Quick Question...Percy...I don't think you mention this in the rules of the Fantasy League, will it be both ATP and WTA tournaments? Or just one or the other. Also, will it be ALL tournaments, or specific tiers, or specific categories, eg: Masters Series? I know you may not have thought this detailed yet but I am just wondering.

Good question. Yes, it will cover both ATP and WTA tournaments. Of course all of the big tournaments will be included, but I'm not sure about the cut off for what is too minor. It's tough to call for people nobody knows. What do you think?
|

i think the cut off would have to be furture events and all other junior events expect juniors at GS

I say absolutely NO juniors. I would stick with tier 2 events AT THE LEAST on the womens side. As for the men's side I would go all of the Masters and cut-off at the challenger circuit (none of the challenger tournaments included)...obviously you can choose which tournaments to pick when it seems reasonable.

I think we'll shoot for the following:
Women: Grand Slams, Tier I's, and Tier II's.
Men: Grand Slams, All ATP Masters Series, and International Series Gold.
How does that sound for everyone?

There will be a topic for each tournament created a few days before it starts. This is where members will post their pick. You may edit your pick as many times as you want, and can even delete it, as long as it is not after the closing time for predictions of that tournament. There will be another topic or "sticky" having the rankings for each member (how many points they have). Please do not try to cheat, or I will have to remove all of your points. I hope this works out!

So I was thinking about this Fantasy Tennis system, and realizing that it will actually be pretty uneventful even when it starts. There won't even be tournaments every single week, and when there are, you just pick on one day and then wait for a whole week. I guess that's fine if you guys don't mind just waiting. My big concern is, do you think there will be enough tournaments covered? There are between 50 tournaments included, both ATP and WTA combined, over the whole year. Is that enough for everyone?

I think it is. Once the season gets underway the tournaments are pretty thick and fast, the Fantasy Tennis thing will be quite constant! If we can get enough people involved it should be good fun...

We do not have any usergroups at the moment, but for example, the council will be listed at a usergroup. It's just a group of users created by the admin, and they may have certain permissions in different places, but I'm only going to use one (the council).

So just to get this straight : We pick a player in the draw, and we get points for however far they go ???
Also, are you sure you want to do international series gold because there are some weeks with 2 tournaents on that level. (Rotterdam and Memphis same week, Dubai and Acapulco same week)

Yes, if we did not include International Series Gold, there will be very few ATP tournaments, just like if we didn't include Tier II's for the women it would be the same. Maybe I will pick one of them, or maybe we'll do both! And about how it works, yes that's basically it.
