[NUFAN]

Day 2 matches have started just now..

What happens to the days when you don't vote in time? Away players, or 0 points?

 

[Matteh]

If a match has started, just don't tip on it but tip the rest. If you miss an entire day - 0 points.

 

[NUFAN]

Cool, about 6 or 7 matches have started. Might mean I move up the table.

 

[Simon]

i really dont think it matters if someone tips 10 minutes late, as the first 10 minutes hardly decides a match unless theres a walkover or something...

Are you watching the Djokovic match? He was leading 5-0 after 14 minutes.

realistically though who was going to tip against Novak? I get your point however. Leave it up to Liam I say, he's running the comp, let him pick the rules...
