606v2 World Tour 2012!

First topic message reminder :

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:

• 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
  

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"!

Apparently the AO draw is 10am on Friday in Australia. Does that mean it'll be 11pm tomorrow night (GMT)?

Hi LF, JHM. Could one of you please put my thread up here (the 2013) instead of this one? Cheers
