How To Play[/u]
1. Pick your 8 QFists true to the draw and rank them C,F,SF,SF,QF,QF,QF,QF
2. Regardless of a player's result, he's only credited according to your pick for that player.
For example, assume you pick Agassi to reach the QF but he advances to the F. In this
example, Agassi will only be credited for reaching the QF (see scoring below).

F - 140 pts
SF - 90 pts
QF - 50 pts
4R - 30 pts
3R - 15 pts
2R - 7 pts
Main Entry - 1 pts
Referring to the example above, Agassi receives 50 pts.
