Just to clarify Lou because in looking at how many selections some people made for the first day, I am wondering if people might be confused or maybe I am confused ...

Minimum 20 picks, Maximum 30 picks .... that's for the whole tournament?

Correct.

30 picks is not a lot, considering the first day had 64 by itself.

I would've preferred a higher cap, to allow me to hit all the value plays.

I think Eagles was asking because some guys had already made about 20 picks on day 1.

SBR Lou · 06-22-09, 12:58 PM

Lovin' the feedback and interest so far.

If we allowed more than 30 picks, I think it would turn into a mess and probably dumb down the quality of picks being made and turn things into a chalk contest. With 30 picks you can still hit chalk but you better be careful because picking one James Blake today would set you back another 4.5 plays.

yeah. A few people, like me, picked a lot of matches and are going to run out quickly.

Lou, a chalk contest? I don't think so. Betting chalk will hurt you. I'd let people take as much chalk as they want. They'll only fall behind more and more.

Dimitrov retired and cheated me out of a win.

So the match doesn't count as one of my picks, right?
