For each substack, we roll 2d6, and read them with the lower number first, so roll of 2+4 is read as 24, not 6. From that, we look at the Tournament table. Depending on the roll, we will advance 4 cards to the round of 32, in three steps.

First 0-4 random cards, then 0-4 cards based off surface mastery, and finally 0-4 cards based off their tournament ratings (the lower the letter-number combo, the better, 1-A being best):

For example. that roll of 24 would see no random players go through, two players with surface mastery go through (random draw amongst surface mastery if there are more than that, and random draw from the whole substack if there's less than that) and then the top two players based on tournament rating would go through.


Substack 1-A: Roll of 55:

Well, that's going to be interesting: It's 0 random, 0 from Top players, and all Four based off court mastery.

So, we go through Substack 1-A for all players who have HARD court mastery.

Going through, we find only one card that has HARD court mastery: Lleyton Hewitt, so he's through to the round of 32.

I'm using Google's Pick a number to generate the other 3:

pick a number - Google Search

There are 13 remaining cards, so three rolls, and we have our Round of 32 qualifiers from this substack:

Substack 1-A

Lleyton Hewitt (2-C rated, Qualification: HARD court)
Guillermo Coria (4-A rated, Qualification: Random (Card 9)
Max Mirnyi (6-B rated, Qualification: Random (Card 3)
Amdreas Seppi (6-C rated, Qualification: Random (Card 5)


Noteable Eliminations (Note: This is more like: People I've actually heard of, being a casual tennis fan):

Richard Gasquet (4-A)
Marcos Baghdatis (4-C
Stan Wawrinka (3-C)
John Isner (3-C) (awww: there will be no mega long tournament matches.. good!)
Dominic Thiem (3-B) (the best rated tournament player amongst the eliminations!, if even one pick come out of the top rated players, he would have advanced, but nope!

Fozzie Note: Well, that's going to be a pretty easy draw for Hewitt, he's the best player amongst the four from Substack 1-A remaining
