Hi guys. I just want to apologise for I guess trying to use your read the round as an idea. We're not going to use your format, and you are right, setting up something like this will take a lot of time. For now, hopefully we can have something small going for predictions

I can't keep up with AM.com. I keep an eye on it and if any topics grab my eye I have a look but I don't read the majority of threads.

I don't think it's so much about idea stealing as the fact you guys don't understand the work involved. You could always just play RTR over here...

its not about stealing ideas its about sharing.... from what i remember RTR came from the atps idea of predicting...

do you remeber when we did that ? took u guys 4hrs on msn to work it out, i left after 2 hours coz i was going out , and we lost in the 1st round lol

i think the idea on AM is to make a game that doesnt have as much work as the one over herer

no you're wrong, that was for a $1million comp for predicting every match before the tournament started


RTR came first actually and it is not at all the same Rochelle....its not even the work that people would have to do....THE FORUM IS NOT SOPHISTICATED ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH IT!!

The first event was TMS Cincinatti which I believe was during the middle of August. Smile

I'm not entirely sure Rochelle because I wasn't a member of staff when RTR was formulated. The idea is the same, but the rules and methods of predicting are totally different. Smile

I think RTR was implemented just to make MW unique and for a bit of friendly competition between users.  cmon yeah

RTR came about after brain storming in the staff forum... this happened before any ATP competition.. before the $1m, before the Fantasy Tennis... If anything... ATP copied us lol

Oh right... may not before that then but I wasn't personally aware of ATP's Fantasy Tennis at the time maybe Think

But MW is nothing like those competitions... the format had to be thought up from scratch.
