Playing Tipping is very easy. I will post the schedule and then you just tip who you think will win. To play, just type "in" and add a name of your partner.
e.g If the schedule was...
Errani/Vinci vs Hlavackova/Hradecka
Huber/Raymond vs Kirilenko/Petrova
This is how you would tip...
Errani/Vinci
Huber/Raymond
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. The team which guessed the winning pair.
2. The team which is closest in games guessed.
3. The team whose players posted the fastest in the final. If no one posted in the final, points from previous rounds are examined going backwards, until a clear advantage of one team is confirmed.
SCORING AND BONUS POINTS
First Round = 1 point per correct tip.
Every additional round = one point more than for the previous, per correct tip.
Bonus points: Cincy is a P5 event, so given below are the bonus points to be awarded ->
Premier 5 (12 players and 6 teams)
1st: 225
2nd: 150
3rd/4th: 100
5th-8th: 75
9th-12th: 35
