Remember, every choice, whether good or bad, can be deadly...

Suicide New Haven 2008


2007 Final:
Buitenzorg(AUS) def. timray(BEL); Day 06 Invalid Over Day 05 Invalid




1. Each day of play, you must pick 1 winner playing a WTA main draw singles match. (READ: DO NOT PICK A MATCH FROM THE QUALIFYING DRAW!). Of course, the player that you choose, is playing one match scheduled to be played that day (as seen on the order of play).

2. Once you pick someone, you cannot choose them again for the rest of the tournament. So, you don't want to waste a pick on Jelena Jankovic or Serena Williams in the early rounds. Conversely, you don't want to make a pick at all on Daniela Hantuchova. Has-beens are not hot.

3. You must choose one player to win each day. If you forget, are sick, or are unable to reach a computer, it will be treated as a wrong pick, and you will be out of the tournament. As well, your pick must be chosen before the pick's match has commenced, otherwise it will be considered a wrong pick, and thus you will again, be out of the tournament.

4. Only in the case of a walkover, or a withdrawal, each player is allowed to have a back-up pick, selected at the same time as their initial pick. That back-up pick will only be used in the occurence of a walkover or withdrawal, as stated above. Retirements do count as completed matches.


Replacement picks must be identitified like this:

BACK-UP PICK - AGNIESZKA RADWANSKA

If it is not clearly identified, then both picks will be declared invalid.

5. The seeds will be based on the last rankings. The top 8 ranked players to commit will be given a bye and not required to make a pick on Day 01.

6. To sign up, please type the word "In". Variations are more than acceptable. Martina Hingis is DEFINITELY my favourite:hearts:. Your sign up will be confirmed when you post your picks on the first day of main draw play, and so it is not necessarily a "must" to sign in.

7. Please be advised that you may only play ONE Suicide Tennis tournament per week. If you play in multiple tournaments per week, you will be given a score of ZERO for the week to go into your ranking.

8. Once you've post your pick it's final, you CAN'T change them.
So don't edit or delete your post. OR ELSE YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED.

Damnit, missed the sunday start! This sucks, but good luck to the rest!

Damn. I shouldn't be the manager in Suicide New Haven, check out what my ST Bad Gastein turning out :o
updating the list...top 8 will have byes.

In

WTF? Only two main draw matches are scheduled?
Alright, I did not make the cut.

Maybe I am in the top 8?:sad:

I'm in if I can get a bye.

Do I have to get ranking points for this?

believe me i'm from indonesia not from poland......

believe me i'm from indonesia not from poland......

sorry, i am dumb distinguishing the flags.
fixed.

Maybe I am in the top 8?:sad:

erm,nope, sorry:sad:
but if you play forest hills you can get more points definitely...check out the exodus today :haha:

I'm in if I can get a bye.
yes, you are a seed.
poor gov&rena is now #9 :sad:.

:rolls:

Do I have to get ranking points for this?

if you picked Alisa you should get 1 ranking point! :)

erm...what is the html code if i wanna cross out the word...
thank you :)

Andreas, all ppl who sent day 1 pick but out will have 1 points

erm...what is the html code if i wanna cross out the word...
thank you :)Andreas, all ppl who sent day 1 pick but out will have 1 points

without the space

[ s ] word [ / s ]

come on mattek..... :rolls:

But I don't want 1 point. It's a waste of played tournaments :lol:

yayyyyyyyyyyyyy 8th seed so i got a bye:woohoo::woohoo::devil:

Pick of the day DEFINITELY belongs to adrian :worship:

yayyyyyyyyyyyyy 8th seed so i got a bye:woohoo::woohoo::devil:
I have never hosted a ST with seeds player..
but seeded player must be committed to the event in day 1 right?
(so there won't be new ppl higher ranked than u entering the tourny in day 2)

oh, almost forgot..pierce0415 emailed me the pick
day1:kleybanova
bu:mattek

Mattek :devil:

what a mass-suicide :rolleyes:

i saw this coming when i looked at the oop.

