On our January 13, 2010
FANTASYDRAFTHELP.COM INSIDER
program on SportsTalkNetwork.com, we
hold our fifth annual tennis mock draft.
SUGGESTED LEAGUE GUIDELINES
^ Ideally, a league should be configured using
standard serpentine rules.
^ A league should contain five owners selecting
five players apiece, with each team consisting of two men, two women
and one extra "wild card" pick of either gender.
^ Tournaments utilized are the Masters
events on the men's tour and the Premier events on the women's tour, in
addition to the Grand Slam events. All points for the Grand Slam
events are doubled -- and here is how points are awarded in the standard 10
tournaments on each tour: 3 points for making the quarterfinals, an
additional 5 points for making the semifinals, an additional 7 points for
making the finals and and additional 10 points for winning the tournament.
