Pick 'em Contest Indian Wells


No one got the Djokovic/Ferrer result right (pretty sure everyone went for the Fed to take Djoko) so I'm not going to bother posting a table as the only thing that's changed is the % correct - we're all lower.

I will however, post a table as soon as Andy finishes his match as if I wait till morning you won't get it till afternoon (if that makes ANY sense at all you should perhaps worry )

I've updated the detailed table at http://www.xlw93.dial.pipex.com/2007iw.htm after Djoko beat Ferrer in straights to reach the semis. The scores haven't changed because we all picked Fed for that match, but it's given me the chance to add new flags (there are still 5 'Canadians', I've sent them all the same pm) and a second Robot, 'King Kong', whose score is the average score of one million hairy gorillas who all picked completely at random. That should stop any of us finishing last, anyway!

Still all to play for - even Josh, currently in 13= could win if Andy reaches the Final and plays Duckboy or beats Rafa.

As you will be up until very late (early) - including the F1 qualies - then yes it does make sense... anyway, i hope it's worth staying up for.

Detailed results after Andy's stunning win are at http://www.xlw93.dial.pipex.com/2007iw.htm - never have I been happier to have my prediction competition hopes completely stuffed!

Congrats to new leader mkkreuk, who got 3/4 semi-finalists - the missing one is the obvious one.

I had Fed beating Roddick in the final - so only Roddick left for me too.

I think it was metioned when Fed went out that 4 people went for Andy winning the tournament.

I'm not going to go through all the combinations, because it will spoil the fun of seeing the results today and tomorrow, but yes, 4 people (Josh, Johnny, John, Arka, aka the 'heart-ies') predicted Andy to win the tournament. The rest of us predicted that he would go out in the QFs (mainly to Haas) or to Fed in the SFs.


Nobody predicted Djokovic to reach the Final, because we all assumed he'd have gone out to Fed, if not earlier.

In the bottom half, only Alex and Roberta the Robot went for Rafa to reach the Final and end up as runner-up, but 13 of us predicted Duckboy to reach the Final then lose to Fed or Andy.

Oops, I meant to add that I've now put the results on britishtennis.net - though it takes about 50x as long as simply FTPing them to my own site. It's not that it's hard to do, it's just that FTPing only takes about 10 seconds, while freewebs makes everything much more fiddly and, as with the reply/edit pages on this message board, the pages in the site manager take forever to refresh.

The good thing about putting them there is that it means that it no longer has to be me who uploads the page, though I'll continue to do that for the rest of IW in the hope that I'll find more efficient ways of doing it before I pass it on to whoever is doing Miami.

So, the detailed results are now at http://www.britishtennis.net/2007iw.htm and there's a link to them on http://www.britishtennis.net/Competitions.html

Detailed update at http://www.britishtennis.net/2007iw.htm after Rafa's win

If Andy can't beat Nole tonight, it'll mean that Alex has won this competition but Roberta the Robot has trounced the lot of us.

If it seems odd that a robot who started out by assuming the higher-ranked player would win each match can beat all of us despite Fed going out in his first match, it's because we all picked Fed to go a long way (so Roberta doesn't lose out to us there) and the no. 2 and 3 seeds made the other semi, so she he has gained a lot on us there.

There's still hope though - if Andy happens to win the tournament, Roberta will drop quite a few places down the table ... and so will I (but I'll be too happy to care! LOL)

Nobody can get any more points now, so it's congratulations to top human player Alex , runner up mkkreuk and 3rd placed sheddie ... and to Roberta the Robot who (like fellow bots Rafa and Nole LOL) beat the lot of us.

The final detailed results can be found at http://www.britishtennis.net/2007iw.htm - the uploading process is now down to a minute or two, so that's good. I've posted the results assuming the Final has already been played, so the percentages are as bad as they're going to get.

Many thanks to Bethan for doing the updates on here so well.

I hope you all enjoyed it. Any comments on any aspect of the competition (entry process, what you like or don't like about the results page and the results on here, etc) are very welcome, so that I can enhance things for Miami and/or beyond.
