There are 3 mens 25K grass events over the 4 weeks after Wimbledon. Are you including those?

 mmm. I had actually forgotten about those...but probably for completeness, if I am doing Newport RI, I should do. Is the first one in that week of Newport and then the following two weeks?

Did you have the LTA Calendar handy as I think I forget about those events and they arent on the ITF website - presumably, from your post, it is just men on grass, are the women scheduled at the same time on hardcourt?

Presumably the womens grass "season" ends with Wimbledon?

I was also planning to include the Qualifying Wild Card Play offs in the calculations as well! But not the British Tour events that are taking place in the likes of Felixstowe etc

Thanks Lambda

So, I think that the totality of events is as below:

Men -

Surbiton Challenger;
'S-Hertogenbosch, Stuttgart, Nottingham Challenger;
Queen's Club, Halle, Ilkley Challenger; Aorangi WC Play Offs;
Eastbourne, Mallorca, Roehampton Wimbledon Qualies;
Wimbledon;
Newport R.I, ITF M25 Roehampton;
ITF M25 Nottingham G1;
ITF M25 Nottingham G2;

I think that is right for me - all main draws and qualies (I called out WC Play offs and Wimbledon qualies specifically as they sort of feel like separate events to one big "Wimbledon").

Women -

ITF Surbiton;
Nottingham, 'S-Hertogenbosch;
Berlin, Birmingham, Gaiba, ITF Ilkley, Aorangi WC Play Offs;
Eastbourne, Bad Homborg, Roehamption Wimbledon Qualies;
Wimbledon

so 16 mens "events" and 12 womens "events" main draw and qualies

Mens will obviously cover a few weeks more than the womens.

They are in the mens and womens boards

https://britishtennis.activeboard.com/t68469447/which-british-womens-player-will-win-the-most-grass-court-to/

Thats right , we got 58 people voting in the womens prediction poll, the most ever for a poll, to this date.

Not going to fix what isnt broke, so will post there again, unless anyone objects! It will be May before I do it though !

 Looking ahead to the grass, the womens events this season appear to be exactly the same as last season above; the mens seem to have the it post Wimbledon ITF events slightly changed, with an M25 Nottingham and then just one week in Roehampton on grass. last years third week seems to have disappeared from grass and hardcourts follow. So one event fewer

for the men. 

let me know if I have that wrong! 

The voting polls for the grass court wins prediction game will go up tomorrow - it will be just under two weeks before surbiton starts but it gives people time to consider their vote.

I will include the top 19 players in mens and womens plus an other - Ill take out any obvious known absences eg Emma Rad. Are there any other players we know wont play the grass? Amanda C? Any men?

The prediction game will be which British player you think will win most singles main draw and qualies matches in the events that count towards world rankings - so that would include LTA Wild card play offs as they get you into the main qualies. And for men, it will go through the two post Wimbledon ITF events on grass.

I wont include the UKPL event at Felixstowe in June or any British Tour events such as North Oxford. 

It will be posted in the prediction section this year as that is where it sits most easily and Im less obsessed with voting numbers than I used to be!
