Mutua Madrid Open
*tipping doubles*
![]()
Welcome to this experimental thread where we'll give tipping doubles a try for the first time in 2012. Further down are the rules which are very similar to those of tipping singles but still, go throught them:
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...
Ivanovic/Li vs. V. Williams/Pironkova
Kvitova/Wozniacki vs. Barthel/Goerges
This is how you would tip...
Ivanovic/Li
Barthel/Goerges
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 scheduled 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.
HOW TO SOLVE TIES
1. Team where both players guessed the winner.
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.
Cobined 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
