How to Join:
To play you pick a WTA player, any player, it is completely up to you. Retired, lower-ranked, any WTA Tour Player.
When you have picked your player post her in this topic along with your surface preferences:
You have to rank your four surfaces (Rebound Ace, Clay, Grass, Hard) in order of preference. Please do that too in this topic. How to Play:
To play, there will be a tournament each week and you will send in a set of points to play against the other players. For your first and third sets you will send in a certain amount of points per surface.
This is where your surface preference comes into play.
Surface #1 = 130 points per set
Surface #2 = 120 points per set
Surface #3 = 110 points per set
Surface #4 = 100 points per set
You will arrange these points in any order you like over 13 games, for example:
Set 1: 20-20-10-10-10-10-20-20-1-1-1-1-6
Something like that, you see? You would also do that for Set 3!
However, for set number two surface has no bearing...you will arrange 13 number throughout 13 games, for example:
Set 2: 13-12-11-9-10-4-5-6-7-8-3-2-1
You see? So, your points would end up looking like this:
Set 1: 20-20-10-10-10-10-20-20-1-1-1-1-6 (depending on surface)
Set 2: 13-12-11-9-10-4-5-6-7-8-3-2-1
Set 3: 10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10 (depending on surface)
The higher point in each game wins that game. It takes 6 games to win a set and two sets to win a match, you get the picture! In the event of an equal scoring game, where both players have chosen the same number, we have what is called a "coin-toss" the player whose second name is first alphabetically wins it, then the next time the other player wins that game. And so on...
Example Match:
Serena Williams v Steffi Graf
It is on Grass; Serena has Grass as her number 1 surface so she can use 130 points in sets 1 and 3.
Graf has Grass as her number 2 surface so she can use 120 points in sets 1 and 3:
Serena Set 1: 10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-19-1-10-10 Graf Set 1: 1-20-20-20-10-10-20-19-0-0-0-0-0
Points are to be sent to me via PM by the deadline. This will become more apparent once I get the first tournament thread up and running.
There will also probably be PC Players, depending on how many people sign up...we will probably have a draw of 16 players, so we might need 8 computer players to make up the numbers. I will post more information about this once you guys sign-up! Thanks!
IF ANYONE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING PLEASE ASK!

Thanks for joining! If the others join today and we get a sub-forum I will create a tournament thread soon enough! _________________ Tennis is in the mind...

I was just thinking of having the YEC after the US Open, if you guys really want an indoor season we can have one... _________________ Tennis is in the mind...

I think it would be better with one, but the game looks really good anyway. A YEC would be really good fun.
Another thing, will all the surfaces have the same amount of events that offer the same amount of points?
Yes, for each surface there will be 3/4 warm up events followed by a Grand Slam. I am undecided about an Indoor Season...if enough of you say you would rather have one then I will put one in...it will mean adding to your surface list though, everyone! _________________ Tennis is in the mind...

I see you are using WGTA's point system. It's my favorite on WTAWorld.
Ana Ivanovic
Clay
Hard
Rebound Ace
Grass
Thanks for joining PSALT.
I will be putting the first tournament thread up probably tomorrow; waiting for x.doublea, stevos to join first! _________________ Tennis is in the mind...
not the body.
Also, as this is a new system if some of you want to send some points in now we can have some exhibition matches to practice. Just a thought! Everyone could use the 130 points per set for sets 1 and 3, just so you can work some things out... _________________ Tennis is in the mind...

I hope more people than this are going to sign-up...eek! I know stevos has already said he will play with Maria so that makes a grand total of five!!! x.doublea should sign up so 6 wouldn't be too bad...I have already created 8 PC Players Points and their profile kind of things which I will post tonight or tomorrow! _________________ Tennis is in the mind...

This game can be really successful and can be a great part of the forum, but if our own members don't join, what hope have we for getting other members?
