Arka managed to send the file fifty seconds ago.

But he forgot to add his name to the "Entrant name:" field.

no worries, a couple of people have done that. I've just added the entrant name in for you.

I'll have to find a way to make that more obvious, I only remembered at the last moment myself! I imagine most people were using the "you have ? picks still to make" to check they hadn't missed any matches out, perhaps I should add "but you still haven't told us your name" to that

Anyway, we seem to have more entrants than last time for a lower-profile tournament, so that's cool.

yeah, that'd work. By the way if anyone would prefer their real/username to be used and not the one I've put let me know and I'll change it. (The names being used are the ones I've used in this thread).

And more entrants is great, the more the merrier, and Steven I've long past the point where I'm glad to have the master sheet!

Just got Drew's picks so that's 16 participants now

Montana Doug · Futures qualifying

How do I enter? Sorry...have not been around much.

steven · Tennis legend

Download the entry sheet from http://dialspace.dial.pipex.com/town/terrace/xlw93/2007iw.xls and fill it in very fast - it tells you there where to send it ... or type all your picks in here if you think that will be quicker than downloading (the drawsheet is on the ATP site at http://www.atptennis.com/1/posting/2007/404/mds.pdf), and one of us will enter them for you.

we can give you an extra hour or two to make your picks if need be, Doug. That's as long as you promise not to check the scoreboard

steven · Tennis legend

Yes, just noticed my last post was at 17.58 so Dog would have had to be able to type like Superman.

If you want the entry sheet emailed to you, just pm me your email address.

Bethan, check your emails, you should have something from Anniez

imoen · Admin: Moderator+Tennis Legend

OK. deadline passed (except for Montana Doug who has an extension

)

We have 17 people entered plus Doug making 18. Lots and lots!

I'll post the first table later this evening after a few matches have been played. Good luck to all.

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 ...

I think it's a really great idea ! we could do that or how about this site and the GRMB team up under the name of britishtennis.net to take on the might of andymurray.com to find out who has the best predictors.

We could do this for Miami, say each site has 25 participants (this is just a randomly picked number, could be more or less). I think between the two boards - this and the rusedski one, we'd be able to raise 25 and obviously for andymurray.com they'd have to select their best 25.

Maybe scoring wise, the score for each site could be the accumulated score of each competing member.

What do you think, it'd be fun to take them on !
