The "Race" is a year-long competition to see who is best at picking WTA-Tour Event winners.

Like the Tour, the "Race" continues right up to the WTA finals.
Come and join "Race the Game"
You don´t need to commit for this Game, just post your picks and you are in

Grand Slam Rules:
How to Enter

Predict how far they will go by choosing the quarters, semis, finals, and winner.if you pick one of the top8 seeded players they have to be in set 1.set 2 has to be just unseeded or lower seed then #8 seed players
Summary:
set1: you can choose whoever you wantset2: you can pick just players lower then #8 and unseed, but not a player you already have picked in set1 You may change your picks until Deadline
No late entries for Grand Slams

If you play the first time of the year then please choose a Country you want to represent the whole season.
Please think about carefully, since you can not change for the rest of the season

what if my picked player withdraw late?

so don´t post any replacement picks before one of your picks withdraw
if your picked player withdraw after deadline it is bad luck for you.
so take this in consideration when you post your picks.
