    Got this error when I tried to PM you:

    The following errors occurred with your submission

    • EaglesPhan36 has exceeded their stored private messages quota and cannot accept further messages until they clear some space.


    I sent you a games tiebreaker when I initially sent you my list, and I will stick with that.

    I'm the winnah!

    I'd like to thank Mr. Kyrgios for putting us on his back for as long as he did...and Mr. Berdman for doing the same.

    Keep doing these pick ems, EP! I wanna keep my win streak going

    next time perhaps expand the limitation on seeded players.
    maybe to only top 10
    nobody should be able to have both Djoker and Murray
    saying only 1 pick from #1-4 then ppl just load up on 5,6,7,8 etc.

    Always looking at fine tuning, but there are never guarantees on seeds advancing. See Federer. Opening another Survivor Thread in a minute. Check it out.

    For me the best idea was to only play seeded outside the top10. Or only unseeded but that looks really harsh, but that would be really better.

    Bumping for anyone who needs to see the tie break procedure and wants to send me their selection.

    Remember, if someone sends one in and you don't and you tie - they could take your spot.

    --------------
    For any potential tie breaks, everyone who is near the top should do this.

    Pick the total # of games for either the WTA or ATP Final. Your choice.

    In the event of a tie, the person closest to the total without going over is "winner' for that slot. If both go Over, then the closest to the actual total is declared "winner"

    PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR TIE BREAK PICK BEFORE THE START OF THE WTA MATCH AT 3:30 AM ET ON SATURDAY.

    PM ONLY OR EMAIL THESE TO ME.

    EP, a quick glance and your maths is off.

    Using your example of points structure:

    Seeded Players
    R1 Win = 10 pts
    R2 Win = 20 pts
    R3 Win = 30 pts
    R4 Win = 40 pts
    QF Win = 80 pts - x 1 Berdych
    SF Win = 160 pts - x 1 Murray/Djokovic
    F Win = 320 pts - x 1 Murray/Djokovic

    Unseeded Players
    R1 Win = 20 pts
    R2 Win = 40 pts
    R3 Win = 60 pts - x 1 Tomic
    R4 Win = 80 pts
    QF Win = 160 pts
    SF Win = 320 pts
    F Win = 640 pts

    At the end of the tournament, I should be on 620 points.

    How am I on 980?

    Also, I'm tied on 980 with two others.

    Using your points distribution, this is again incorrect. We had identical picks, but they had Kyrgios and Nishikori. I had Berdych and Tomic.

    I lose 20 with Tomic vs. Kyrgios (unseeded round 3 win vs. round 4 win), but I gain 40 points with Berdych vs. Nishikori (seeded round 4 win vs. QF win).

    So I should be on 620, they should be on 600.

    Unless I've missed something, all of it is off.

    Cheers
    JC

    JC1186
    Djokovic - 340
    Berdych - 180
    Raonic R1-R4 --- Murray QF/SF - 100, 240
    Tomic - 120
    980

    You get the pts listed next to the RD for each win. So Djokovic got you 10 for R1, then 20 for R2, etc. You don't just get the total next to the RD for them advancing that far, it's cumulative.

    That should be all correct. Will leave it up for a bit if anyone wants to dispute before I put into SBR to pay the BetPoints free plays.

    SirtySree, just in case, the reason you missed out on the tie for the last spot was because the other two guys sent in tie brekers, which was going to potentially bump some people out as I stated. Just wanted to be clear in case that was a question.

    Thanks for running another contest EP.

    As for not sending in the TB, I'm not worried about betpoints as I cant use them anyways so wanted to give the others the opportunity to get them for proper use.

    Congrats to the winners.

    Just like a free play at a sportsbook. It'll be credited in, but you only get your winnings on a bet made with them - not the original bet amount + winnings like you get with cash.
