606v2 ATP Picking Game: French Open

First topic message reminder :

1 game remaining

How to play:
- Every player has 32 picks. All picks must be used in mens main draw singles matches. The points besides each fixture represent the points you score if that
player wins. If your pick is wrong you LOSE 10 points. Whoever has the most points at the end of the tournament is the winner. To play post your picks on this thread, try to number them. A valid pick must be in the format Player A def/over Player B (Winner First). By the end of the tournament all 32 picks must be used, unused picks will be counted as losses. You are allowed to post picks each day until the match starts, so please check the order of play. All picks posted after play starts are invalid and can be replaced. A pick is void if a match does not take place due to withdrawal or a change in the draw but is valid if at least one point is played (so retirements count). Each player will also be able to place “Djoker Cards” on any FOUR of their 32 picks. If your "Djoker" pick wins you earn double winnings if he loses you will not lose any points. In case of more than one player being tied on the same score, the tiebreak will be number of right picks, if still tied then by 1st highest scoring pick, 2nd highest scoring

No luck for either of us today Silver, now come the finals,you either win it or lose , the ball is on your court, I know you gonna go for Nadal, so I gonna cheer Ferrer.

Odds today.

Wonder if anyone brave will stick it on Ferrer

May not be quite as simple as that IC, if Bogbrush or Lydian pick Ferrer and Silver Nadal, you can't win.

You could use this situation and write a chapter about Game Theory on it.

You really could. It's quite the complex situation, especially with points allocated in the overall tournament for coming 2nd, 3rd and so forth. If Ferrer wins, this picking game gets turned on its head at the final hurdle!

I'm kicking myself I wasted a pick on Federer now. I could have had a guaranteed 3rd.

Anyone actually picking for the final

Silver, Lyd, Bog, Luv, Raf, Laver all have picks left

Anybody [on positive score so far] who picks Ferrer on Djoker wins if Ferrer wins, if not Silver wins hand down.

I lost my chances to win now, but not a bad start for the debut, I am learning this game, will try to do better in Wimbledon.

They all gave up already I guess

They have understood its easy to win this Picking game from this position than Ferrer beating Nadal.

Go on then, target on my back:

32. Nadal d. Ferrer

If Daveed actually does it, anyone who plumps for him thoroughly deserves to win!

Come on Silver u know u won , congrats

I should go Ferrer bt Nadal for the points but just can't do it.

32. Nadal bt Ferrer

Looks like its Hi Ho Silver!

Sorry silver, don't mean to link you to that cheesy Jim Diamond theme song from TV show 'Boon' in the 90s.

Updated, as are the rankings. See you all at Wimbledon.

Well done Silver

Silver

CJB for organising

Thanks IC, CJB, lydian. Very close throughout, though! And don't worry lydian, you're not the first (that would be a certain Rubicon-crossing mod of ours...).

I was like a Djokovic looked like the favourite but tripped of at the right time and no way back after that. Well done Silver.

Very interesting tournament.

well played Ryan, I never thought somebody gonna come closer to me and Silver, in the end it was very marginal between you and me.

Well done, Silver.
