Ok, so Fill-In-The-Draw is just like it sounds. You have a draw here:

A
vs.
B
C
vs.
D
E
vs.
F
G
vs.
H

Of course it will be much larger than that, but this is an example. So you post your picks like this:
Quarterfinals:
A def. B
C def. D
E def. F
G def. H

Semifinals:
A def. C
E def. G

Finals:
A def. E

Winner:
A

Points will work like normal rankings do.
We will be using the new WTA ranking system for women's tournaments:

We will be using the ATP ranking system for men:

Depending on the tournament that week and prize money and such, we will be according the points that way. The number of correct players you select for that round will contribute to your ranking. For the 07 season, there will be ATP rankings and WTA rankings.

Here are some brief rules which will be posted in every topic for FITD:

- Please post your FULL predicted draw for the tournament with all winners in all matches in all rounds.

- If a player withdraws, you can only replace the player if they are seeded, if they are unseeded, no changes.

- If you are editing your draw, please make a new post, no editing posts please. (please note this rule)

- We're not going to do qualifier points, so just put Q1 def Q2 and no points for that one.

- And when you post your picks, please only do it in the form of "A def. B" not "B lost to A".

- All draws MUST be made before the first ball of the first match has been struck.

PM me if you need some clarification.

*I forgot to point out that we will not be doing FITD for round robin ATP tournaments, as they will make things somewhat complicated. Only round robin for YEC for women and TMC for men.
