Tennis is back and the first grand slam will commence in less than 10 days in Melbourne. As in previous Grand Slams, I will be running a pool open to all stackers.

RulesRules

  • No buy in, anyone can participate.
  • From 1st round to the 3rd round, there will be 8 matches each round, where stackers must pick a winner and number of sets that each match will last.
  • From 4th round onwards, stackers must pick a winner for every match and number of sets played.
  • Points will be awarded as it follows:
     1. First round: 1 point per winner and 2 points for sets. 
     2. Second round: 2 points per winner and 4 points for sets
     3. Third round: 3 points per winner and 6 points for sets
     4. Fourth round: 4 points per winner and 8 points for sets. 
     5. Quarterfinals: 5 points per winner and 10 points for sets
     6. Semifinals: 6 points per winner and 12 points for sets. 
     7. Final: 10 points per winner and 24 points for sets. 
  • Prize will be 5k sats for only one lucky stacker.

Hope you join the pool!

I must have annoyed someone here as the post has been downzapped with 100 sats. Not really sure why someone did it though I will continue to run the pool and the other football pools.

When’s this start

Once the schedule is published on Thursday, I will post the first round matchups.

Awesome! I think I can probably solve tennis too.

Let us know when you've solved the mystery of tennis's scoring system

I'm thinking the first approximation should be that the favorite always wins in 4, but it might be actually 3.

As a reference, in the US Open Pool, out of 15 matches there were 10 match ups that required 3 sets and 5 that required 4 sets. None of them went to 5 sets. Will it be the same in Australia?

Hahaha I was not expecting less from you! I am ready for the fight!!
