    weldone ftl.

    Puts down that Asia are playing against Northern England when they're playing southern England and also thinks he gets to pick the home country and surface.

    So what''s the rule? You automatically pick the first teams choice? A v B means B must pick A's choice and wait till A's picked?

    Cheers. Not registered. Want to hit him up?

    The actual Davis Cup has countries picking the location of the matches on an alternating basis. So if Asia had hosted the last match between the two, then Southern England would pick. If they haven't played for 20 years, then the two teams draw lots to see who picks.

    I'd assumed, given that Mariner selected a location for his tie, and is the "home team" that we were just going with the home teams picking. It could be that he's running it differently, I don't know, it would just be very different to the actual Davis cup.

    Cheers. Mariner's setup seems to suggest we'll be alternating between the Home/Surface picked by each opponent. I'm posting SW choice (will edit once Mariner clarifies if need be), cbf waiting for NSW City to nominate their surface and home.

    Yeah I did brazenly assume it would be set up how I want it to be, which might be an error. :laugh:

    You can be kinder. The first one was a small mistake, much smaller than the mistakes Mariner generally makes.

    What's the rule on surface and home country? Who picks that? Where has Mariner mentioned that rule?

    Yeah I am just waiting for NSW Country to pick their lineup because of home/surface and then I will post Vic's.

    The home team gets to choose the surface/country, if you're away just leave it blank.
    Fucking lol.

    And also just to clarify if you didn't already, player 1 on each team faces of in the singles, as do both the player 2s etc.
     
  15. weldone RM Chowdhuri

    Aby and myself together have actually won a match unlike .. :p
    And he's doing fine in Brasil doubles now.

    Although I agree that was a close call, overall.
     
  16. weldone RM Chowdhuri

    How do we know which team is the home team?
     
  17. Weeman27bob BE Force

    The team that's listed first.
     
  18. Mariner CL Warrington

    It's the one that's geographically closest to me when I sim.
