The basic concept is simple: predict the quarter-finalists. Do that successfully, and play your captaincy chip right, and you'll win!
You must pick one player from each section of the draw, and hope that they go as far as possible - as well as nominating a men's captain and a women's captain.
(To help you, the players are presented as they are in the draw, so you know who plays who!)
SCORING
Players are split into four categories: Top Seed (a top 8 seed), Minor Seeds (9-32 seeds), Unseeded (self-explanatory) and Bolter (a wildcard or a qualifier).
Unlike previous years, you do not HAVE to pick any qualifier or wildcards - but they will score points more quickly if you do pick a successful one.
Top Seed - 10 points per win
Minor Seed - 15 points per win
Unseeded - 20 points per win
Bolter - 30 points per win
The overall tournament winner also receives a bonus of 20 points.
CAPTAINS
You must select a captain in the men's and the women's draw. Captains will score double points.
