Welcome to Pick-A-Winner (PAW), the Predictions game!
This week we're at the final Grand Slam of the year - US Open, Flushing Meadow, New York US.
Playing PAW is simple. Over the course of the tournament choose any
26 matches in the main draw and post who you think will win them. Commitments for the tournament must be in by
21.00hrs CET on Sunday 26th August 2012. Post commitments
here. After this time, there will be a maximum of
5 Wildcards available for late entries.
Some basic guidelines:
- Never edit or delete your posts. If you want to change or cancel a pick, use a new post to state your new pick. A moderator Meelis will monitor this thread for deleted posts.
- Please try to check if a match has started before picking it. If a pick is late it is invalid and you may replace it.
- If a player withdraws before the match, the pick does not count and may be replaced.
- If the player withdraws from the match after one point has been played, the PAW is declared valid and the final result of the match will count.
- Try to number your picks. It makes my job a lot easier. (e.g. PAW1, PAW2 etc)
- Posts should be in a format in which it is clear who you think will be the winner. For example: Player A OVER Player B or Player A DEF Player B and not Player A vs Player B or Player B loses to Player A.
- Finally, please try to use the players’ real names and not their nicknames.
