the groups are looking very competitive currently, 18 or 19 votes in each and as we started late-ish last night, they run through to around 9.30 am tomorrow morning. So , plenty could change and several votes no doubt to come in for each group.
Currently 3 have ties for qualification places, again, it is all very tight, so that will shift, but any tie play offs will be during the day tomorrow.
Only 9 players now don't have any votes across the groups, namely:
Just to advise folks, I've taken a decision to close this round of polls slightly earlier tomorrow, between 7.30 am and 8 am as my work plans have shifted.
I wanted to warn in case anyone was dwelling and deciding to come and vote in the morning- I cant imagine anyone is, if they are , they are sadder than me !
So 7.30 am or just afterwards, Tuesday.
Tie break play offs will still go up between 9.30 am and 10, looking like we should have a couple of them, if not 3.
its certainly strong voting, for this early stage as well. I think putting the players in a mixed event works well for voting, those who might vote just one way (men or women) tend to vote here and so it bumps the numbers by a few votes per poll.
Hope it continues through the next couple of rounds.
two groups, Nottingham and Queens Club have ties and will have play offs
232 votes across these 9 polls, great voting and 3 semifinal polls will be posted early evening today.
Edit -I misread Nottingham and originally posted it was a tie, then a late vote came in and threw me, but it was late and doesnt count. Officially a tie between Ann and Kyle and onto a play off
Note everyone, please dont vote late, it wont count and it confuses easily confused organisers!

8 players out of the 54, eventually, failed to get a vote. With 20 players left in (down to 18) after the play offs, 34 have thus departed our events today, but it was good seeing them.

Ann got a late vote in but Kyle still won, although one of his was too late
Ginny got two late votes in, only one of those counted, but she gets through.
Boy that was close - I am keeping an eye like a hawk now and using my clock from my phone (which is 100% accurate) and thus dot on 1.30pm I can call it.
Sorry to Jo fans and sorry to Ann fans, rules are the rules I am afraid...
