Check the Rules
The nitty gritty rules stuff.
You get 5 points for each correct pick, plus you can earn bonus points.
+1 point for picking a winning unseeded player
+1 point if an unseeded player beats a seeded player, or a seeded player beats a better seed.
+1 point for guessing a winner and the correct number of sets. No sets bonus for walkovers, or retirements unless more than 1 set played for women and more than 2 sets for men.
Double points will be awarded in the Finals.
A losing pick earns 1 consolation point if the match is a nail biter (i.e. 5 sets for men, 3 sets for women).
If you forget to make a pick, you will be randomly assigned a Lucky Dip selected from all remaining players. Lucky Dip picks do not qualify for bonus points!!!
The Winner is the punter who scores the most points overall and will receive a genuine US Open Players Towel and be crowned the Big Apple Picker.
The top points scorer in each of the men's and women's draws will also win US Open gear. A lucky draw prize will go to a random punter who has made a pick in all rounds. Limit one prize per punter. Prize winners must be resident in NZ.
