2008 Tournament Calendar
In this thread, you can post your names for possible management of each tournament. Only those who have experience and have shown commitment and prowess will be allowed to run the Tier IIs, Is, and Slams. If you’re new, try out a Tier III or IV. If you succeed, you can run a bigger tournament later in the year.

*Because I want everyone to be aware of this before the offseason officially begins, I have opened this thread. I will most likely not assign managers for some time to allow people to be aware of this unless I am compelled to.

**When running a tournament, check the 2007 Tournament Winners thread for the 2007 results. As well, use the new Suicide banner ( not the old one ). You can find it in the 2007 YEC thread and eventually can quote it from early 2008 Suicide threads.

I would like to do Tokyo, Toray Pan Pacific. And if I could stay in Asia the next week for Beijing that would be great too. :angel:

Does anyone want to do the clay tournaments in February? No one has taken them.

I'll do Vina de Mal, Bogota and Acapulco, however if anyone would like to do them please take them, no problem :)

Added IW/Miami, Amelia and Charleston. If someone wants to do Amelia, they can.

You can begin requesting tournaments up until Roland Garros.

People can run as much tournaments as they like.
If you can run the tournaments and take care of the results, then you can choose the tournaments you like.

Lately I find some mistakes in the results which can be annoying for making the rankings.

It's a game which should be fun of course. But even then I would like it if the rankings are correct.

So go ahead and ask for tournaments!

Can I take Estoril if that's possible?

i'd like to run the next tier III pls..
Fes or Estoril is ok :)

NeeemZ, for Fes, you can create a new thread. I'll have a mod delete/move the old thread from kooki.

Awww :hug: I might volunteer to run a tournament next time I go on holidays. ;) It probably won't be very successful though. :lol: We'll see. :)

I know I put my hand up earlier this year to do the Olympics, but I don't think I'll be able to. I'm sure other people will be chomping at the bit to host it though! Best of luck.

Okay so I have started the Quebec City thread

http://www.tennisforum.com/showthread.php?t=360853

Is anything wrong?

Wonderful. Looks good.

Just in the points distribution, we no longer do the "If 12 players, no one reaches Day 7" thing. So just deleted those pts after the 150.

Okay :D Thanks.

Okay :D Thanks.

I want to be ZACK. :D

Can someone keep an eye on those people who choose late after the matches has started and/or those who edit their picks? I'm bad at doing that. :p

My tourney's ended. :p What now?

YEC and for others end of the season of suicide Tennis :sobbing:

Indeed! But no ITF tournaments in the last weeks?? Might be a good possibility to at least elongate the season with 2/3 weeks!

I don't have to send any info to anyone? :p

Nope. Just post the results in the table and Sjoerd will look and post it. :p
