I'll start with this one. Year-round is a tough haul with schedules and all. I'm going to try and hold a few per month and see how it goes. Will lay out a format either tomorrow or Wednesday.

ATP BRISBANE CONTEST FORMAT

*ENTRY FEE IS 10 BetPoints. Pros can pay it all at once, Non-pros pay two per day until fee is paid.
Failure to pay your fee by the end of the Final will result in your entry being VOID and you will not be eligible for any payouts.

*Each ENTRY must pick a roster of FOUR players for the tournament.
You must pick two SEEDED players, one from those seeded 1-4 and one from those seeded 5-8 + two UNSEEDED players.

*Each ENTRY should also name one of their four players as their CAPTAIN for the tournament
The CAPTAIN earns double the points, but also loses double the points

POINT STRUCTURE
Match Wins = +10 points for SEEDED, +20 for UNSEEDED
Match Losses = -5 for UNSEEDED, -10 for SEEDED
Make Semifinals = +25 for SEEDED, +50 for UNSEEDED
Make Finals = +50 for SEEDED, +100 for UNSEEDED
Tournament Champion = +150 for SEEDED, +300 for UNSEEDED

*As a tie breaker, each ENTRY must select a total for the # of games to be played in the Title Match WHEN YOU SEND YOUR ORIGINAL ENTRY. The player closes to the # without going OVER wins the tie break in the event of a tie between ENTRIES. If both players are even after the tie break, the points payout will be split between the two ENTRIES tied for a certain position.

*The PAYOUT POOL will be announced once all entries are received. Entries should be sent via PM only to EaglesPhan36. If you do not have the ability to PM, please send your ENTRY to eaglesphan_36@yahoo.com

ENTRIES ARE DUE BEFORE THE 1st MATCH BEGINS. THAT IS TENTATIVELY SET FOR SUNDAY, JANUARY 4th. WILL TRY TO POST STARTING TIME WHEN IT IS AVAILABLE.

Will post the draw when it is available or visit http://www.atpworldtour.com/Tennis/T.../Brisbane.aspx to keep track of when it is posted.

[EaglesPhan36]

If you have any questions, post them here. Others may have the same question, so this way I can answer everything here.

[EaglesPhan36]

Bumping so everyone can see the format again and the draw is now posted. Final qualifiers will be decided today, so it should be a complete draw by Sunday.

http://www.atpworldtour.com/share/event-draws.aspx?year=2015&eventid=339&draw=ms

[EaglesPhan36]

So qualifying play isn't over before the main draw starts today, so go with the draw as is - if you want to take a qualifier based on who they are playing or something - just make sure you ID who you are selecting by saying "Qualifer vs. Millman" or something along those lines.

1st main draw match is set for 9:30pm ET TONIGHT, so ALL ENTRIES must be in by that time to be eligible.

[EaglesPhan36]

Here is my entry for fairness' sake.

Raonic (C), Dolgopolov, Tomic, Hewitt
Total # of Games Champonship Match: 30

[juanquintero]

Can I still join?

[juanquintero]

you should pick from 1-4 and 5-8 and you pick n2 and 3?

[EaglesPhan36]

Yes send your entry to me in a PM. You should pick two seeded players, one seeded 1-4 and the other from 5-8 and then two unseeded players.

[juanquintero]

[EaglesPhan36]

Thanks for pointing that out. Fixed it. Reminder that you've still got a few hours to get entries in to me. Only a few have entered so far.

[juanquintero]

I need to send my team to you by PM or reply here?
