606v2 World Tour 2012!
606v2 World Tour 2012!
I thought it’d be fun to organise an ”official” competition during 2012 where 606v2 members give their predictions for Grand Slam- and Masters 1000 events. Obviously we’re all experts here, but it would be interesting to see who is actually the most knowledgeable expert
The concept is as follows:
Predictions to be submitted on 606v2 (for each event I will open a thread) latest by 22:00 GMT on the Saturday before each tournament starts (deadline reminders will be posted). So you have time to study the draws!
A YTD "world ranking" will be maintained and published by prostaff85 after each event.
No prize money, we play for the honour of being a true expert!
Below is an example of the type of table I will publish after each Grand Slam and Masters 1000 event of 2012.
Would be great if many of you participate on the "606v2 World Tour"!
(ATP points earned by top 10 players in Grand Slam- and Masters 1000 events in 2011)

The concept is as follows:
- Predict the quarter-, semi- and finalists plus the winner of Grand Slam and Masters 1000 events in 2012
- For each Grand Slam quarter-finalist: 10 points (8x 10 = 80 points maximum)
- For each Grand Slam semi-finalist: 90 points (4x 90 = 360 points maximum)
- For each Grand Slam finalist: 380 points (2x 380 = 760 points maximum)
- For a Grand Slam winner: 800 points
- So a perfectly predicted Grand Slam gives you 2000 points!
- For Masters 1000 tournaments: same logic but only half the points of a Grand Slam

Yes but you were wrong 3 years out of 4!
I predicted Nole's year in September 2010.

Can you clarify though will I still get the points if my prediction comes in and others deem that it is not deserved as the other player were not really trying.

Good point! I guess if we need to wait for consensus whether certain results should be devalued, I will never be able to publish the rankings! Let's take all results at face value!

Re: 606v2 World Tour 2012!
Just a quick status update: so far we have 10 members that have indicated they'll join the competition. Great!
But usually Grand Slams have 128 participants
In January I'll open a thread where you can post your AO 2012 predictions. Of course you are free to elaborate on your view, or include disclaimers, but the following short format will suffice:
W Djokovic; RU Nadal; losing SFs Federer+Murray; losing QFs Ferrer+Tsonga+Berdych+Fish

Re: 606v2 World Tour 2012!
I might just predict the same results for every tournament - just to see if that is more successful than other people choosing different results.
Plus, it saves time!

Sorry, I jumped to conclusions based on that statement - thought this must be a piece of cake for you!
You don't need to predict results right now, but only shortly before the start of each tournament (deadlines on the Saturday before each event kicks off, @22:00 GMT, so you have time to study the draw).
Would be great if you'd join!

Re: 606v2 World Tour 2012!
Very impressive formating and tabulating from prostaff85
Including all the Masters in with the slam tournaments will be a mighty test of everyones commitment to this competition throughout the year.

Thanks. Unlike on the ATP World Tour, the events are not mandatory. However, skipping events reduces your chances of finishing the year as "world number 1"!

I only do well in the Clay season, yet I want to be #1.

Re: 606v2 World Tour 2012!
Reading through the rules, this is probably one of the best year round competitions I have seen - it only requires a single effort at the start of the tournament rather than say having to come up with something each round as the tournament progresses.
That said I would prefer to enter on an ad hoc, per tournament basis, than commit to the whole year at the present time. Might I suggest you add two additional columns to the competition "table", "number of Grand Slams entered" and "number of Master tournaments entered" or something similar to suggest participation level.

No need to commit for the whole year. However, skipping events means you can earn less points, just like joining the competition only midway through the season.
So you might win some Grand Slams but still miss out on the #1 ranking!

Yes that's a good suggestion. It's actually just like the real ATP rankings where the number of tournaments played is shown!

We have 19 members that have shown interest in the competition so far! Just to be clear: there's actually no need to register in advance, you can participate "on the fly" by submitting your predictions before the deadline for an event.
I don't know how others feel about it, but I think the off-season is way too long now - I can't wait for the new season to start!

Happy New Year to all!
Just pulling this topic to the top for improved visibility. In less than two weeks time I will open a thread for the AO 2012 predictions. Please remember to log on to 606v2 around that time to submit yours before the deadline.

For the spectators, perhaps the gap is too long, but players have wanted longer breaks.

Hey prostaff - would love to join in, great initiative by you.
I am away before the beginning of AO and possibly unlikely to have internet access for at least majority of the time - can I pm you my predictions early next week?
Otherwise, would love to join in for furture tournaments.

Thanks TP! Let's do it so that you PM me your predictions early next week, and I will post these on the 'official' AO predictions thread just before the deadline. However, if you do find internet access during your trip, you can post them yourself in which case I won't use those preliminary predictions you PM'd. This would give you a chance to take a look at the draw first.

Re: 606v2 World Tour 2012!
Im just thinking about this and wondering if it would benefit from its own subsection within tennis?
The reason I mention this, is because there will be a predictions entry thread for each tournament as well as the table thread. (and possibly a results thread)
It will keep it all neat and tidy in one section instead of the threads disappearing off the first page.

Re: 606v2 World Tour 2012!
or maybe we could keep the "current thread" (ie the one of the ongoing tournament) as a sticky, then un-sticky it when the tournament is over (so it can drift away).

Re: 606v2 World Tour 2012!
Thats possible.
Another alternative is to have the table in the op of an article and have all the predictions on that one thread for all competitions.

Re: 606v2 World Tour 2012!
How about if we keep the main thread (this one) as a sticky and let the threads for the individual tournaments "drift away"?
I changed the column titles for the events to hyperlinks, and these will then point to those tournament threads. This way we can easily find and re-read the predictions.
And maybe the thread for the tournament that's about to start or ongoing could be a 2nd sticky.
