a team win, my first in tipping doubles. There were several ties, individual ones were resolved based on rules from tipping singles, while those where teams were tied were (of course) resolved by rules from tipping doubles i.e. those you can find in the opening post.
Thank you all for playing and see you guys in Cincinnati:wavey:
