You can enter now without knowing who the qualifiers are or wait until Monday morning when the qualifiers have been placed in the draw. The deadline is 2 pm UK time (13.00 GMT) on Monday 13 August.
This is the 6th team pick 'em (and hence the 6th tournament to count towards overall rankings) this year.
For AMS events, the team match is a straight AM.com v BT.net competition (unlike grand slam pick 'ems, which now have any number of teams) - if you played for another board in the Wimby pick 'em, you can choose to play for whichever of the two boards you feel the most allegiance too or play just as an individual and try to improve your overall ranking (see http://www.britishtennis.net/07pickem/rankings.htm) and/or get into the Hall of Fame (see http://www.britishtennis.net/07pickem/hallfame.htm)
N.B. If you played for a different team in the Wimby pick 'em, you will continue to be shown as representing that team on the overall ranking list after this tournament. e.g. GR members in the Wimby pick 'em will continue to be shown as GR on the overall rankings even if they join in with BT.net this time.
Even if you haven't played in any of the earlier pick 'ems, the way the ranking system works means you still have a chance to be high up the list by the end of the year, but for the next week, all of the focus will be on who's going to grab the glory in the Cincy comp - it could be you or your team, or both!
Good luck!
The overall top 10 after Wimby are:
1 up 3 Guy SCO BT 2561 2 dn 1 David Cox (sheddie) ENG BT 2415 3 up 8 Allan SCO AM 2400 4 up 1 Richard Morris (ASE) SCO AM 2360 5 up 12 RobC ENG BT 2324 6 up 10 Xenon21 ENG AM 2282 7 dn 5 goldfish BEL BT 2251 8 up 12 seagull ENG BT 2232 9 up 25 Cdagger NIR AM 2204 10 same RoastLamb CAN AM 2100

I've entered. I also like to point out the fact the flag beside my name in the Hall of Fame for the Aussie Open is an English flag, should be a Scottish one

Entered - thanks for running this again. My picks are a bit different from my ATP bracket picks - I went a little more logically with the ATP one and went more with gut feelings in this pick'em so I figure I have a chance of doing better in at least one of them. ;)
Suddenly realised it was 3.30 am here, i.e. 10.30 pm there, so surely the qualifiers must have been placed by that time, but still no luck. So I went to the Cincy site itself, and lo and behold, the draw that it linked to at ...
http://www.atptennis.com/en/common/TrackIt.asp?file=http://www.atptennis.com/1/posting/2007/422/MDS.pdf (spot the difference!)
... did have the qualkifiers placed, and I gather than they've been there for a few hours.
Anyway, I guess some of you filled in the original sheet and checked who each qualifier was on the draw on the Cincy site, which is fine, but for anyone who has been waiting for the qualifiers to be placed on the pick 'em entry form, they're there now - the entry form is at http://www.britishtennis.net/07pickem/pickemef.htm.
Good luck!
