2012 French Open

[Feodore_Knox]

We're four days away from the second Grand Slam tournament of the year!
So, without further ado, I'm now launching, once again, the PinoyExchange Fantasy League 2012!


Here are the rules:

1.) Only participants who joined PinoyExchange before December 2011 are eligible to join.

2.) Each participant must create a lineup of eight (8) players:

- four (4) from the Men's Draw; and
- four (4) from the Women's Draw.

3.) The four players from each draw will be selected as follows:

- one player from the Top 8 seeds;
- one player from seeds 9th to 16th;
- one player from seeds 17th to 32nd (or 33rd, 34th, etc., if applicable); and,
- one unseeded player

4.) From among his/her picks, each person will select two players as the Captain's Pick - one for the men's draw, and another for the women's draw.
The Captain's Pick will receive 50% more points than the regular picks.

5.) If a participant picks an incorrect player for a specific category, that slot in the lineup will be nullified and therefore, will get zero points (e.g. he/she picks an unseeded player for the 17th-32th seed category).

6.) In the event that a player withdraws or a change in seeding occurs, a participant must update his/her lineup accordingly if it was affected by the said event.
If a participant fails to make the update before the deadline of the submission of picks, Rule #5 will apply.

7.) A participant's entry will not be accepted if any of the following is committed:

* Violation of Rule #2
* Violation of Rule #4
* Late submission of entry (See Rule #10)

8.) Points will be based on the WTA Ranking System for Grand Slams:

* First Round: 5
* Second Round: 100
* Third Round: 160
* Fourth Round: 280
* Quarterfinals: 500
* Semifinals: 900
* Finals: 1400
* Winner: 2000

9.) The participant who gets the highest number of points by the end of the tournament wins the Fantasy League.
In case of a tie, the participant who submitted or finalized his/her lineup first will be declared as the winner.

10.) Deadline for the submission of picks will be on Sunday, May 27 at 4:00 pm.

11.) Aside from not being accepted, late entries will also not be entered into the official participant scoresheet.

[renz_reggy03]

Subscribing!

Rafa and Serena FTW

Budd, try doing your picks now. The latest rankings on ATP and WTA could make up the Top 32 seeding, excluding the players who have withdrawn from the tournament.

[renz_reggy03]

You look at the men's Top 8 and you can narrow your winner's choice to 3. Then you look the women's Top 16, and anyone from them can win it.

10.) Deadline for the submission of picks will be on Sunday, May 27 at 4:00 pm.
