    WHACK OUR BALLS: Week of January 10th
    No Entry Fee this week. Eligible tournaments to make your picks from are:

    ATP Auckland
    WTA/ATP Sydney
    WTA Hobart

    The prize pool for this week will be announced in the next day or so. If you have any questions, please PM me. All contest picks for this week should be posted in this thread only.

    Remember, you need to make four picks EACH day this week unless otherwise noted!

    --------------------------------------------

    "WHACK OUR BALLS" RULES & FORMAT

    Each week, you will be required to make a set number of picks per day. Not counting Grand Slams, whenever the ATP/WTA tournaments for the week enter the Round of 16, the contest will start. A post will be made notifying you when you need to make picks. Once the Round of 16 begins, you will need to make four picks each day unless otherwise noted. Of these four picks, ONE per day must be signified as your "Best Bet" by putting "BB" next to it when you post your picks. All picks will be "to win one unit" if betting on a line of -101 or higher and lines of +100 and higher will be "risking one unit.". The Best Bet will be double the bet size.

    Your picks can come from any ATP or WTA match taking place during a given week. No Challenger or ITF matches allowed.

    An entry fee will be set each week in a weekly thread for the contest. Contestants must be paid in full with their fee by the end of the final match of the week to be eligible for the full prizes available. If you are not paid for the week, you will not be eligible to win.

    **Note: There will be separate rules posted during Grand Slam Events.**

    Your picks may only be SPREADS [+/- games] & TOTALS [Over-Under]. NO MONEY LINES.

    Your picks must be made based on lines found at PINNACLE SPORTS only.
    http://www.pinnaclesports.com

    All matches must be complete for wagers to stand. In the event of a retirement, you will be given the opportunity to make up that pick either on the same day or the next.

    When making your selections, your picks must be posted before the scheduled start time for the match you are playing. Any pick posted after a match has begun will result in your picks being DQ'ed for the day. We would suggest that you post all your picks for the day at the same time to avoid running into any problems.

    Picks should be posted in the following format:

    Today's Date
    1. (BB) Montanes -2.5 [-111]
    2. Montanes-Starace Over 22.5 [-102]
    3. Rochus +3.5 [+102]
    4. Rochus-Kamke Over 21.5 [+103]
    You will be responsible for posting the price listed @ Pinnacle Sports when you make your selections. That does mean there will be some variation in the price even among people who may have the same pick. That is part of the fun. Anyone found to be using an obvious BAD price that was not posted at Pinnacle Sports will be DQ'ed from the competition for the week and any points given toward the prize pot will be kept.

    Upon completion of the final day of picks, anyone who has beaten Tevari/EP36 with a better winning percentage/record & the number of units gained for the week will be declared a winner of a percentage of the prize pot. YOU MUST BEAT THEIR SCORE. If you finish with an identical record/win % and the same amount of units, you do not win that week.

    Anyone who does not pick the required amount of selections for the week will not be eligible to win points no matter what your record was. In other words, if you were required to make 20 picks and you made 18, you are not eligible for prizes.

    The prize pool for each week will be announced after all the contestants have been registered for the week and their entry fees paid.

    Also just FYI:

    You may choose any of the plays that EP36/Tevari choose for your plays, but remember - you have to beat our score so copying all four will not get you there.

    EP36/Tevari's January 10th Picks
    1. Azarenka-Bartoli Over 20 [-116]
    2. BB: Stepanek -2.5 [-110]
    3. Rochus +3 [+103]
    4. Benneteau -1.5 [-106]

            How can I convert odds into the correct format? I don't have an account with Pinnacle so can't log in and have them give me different style lines. I see it like this...

                            Just so it's seen. Switched our BB to Stepanek from the total.


                            Remember you can make your picks today up until the start time for whatever match you are picking. Still suggest doing it in advance, but know you do have the option to make your picks that way if you choose. Just make sure you make four for the day because you won't be eligible for the weekly prizes if you don't make your picks each day!

                                  You've got about an hour to go before 1st matches begin for anyone wanting to still get in on this week's contest. Again you can make picks any time before a match is scheduled to begin.

                                            I expected you would both make separate picks and we had to beat both of you.

                                              Nope, it's a combo deal. Trying to beat two separate people would make it difficult to win, yes? This way, people are already ahead of the game since our first BB stunk it up.

                                                      Note, that the list is vertically not based on performance, but when you got your picks in the thread. Pure coincidence that those at the top seemed to do better.

Whomever finishes with the top units won each week IF you beat Tevari & myself will have a free entry into the following week's contest. Just a little bonus for winning.
