What is Tennis Tipping?

In the game, participants pick the winners of all main draw matches and are placed in a knock-out system. That means each participant plays a different participant and whoever predicted the winner of most matches correctly, moves on to the next round. The same applies for doubles, but you're in a team format and your scores are combined.

In case a player (i.e. the actual WTA Player), the retirement WILL count in TT, as long as the first point has been played, but they do not count for SRs or for TBs.

- If players are replaced by a lucky loser after the start of Tennis Tipping, these matches will be cancelled.

Tie-break method for 2013: http://www.tennisforum.com/showthread.php?t=425109




How to Sign-Up:

3 Month + 100 posts Rule: One can only play this game if he has created an account in this forum at least 3 months ago AND has at least 100 posts. An exception is made for veteran MTF players (if you have played TT for 3 months or longer on MTF, then you can play TT on TF immediately.

Just post here that you would like to play. You can only play one tournament per week. Entries will be based on ranking. Everyone can commit.

How to send in picks:

Picks can be sent in as soon as the draws are ready. Remember, you pick a winner inevery match! Picks should be sent by PM, so that your opponent does not know your picks. Picks should be titled: [TT: Charleston, day #]. Picks can be sent in anytime until the beginning of play each day. If you are in singles and doubles then you can use different picks for each if you want to. For doubles, you still tip the WTA singles matches, not the doubles! No changes can be made after the play has started.
You have to send picks before play starts, late picks won´t be accepted!

In case of emergencies/pick sending problems: Only in case of circumstances that a tt player cannot send picks to the manager of the tournament one can send his picks to the below e-mail address. The board will be able to access this account and picks sent here will be counted as normal. Please note that it should ONLY be used in emergencies. Also, a person who uses this method of sending picks should alert the tournament manager and a board member as soon as possible because the account won't necessarily be checked every day.

ttboard@hotmail.co.uk

You can also send your picks to southstar85@live.de if you aren´t able to sign in to the board, as I check this email account daily anyway!

Good Luck, your manager Michael :hatoff:

Re: Tennis Tipping #14a | Charleston | Thursday OOP is out! Send for QFs! 11am start!

Interview with......Kevin. (last local hero who just lost his match yesterday night)

1) What´s your real name,age and where are you from?
Kevin, 21, and I currently live and attend school in Cincinnati,Ohio,USA at the University of Cincinnati (GO BEARCATS!)

2) Tell us one thing which you dislike most about your country/hometown?
The area i live in has a higher crime rate than most people but I have the big tournament just 20 min away :)

3) You decided to play Charleston, do you like to play on green clay? what was your biggest success so far on creen clay?
I decided to play at Charleston because I like the clay, my 2 career finals on the tour were on clay in Italy (2011 Palermo and 2012 Rome). Making the 3rd Round this year is my best on green clay

4) First three months of the year are already over, how satisfied are you with ur current TT season so far?
I am very disappointed with my play so far. It definitely isn't up to par from my last two seasons but I feel like it will turn around soon

5) Who do you predict to win the singles and doubles title here?
I hope I win the singles tournament but I hope whoever I lose to wins :)

6) Did you ever cry after your favourite player won/lost an important tennis match? (if yes, when was the last time/which player/tournament etc.)
I can't remember if I have ever cried but there probably have been some times I have been upset.

7) Do you play tennis yourself? (If yes, what is your best/worst shot)
I do play tennis. I have a pretty good first serve when its in and my worst shot by far is my backhand.

8) Your worst habit?
My worst habit is that I get down on myself alot.

9) We just celebrated Easter, which WTA or ATP player would you like to see in a sexy flurry rabbit costume?
WTA-Kirilenko
ATP-Nadal

10) How far would you go to get a better draw from a TT manager?
thats for me and the manager to discuss :)

thanks :hatoff:

1 My name is Adrian, Adey for short - I was born in London and live in Brighton, which is on the South Coast Of England.
2 The fact that there aren't more people like me living here :D
3 The truth of the matter is that I spent years trying to get a good ranking, this time last year I was stuck in quallies for most events - so I am making the most of the fact that at the moment I can play in any event I like. This will be the first time I've not had to play quallies here, last year I made 1R and a few years ago I made 2R.
4 I am reasonably happy, a few semis and a couple of quarters so far, but obviously want to do better than that.
5 The cream of TT Society will be here so it's a tough event, I think that mateusz2904, my doubles partner will do well here. AdeyC/mateusz2904 will hopefully win their first title of the year here too ;)
6 Not cried but have been tearful - Graf v Novotna Wimbledon is my all-time tear jerker.
7 I do - being British of course it's the strong forehand.
8 Get too much into the game sometimes, but that has done me more favours over in MTF than it ever did in WTF ;)
9 As it's WTF I'll say Heather Watson.
10 I wouldn't dream of ever considering flattering one of the best WTF Managers, one of the best WTF Board Members, one of the best WTF Players and
one of the best human beings ever to walk this planet just to get a good draw for myself :)

I think you should try to lose today, Michael. Don't want to lose the #5 ranking again :oh:
 
#513 ·
Re: Tennis Tipping #14a | Charleston | Thursday OOP is out! Send for QFs! 11am start!

I want to make interviews with the finalist (if they didn´t get one before), so I will definitely tank before the finals as I don´t wanna interview myself! :p

anyway, goOudinUSA probably didn´t notice that play starts one hour later today and already forwarded me all picks but I already made my picks yesterday and won´t make any changes!:p
