Jon you still need to guess at the two who will win through the playoffs - or forfeit a possible two points - and also replace Jamrichova (she may well get one but f she doesn't you could lose out)

Eight entries so far - there were 26 entries in the women's grass cout wins competition, so hoping we can get close to that.

(NB I've noted a sneaky bit of competition technique from that canny Scotsman, Indy......

Oh, ok. I didnt read the rules properly! Ill think again! Why is Jamrichova a different case to Kvitova or Boisson though?

No difference re Jamrichova - but if you replace Boisson and Kvitova you'd need (presumably) to bump someone up from your qualis wildcards - and then you'd lose points if they got a qualis one but not a main draw one

You could just add Katy Dunne to your main draw wildcards, for instance, to fill a spot :)

But, yes, the two quali wildcards predictions are tricky .... (well, it's all tricky but that's even trickier)

the addict · Tennis legend

Yes, it isn't a question whether the named foreign players will or won't get a wildcard. It's more a question of if they DON'T get that wildcard who might get it instead.
And as for bumping up someone from qualies to the main draw, it doesn't matter if you name someone for both - although you can obviously only get one point !

Ok, I get it - I will edit it above.

How do the points work (sorry!) - 1 point for each player who gets a correct wild card place ie 8 plus 9 max (although it could be 6 plus 8 if the overseas players get the ones many of us have suggested?)

Yes, maximum of 17 points - although most people have selected 15 or 16, and are generally agreed on most of the selections.

OK .... so I could put player X in BOTH qualis and main draw?

Didn't realise ...... biggrin

Now that requires different tactics smile

Realised no point in not naming 8 Brits for the MDWC, so edited above TA to take out Kvitova and Boisson (although I think they will get them) and put in 2 other Brits
