Take a look at the <a href="http://www.wtaworld.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=3&t=000151" target="_blank">Rules</a> and <font color=yellow>SIGN UP!</font>

All you need to do is to CHOOSE FIVE TENNIS PLAYERS!

Everything else will be up to me. <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> <br />Of course you can’t choose a combination which has already been selected by another poster, but there isn’t any limitation about the ranking anymore. <br />You will be allowed to change your picks in each of the 8 legs, you can find the calendar in the rules thread.

Deadline: December 30th

Thank you, good luck! <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Do you need to sign up again if you played last year, or will everyone who played last year automatically enter this year's edition with the players he had?

[Fingon]

Ok, this is my team <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

1) Justine Henin<br />2) Martina Hingis<br />3) Iroda Tulyganova<br />4) Angeles Montolio<br />5) Henrieta Nagyova

[Martian KC]

Most of my players are now in the top ten, should I change them for next season to go with the rules?

[Valda Lake]

I've thoroughly read the rules...here are my picks:

Maleeva<br />Mauresmo<br />Davenport<br />Dokic<br />Tulyaganova

Thanks!! <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

[jacs]

i will join again!

here is my team:

jelena dokic<br />justine henin<br />kim clijsters<br />serena williams <br />venus williams

[Doris Loeffel]

Well before anybody else get this magic combination I'll better post it now <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

Martina Hingis<br />Patty Schnyder<br />Marie-Gaïane Mikaelian<br />Kim Clijsters<br />Lindsay Davenport

That's my first thought. But don't be surprised when I'm going to change my team couse I'm not 100% sure about Kim and Lindsay as I have other players in mind too.

Hmmmm what about the thing with the replacment players. Do I have to decide them now too?? Djon't quite get that rule. But I think it's positive to have a replacement when one of your players is out due to injury.

[arn]

to make sure I have the team I want!

Kim Clijsters<br />Justine Henin<br />Lindsey Davenport<br />Serena Williams<br />Monica Seles

[DoctorG]

Arne,<br />I’m sorry, but I would like everyone to sign up again. I know it may be a little bit annoying but after the board switch I think it’s a good idea to check who’s here and who’s still interested in the game. Just consider Halard-Decugis is still among the chosen players... <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0"> <br />Once you’ve made your picks here for the first tournament, you won’t need to sign up again for the following rounds: if you don’t want to make any changes, your combination will automatically enter the upcoming tournaments. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Cing,<br />all the ranking restrictions have been cancelled, you are allowed to have any combination you’d like to, but you need to post it here before someone steals it. <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

Doris,<br />posters don’t choose the replacements, it will be the luck to decide: before the tournament starts, when I compile the draw, I will assign the spare cards completely by chance. I think it will be interesting to push people to follow the results of other tennis players, it may be the chance to discover some new favourites. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Fingon, Valda, Jacob, Doris, Arne,<br />thank you! <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

The list of the combinations is available in the third post of this thread. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

[DoctorG]

BTW, at this moment one of the spare cards would be Capriati. <img src="eek.gif" border="0">
