2015 Australian Open SURVIVOR Contest
You may only enter this contest ONCE. Any accounts suspected of being a &Ghost& account for the same user will be turned over to SBR for verification. If it is termed that you are using duplicate accounts to enter this contest, all entries related to those accounts will be VOID and not eligible for the Prize Pool.
Each ENTRY into the Survivor Pool is either for the Men's (ATP) Draw OR the Women's (WTA) draw.
YOU MUST CHOOSE EITHER AN ATP OR WTA ENTRY, NOT BOTH.
It is your choice which one you want to enter based on which one you think you have a better chance at doing well with. The scoring regardless of which side your entry is on will be exactly the same. There is no advantage to entering one or the other, it's simply your choice.
Format
Each entry must pick FOUR players as your SURVIVOR POOL entries to start.
1. You may only pick ONE player from seeds #1-4.
A SEED is the ranking the player has for this tournament. When the draws are available, you will be able to distinguish a SEED by seeing the number that is next to their name. If they do not have a number next to their name, they are UNSEEDED.
2. You MUST pick at least one UNSEEDED player.
3. Your remaining TWO players can be from anywhere else other than the top four seeds.
Your players can also be in any part of the ATP or WTA draw. If you want to choose two players who are in the same section of the draw, that is your choice.
Scoring
Each round, the points value for a match win for your players will increase.
Please note for the purposes of this contest that a &match win& includes any advancement by your player to the next round of the tournament.
POINT VALUES FOR ANY UNSEEDED PLAYER CHOSEN ARE WORTH 2X THE POINTS. THIS OBVIOUSLY MEANS A GREATER REWARD, BUT WITH A HIGHER RISK THAT THEY MAY NOT LAST LONG

If a player goes down with an injury and is out of the tournament or one of your choices loses, that spot in your ENTRY is done. There is no substituion for that spot. The switch is available solely so you can strategize as the tournament goes if you so choose and switch to a different player.
IF YOU CHOOSE A TOP FOUR SEED AS A PLAYER, THEY CANNOT BE SWITCHED AT ANY POINT. ALSO, YOUR UNSEEDED PLAYER IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR A SWITCH.
