Tipping Doubles #11 ~ Beijing


Beijing, People's Republic of China - September 29 - October 6 (Premier 5)

Teams

You simply sign in for yourself and I'll try to regularly update the entry list so that you can see with whom you can team up. If you already have an agreement with some player for this event, you just both type with whom you're playing as you sign in. You can have a maximum of three different partners during one season.

How to Play

Playing Tipping is very easy. I will post the schedule and then you just tip who you think will win. Both members of a team post, each for him/herself.

e.g If the schedule was...
Hantuchova/Radwanska vs. S.Williams/V.Williams
Kirilenko/Petrova vs. Hlavackova/Hradecka

This is how you would tip...
S.Williams/V.Williams
Kirilenko/Petrova

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.

Breaking ties

If two or more players are tied after all matches, players are ranked according to these rules:

1. Team where both players guessed the winner in the final.
2. Team closer in games guessed by average.
3. Team with the player who posted quickest in the final.
4. Team with the higher score in the semifinals, quarterfinals...until the tie is resolved.

Scoring and Bonus points

First Round = 1 point per correct tip.
Every additional round = one point more than for the previous, per correct tip.
Combined points of team members form a team score for the Race; individual points are used for a 52-week ranking.

Bonus points:

Premier

1st: 160
2nd: 120
3rd/4th: 80
5th-8th: 60 (individuals only)

Rankings

Your best 15 results (individual and pairs) in the past 52 weeks will count towards your ranking. There are no mandatory tournaments.
