WELCOME TO TIPPING US OPEN 2012!
![]()
HOW TO PLAY
Playing Tipping is very easy. I will post the schedule and then you just tip who you think will win. Just type "in" to play (this will make my life easier but if you forgot to post "in" this is not the end of the world).
e.g If the schedule was...
Ivanovic vs Li
V. Williams vs Pironkova
This is how you would tip...
Ivanovic
Pironkova
It is only main draw singles 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 player who guessed the winner.
2. The player who is closest in games guessed.
3. The player who posted the fastest post in the final. If no one posted in the final, points from previous rounds are examined going backwards, until a clear advantage of one player 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:
Grand slam
1st: 200
2nd: 150
3rd/4th: 100
5th-8th: 75
8th-16th: 50
THE RANKINGS
Your best 16 results the past 52 weeks will count towards your ranking. There are no mandarory tournaments.
