Tevari & myself have been working up a competition to try and promote activity in the tennis forum year-round and not just for the drop-ins for the Grand Slam. This is going to be a "Beat The Prick" type of format where your goal will be to top Tevari/EP36's selections for the week.
Rules, Format and Prize Info coming this afternoon. The way we'd like to play this for the non Grand Slams is to start with the Round of 16 for the tournaments in a given week to cut down on the # of matches that will be handicapped and available to pick from. We feel this makes things more interesting for the week and helps you get a feel for the form of the players for a round or two before having to make your picks.
All WTA & ATP tournaments will be available for your picks each week. No Challenger or ITF. Only spreads [+/- games] and totals will be available as selections.
As a service to gain interest for the remainder of the season, this first week's competion which will begin with the Round of 16 matches in Sydney, Hobart and Auckland on Tuesday and will not carry an entry fee.
Going forward from that though we will require a minimal entry fee that will be used for future prize payouts and of course if Tevari & myself are fortunate enough to beat you guys/gals every once in a while ... some points into our SBR accounts for our troubles.
So come on in and try to WHACK OUR BALLS!
