Don't forget you get to do it all over again this week. Same format as last week.
1. FOR EACH TOURNAMENT, BOTH ATP/WTA, CONTESTANTS WILL PICK A WINNER FOR THE TOURNAMENT. LINKS WILL BE PROVIDED FOR THE DRAWS OF EACH WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE.
Scoring: Correctly picking the winner of the tournament will net you 100 points. If your player is unseeded, you get a 75 point bonus.
2. FOR EACH TOURNAMENT, CONTESTANTS WILL ALSO BE ALLOWED TO PICK ONE "DOG CATCHER" FOR THE DURATION OF THE TOURNAMENT.
Scoring: For any match your player wins when priced as an underdog [+101 or better], you will receive 25 points x the price the player was listed at that day. For example, if your player was a +200 dog. You get 25 pts x 2.00 or 50 points for that win.
Realize that if your player is considered a favorite for a tournament, you may not get them ever listed as a plus money play and therefore, will wind up not getting any points from that selection. So if you pick Djokovic, you may not have a chance to gain any points with this selection. Choose wisely.
3. FOR EACH TOURNAMENT, CONTESTANTS WILL PICK A FLAMEOUT SPECIAL. THIS MUST BE A PLAYER WHO IS SEEDED [1-8].
Scoring: You will receive 10 points per every [-100] your player is rated as a favorite for the match they lose. Example: You choose Roger Federer. He is a -400 favorite when he loses. You receive 40 points if he loses that match.
Bonus points will be given based on the round your selection loses in. If they lose in their 1st match, you nail a 100 point bonus. If it's their 2nd match, you net a 50 point bonus. After that, there are no more bonus points. If your player loses to a QUALIFIER, you gain an additional 50 point bonus.
4. FOR EACH TOURNAMENT, CONTESTANTS WILL PICK ONE FIRST ROUND "LOCK." FOR THIS LOCK, YOU MUST PICK ONE MATCH AND THEN LIST THE OUTCOME. BY THIS, YOU MUST PICK WHO WINS, WHO LOSES AND PREDICT A SCORELINE FOR THAT MATCH.
Scoring: Correctly picking the WINNER for your LOCK will net you 25 points. If your WINNER is incorrect on a LOCK, you LOSE 25 points. You will receive 10 points if you predict the correct number of sets your LOCK wins in. If they LOSE, the number of sets does not gain you any points. If you are within +/- three games of the actual number of games played in the match involved your LOCK - regardless of the outcome, you gain a 50 point bonus.

Comment -
No. The 20 point fee covers these as well. This is a cumulative two week contest.Comment -
thanks for running this, also there the tourneys start sunday... so you gotta change the deadline and get the word out quicklyComment -
Ahh shit. They should have put the draws up sooner. Well let's see how many people get these in. If not many, than I'll figure out a revised way to finish this. Deadline looks like 8:00am ET on Sunday or so.Comment -
There are only 2-3 matches for the men's tournaments on Sunday, so I think as long as people do not take obvious advantage when sending in their picks like taking a LOCK on a match already played, etc. then let's set the deadline for MONDAY @ 4:00am ET. So you have all day Sunday to finish getting these in.Comment -
Nice,had family commitments all day yesterday..Ill get em in tonight!
Thanks for the reprieve..Comment -
Bump to remind you guys/gals to get those entries in sometime today.Comment -
I'm going to make this real easy too. Since the Netherlands WTA tournament had the most matches started on Sunday, let's just toss that one out and go with the three English tournaments for this week. So anyone sending in their info today, don't worry about the WTA Netherlands tournament.Comment -
Sounds good...Comment -
Bump - just so no one forgets. I will also have an update Monday after the completion of the title matches for the two England tourneys so our first full week will be complete ... if the rain stays away.Comment -

You talking about the PDFs for the draws? Sometimes I have to save them and then open them after they download. This usually works if you have Firefox.Comment -
Think we're still missing four guys entries. Checked start times tomorrow. Deadline will be 5:00am ET for you to get these in. That is when the first matches are scheduled.Comment -

I'm pretty sure I took Almagro as the winner so there goes that one
Hopefully I'm wrong though and wisely picked someone else.Comment -
OK, it's fixed. There was a setting that was filtering connections through a proxy. That box had to be unchecked.
I also took Almagro to win. I considered taking him as the flameout as well, but backed off.
Regarding the rules, you get the flameout bonus even if the guy loses as an underdog, right? You just wouldn't get the losing as a favorite points.
I was finished in this contest after Federer and Youzhny withdrew, but I'm hanging on to stay out of last.[quote=jjgold;5683305]I win again like usual

[quote=Whippit;7921056]miami won't lose a single eastern conference game through end of season[/quote]Comment -
Yes. You would only be eligible for the bonus points for the Flameout if they lose as a dog.Comment -
Then your answer is no.

2 questions -
1. I thought the flameout had to lose as a favorite
2. I think you jipped me points again. You didnt credit me for Petzchner's win against Berdych (44 points I believe, depending on whether you use the opening or closing line) + Ivanovic lost as a favorite to Hantukova (only if you use the opening line)
Thanks,Comment -
it was a typo. He meant they have to lose as a favorite to a dog.
I wish I had known that.[quote=jjgold;5683305]I win again like usual
