Hey everyone!
I've come across a great fantasy site for tennis - Fantasy Tennis League:
https://fantasytennisleague.com
There's some pretty cool prizes and it looks like a bit of fun.
Getting this in early - this is a very lengthy competition (starts January, ends November).
You pick a squad of 16 with a $100 million salary cap. 8 are on the field, 8 are on the bench. Of the 8 on the field, you pick 1 as captain and they get a 50% point increase. You then choose another 3 players to go into the 'key players' section and their score is increased by 20%. These players can be swapped around/traded after each tournament.
You get 3 trades at the end of each tournament week (72 for the year).
Here's how the scoring works (copy and pasted from site):
Grand Slam winner: 60 bonus points
Grand Slam runner-up: 36 bonus points
ATP Masters 1000 / WTA Premier 5 or Mandatory winner: 40 bonus points
ATP Masters 1000 / WTA Premier 5 or Mandatory runner-up: 24 bonus points
ATP 500 / WTA Premier winner: 20 bonus points
ATP 500 / WTA Premier runner-up: 12 bonus points
ATP 250 / WTA International winner: 10 bonus points
ATP 250 / WTA International runner-up: 6 bonus points
Match points
+ 3 for winning in straight sets
Set points
– 2 for a doughnut loss (i.e. 6-0)
+ 1 for winning 4 games in a set
+ 1 for each set won
+ 1 for a tiebreak win
Game points
+ 0.2 per ace
– 0.2 per double fault
+ 0.2 per first serve return point won
+ 0.1 per second serve return point won
+ 0.5 per break point converted
+ 0.1 per break point saved
Here's a very handy link to the schedule: https://fantasytennisleague.com/calendar
This is my first time doing this, so this won't be taken too seriously and is just in good fun.
