    PBZ Zagreb Indoors Contest
    Going to pick one tournament per week for a contest to try and keep the tennis forum bumping.

    Tournament Bracket
    http://www.atpworldtour.com/posting/2011/2276/mds.pdf

    RULES
    1. Entry fee is 10 points. Entry fee is due by the beginning of the first singles match in the tournament. That is Monday, January 31st at 8:00am ET for this tournament.

    ANY ENTRIES SUBMITTED AFTER THIS DEADLINE OR ENTRIES SUBMITTED WITHOUT PAYING THE ENTRY FEE BY THE DEADLINE WILL BE VOIDED.

    ENTRIES SHOULD BE SUBMITTED VIA PM ONLY TO EAGLESPHAN36.


    2. Here's what you need to to submit for your entry:

    *Select Your Champion: 75 points for a correct pick

    *Select Your Semifinalists: 10 points for each correct pick, 60 bonus points if you pick all four correct.

    *Select The First Seeded Player to Lose: 25 points for a correct pick. Please note that a loss is judged by round, so if two seeded players both go out in the same round then you will receive a percentage of the 25 points based on how many seeds lose.

    EXAMPLE: If two seeds lose in the same round, you get 12.5 points for a correct pick. If three lose in the same round, you would get 8.33 points, etc.


    *Pick one player to be your WOW: Winner of the Week.

    This player will net you points for each win they get in the tournament. For every win they net as a favorite, you will get ten points. For every win they get as a dog, you get 25 points. For a LOSS as a money line favorite over -200, you LOSE 20 points.

    Each day, I will post the lines for the matches courtesy of 5Dimes so you know what the prices wind up being for each match-up.

    So your entry should look like this:

    Champion: Cilic
    Semifinalists: Cilic,Gasquet,Garcia-Lopez,Ljubicic
    1st Seed to Lose: Gasquet
    WOW: Karlovic

    PAYOUTS WILL BE BASED ON THE NUMBER OF ENTRIES AND ANNOUNCED ONCE THE ENTRY DEADLINE HAS PASSED.

    IN THE EVENT OF A TIE, THE TIE BREAKER IS THE # of POINTS ACCUMULATED BY YOUR WOW PLAYER. THE 2ND TIE BREAKER IS CORRECTLY PREDICTING THE CHAMPION. A THIRD TIE BREAKER IF NEEDED WOULD BE THE # OF SEMIFINALISTS PICKED CORRECTLY. IF THE TIE IS NOT BROKEN AFTER ALL THAT, THEN THE POINTS WILL BE SPLIT BETWEEN ENTRANTS TYING FOR A CERTAIN POSITION.

      And if there are any questions, please post them here as I'll be checking in during the day. If you don't have ten points to submit for your entry fee, let me know and I am sure I will work with you to allow you to give the points a day or two late.

      I'll also be donating my Wednesday Trivia points - if I win any - to the prize pot, so wish me luck on Wednesdays. I'll always go for the full amount.

                                Looks like great minds think alike. We all had Granollers out early and indeed, he loses.

                                  he was a big underdog.

                                  I would've liked to enter, but I had no time to devote to this. Monday morning was hectic. Next time, hopefully.

                                                  No WOW points given for Gasquet due to that match being a walkover. Should have stated it before, but going by the sportsbook rule that one set must be complete for a match to count.

                                                            ha1ogen has clinched 1st. The 4 way tie for 2nd breaks down like this: empire & jnic both have Ljubicic as their WOW player, so they have the same number of points from that. Staco had Gasquet who had zero pts. beefcake had Karlovic who lost him 20. So that would eliminate beefcake & Stacocakes based on the 1st tie break. 2nd tie break is correctly predicting the champion which neither did and the 3rd is the number of correct semifinalists, which neither of them had one correct.

                                                            Going to leave it up to you guys - would you like to go head-2-head in the semifinals and final to break the tie or do you want to split the 45 pts? I'd chuck in an extra and make it 23 each. Let me know ASAP what you guys decide and I can come up with a mini competition for the weekend for that if you like.

                                                                  Here's the quick breakdown for the weekend for empiremaker and jnic. For the three matches this weekend, you MUST pick a winner for each based on the MONEY LINE ONLY. Picking a favorite will be "to win one unit" - for example, wagering 2.15 units on Mayer to win 1. Or if you take a dog, it's risking one unit. One unit on Berrer to win 1.78. YOU MUST make one of your three picks your "best bet" in which you will double your risk for that match. If we tie again on units after this, I'm just going to split the points because that seems like destiny if it winds up that way.

                                                                  PLEASE PM YOUR PICKS TO ME. DO NOT POST THEM IN THE CONTEST THREAD. I WILL POST THEM AFTER I RECEIVE THEM.
