ART- The Amazing Race Tour- Sign Up and Rules Thread
 

Hello and welcome to the Amazing Race Tour. A new concept by your managers no-hay-igual and Serena_4ever. This game requires you to choose 3 players ranked either inside the top 200, top 50 junior players, a recently retired player or a doubles specialist. Your players will then take part in a race around the World to complete the ultimate goal of winning multiple grand slams and becoming the world's best player!!

Tournaments will be consisted of a 24 tournament calendar, split up into three seasons consisting of 8 weeks each, like this:

When a sub forum is opened, you will commit for your first 8 tournamnets in season 1 and every season you have 5000 dollars to spend. You split these dollars into your 8 weeks which you committed for e.g

Week 1- 1000 dollars
Week 2- 400 dollars
Week 3- 900 dollars
Week 4- 400 dollars
Week 5- 400 dollars
Week 6: 400 dollars
Week 7: 1000 dollars
Week 8- 500 dollars
NOTE- No more than 1000 points for a tournament and no less than 300 points

These dollars are then converted into points and you have to split these into three sets e.g

Week 1- 1000 dollars
500-400-100

Every grade of tournament is worth different points:
G1: Winner: 2000 points

Woop, well excited!! Get committing people, I think that this is going to be a new and exciting game on tennis forum!! If you don't understand any of the rules, then just ask us, we will be happy to help. We have decided not to commit our players yet as we want to give others a chance to choose theirs, before we choose ours. Thanks :-)
