USO '09 Suicide Pool Reminder

Hey there,

This is just a reminder that the US Open Suicide Pool is on at TAT.  If you have played it before you ought to know what to do. You can go here to play. You should find the instructions and the thread for the first day (after the OOP is announced) at that link. If you don't know how to play the Suicide Pool, read on.

The basic idea of the suicide pool (SP) is to pick for each day of the tournament (in this case the US Open) one player from the OOP who, you think, is going to win his match. If he/she wins his/her match you get to pick a fresh player from the next day's OOP. The end goal, of course, is to progress to the final and pick the eventual winner.  There is a catch, in that you can only pick a player once for the entire tournament (so, for instance,  you obviously want to save  Ernests Gulbis for a later round)

There are separate games for the ATP and WTA draws for the open and you can play either or both of them.

Additional rules:

You have to be a registered member of TAT. Which you can become by registering through the readily available Register button.

We will be keeping track of the fortunes of the Twibe at the Suicide Pool. If you want to your name to be tracked, please indicate this with the text TW in your first day's (and only your first day's) pick.  Example pick below:

*

Thomaz Belluci

There will be a fresh thread open (for pick posting) at TAT for every day of the tournament. And also a thread which tracks updated results.

You have to get your picks for each day, before play starts for the day.

Hope you all play.
