Belatedly, time to get this years preditctions contest underway. The rules are almost the same as last year, with only the dates changing:

1. Predict the ranking of the current top 10 GB men's & women's players, and the ranking of 10 of our promising teenagers.

2. Predictions have to be made before Qualifying begins for the Australian Open (9th Jan).

3. The competition ends on the Monday the points from the last GB event of the year are added (which may differ for men & women).

4. The points scored for each prediction will be the difference between the higher of their actual rank and your prediction and the lower of the two, as a percentage of the lower. e.g.

  - You predict a rank of 150 and the actual rank is 200, you score (200-150)/200 = 25%

  - You predict a rank of 200 and the actual rank is 150, you still score 25%, not 33%

  Using percentages means that the larger fluctuations in the ranks of the lower ranked players won't dominate the smaller movements of the better ranked players, so we can include Andy in the game.

5. The winner will be the entrant the lowest average percentage error.

6. If any player fails to play in 18 tournaments(men) or 16 tournaments (women) - e.g. due to injury, retirement or age eligibility rules - the ranking points they score in the tournaments they do play will be increased pro-rata and they will be assigned a ranking equal to the highest ranked player in the ATP rankings with that number of points or fewer. If player finishes unranked, they will be assigned the same ranking as the lowest ranked player. AER shouldn't limit any of the youngsters to fewer than 16 tournaments, but they may well choose to play fewer.

7. Anyone who wants to dispute my selection of teen players had best find their towel (it mostly follows Team Aegon membership)
