TIPPING #225 - BNP PARIBAS KATOWICE OPEN 2013
International event
New event in 2013
HOW TO PLAY
What is tipping?
Playing Tipping is very easy. The manager will post the Order of Play and then you just tip who you think will win.
We only tip the results of all main draw matches. The QD matches will not be included in the OOP.
For the final match you will also have to guess how many games will be played in the final. This will work as a tiebreaker.
Retirements/walkovers
Every match in which at least 1 point has been played will count as a completed match in Tipping. That means that walkovers do not count.
LL-matches/missing match in the manager's OOP
If a WTA player is replaced by a LL AFTER the OOP has been posted this match will be cancelled, unless there is enough time (-- hours) for tipping players to replace their picks.
The same rule applies if the manager forgets to include on of the matches in the OOP.
Deadline for posting picks
Your picks have to be posted (or sent via PM) before the start of the match. Posts made after the start of a match will not count.
Changing your picks
You're allowed to change your picks before the start of the match. Changes have to be made in a new post without quoting your original post.
Changes made by quoting your original post won't count. Changes made by editing your post will make all of your picks in the edited post invalid.
Tie-breakers
1. The player who guessed the winner.
2. The player who is closest in games guessed.
3. The player who posted the fastest in the final.
4. If no one posted in the final, points from previous rounds are examined going backwards, until a clear advantage of one player is confirmed.
