please zip it first
Someone's demanding! Seriously though, it's only 124 kB, are you sure you need it zipped? (i.e. some reason other than file size)

xls, doc files etc get blocked via outlook at work !

steven · Tennis legend

That's a good enough reason

- sent

steven · Tennis legend

Now emailed to aria81 and Josh (I'm just doing these updates so people know they should have received the email and can shout if they haven't, and to give Bethan an idea of how many entries she's going to get)

Total so far: 11 emailed + me + at least one downloader

steven · Tennis legend

The downloadable file at http://dialspace.dial.pipex.com/town/terrace/xlw93/2007iw.xls now has the qualifiers placed in the draw.

The other main change, which may catch those of you who have already filled
in the sheet, is that Xavi Malisse has pulled out and notional no. 33 seed
Ollie Rochus has taken his place in the draw. He hasn't moved very far -
he's now seeded to meet Duckboy in R3 instead of being likely to meet him in
R2!

Qualifier Chris Guccione takes Ollie's original place in the draw against
Lopez. The LL, Guillermo Canas, goes into one of the other qualifying
places, playing Jan Hajek for a chance to get mashed by Federer - not quite
such a 'lucky' loser then!

This is the last update I'll do, even if there are any last minute changes in the draw.

Remember to return the sheet to Bethan (her email address is near the top of
the sheet) by 18.00 GMT today, Friday, and good luck

+ Anniez who'd like to enter. I'll pm steven her email addy.

Steven, have drawsheets been sent to all of these ppl ? We want as many entrants as poss.

Big shocks so far are that Akhenaten (AO winner) and RedCabbage (early leader of the daily predictions comp) haven't entered !

They've been sent to all except Drew & Eblunt on your 14= list. You didn't pm me Anniez's email address - did she use the download method in the end?

I've also emailed invisibleman18 but from Bethan's note, it looks like he downloaded in the meantime anyway, which is great.

I suggest anyone else who wants to enter tries the download method first to avoid delays since I'm not going to be around much between now and 5. If the download method doesn't work, I'll check pms at 5 and email anyone else who needs a sheet then. Alternative is to post all the picks on here before 6 as some people used to do - it's simple enough for one of us to transcribe them onto the new sheet.

I advertised the competition on the Rusedski board too, but we have a comp of our own for AMSs so that might have put people off (not that there's any reason not to enter both) and I could adjust the results sheet very easily to create a team competition as well - e.g. split by the board you have most allegiance to (the AMMB v the GRMB v BTZ, maybe? - I realise the AMMB team would be by far the biggest since the comp's on here) or by the player you support the most, e.g. the Murrays v the Rusedskis v the Tiggers v the Boggos - it wouldn't matter if the teams were different sizes as long as they each have a few people in them, because the standing could be based on the average score per team member.

Anyone interested in that? And if so, split by board or players? (I quite like the idea of the boards competing to show which one has the best predictors ) - if a few people say they are, maybe someone could add a poll ...