DAMN I thought there would be just 2 Players in DAY 2:lol::haha:
Now we are 10:devil:;)

Wow, this always happens at New Haven. So crazy.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA! :haha: Gutted At us in Forest Hill 3 Players :haha:
Lmao Massive Suicide We probaly ger 100 Point plus per person
Seeds+2 Players lucky escape

Seeds shouldnt get a Bye in New Haven Because of The players in New Haven Don't Either

Of course I didn't dare to use Pironkova as my main pick :rolleyes:


Seeds shouldnt get a Bye in New Haven Because of The players in New Haven Don't Either

Chakvetadze, Hantuchova, Bartoli and Szavay do have a bye.

Didnt Notice:p

Day 2.
Pick= P.Schnyder
Backup= M.Cecil

:p

Hilarious. I love those tiny OOPs on first days. :lol:

OMG, what a hilarious day:haha:

DAY 02-

PICK-Srebotnik
BP-Schnyder

Day 2

Pick: Errani

Backup: Schynder

it would make it a lot easier if the matches of the day would be posted
grr

day 2 pick schnyder
back-up wozniacki
p.s.
my pet peeve resumed from last year.
It makes no sense to have byes in this game.
It is totally unfair and adds nothing to the game.

:haha:

Day 2: Srebotnik
Back-up: Errani

Then why not only give top 4 a bye?

Yh :rolleyes:

I am not getting into the bye rule again.

Zauber, if you hate it so much, don't play the game.

Byes are awarded and always have been. It keeps the rankings important and meaningful. Or else this game would be as meaningless as FITD.

And in tiebreak situations, where sets lost determine the winner, it is just as easy for someone without a bye to win.

day2
Schnyder(Errani)

DAY 2: Erani:rocker2:
BU: Razzano:p

Day 2 OOP
Dominika Cibulkova vs Caroline Wozniacki

p2 pennetta beats dulko
p3 mauresmo beats kanepi

Ohwell I was already out :shrug: (on Day 1) just posted a pick since Chris 84 didn't so I might've got a seeding. :)

DAY 3: Dulko:p
BU: Kirilenko

:haha:

Ohwell I was already out :shrug: (on Day 1) just posted a pick since Chris 84 didn't so I might've got a seeding. :)

I wonder if a seed didn't send day 2pick, will the no.9 replace to be the seed. Gotta ask ITZ for that.

day 3 pick kirilenko
back-up pennetta

Day 3 pick: Bartoli
Back-up: Pennetta

day3
Bartoli(Kirilenko)

I wonder if a seed didn't send day 2pick, will the no.9 replace to be the seed. Gotta ask ITZ for that.

Yep. If a seed doesn't post Day 2, he technically did not even play. Like a walkover. The next highest ranked player would get the seed. I PMed GoV&Rena to post a pick and he signed on too late because of time differences. All the matches had started.

Half of the field Left :haha: 5 ppl

Well..gov&Rena can still pick since Pironkova-Bartoli and Szavay-Errani matches haven't started.

Well..gov&Rena can still pick since Pironkova-Bartoli and Szavay-Errani matches haven't started.

No Day 2 yesterday not now;)

No Day 2 yesterday not now;)

Oh i see her cornet-pick is not valid :(
poor gov&Rena :sad:

If bartoli is out..
then the ST title will be the fight between ITZ and aussie_fan...

Day 6 pick: Chakvetadze
Back-up: Cornet

Chaky won and Mauresmo lost..so the title is the fight between FP and deilcatecutter.
two ppl almost identical - but day 5 matters
delicatecutter picked Mauresmo while FP picked Cornet..Mauresmo won in 2 but Cornet won in 3.

So the title goes to delicate cutter and FP is the finalist!!! :woohoo:

Thanks Chrono for running the tournament! :worship:

And congrats to FP and ITZ for such a great competition! :worship:

Congrats. :D

i will never win a title:tape:
Congrats to the winner;)
