    Qualifying is still going on, so those slots won't be filled on the draw yet.

    Note for ATL that since Stepanek withdrew as the 5th seed, Querrey technically slots in as a seeded player this week.

    Depends on how many people actually enter. That will be posted after entries are received for Atlanta. Remember, this is a cumulative contest - you gain points each week for each tournament for a final total after Winston-Salem. That is when the winner will be determined.

    Another one

    Going to a nice holiday with wife tonight for a week and wont log in from my notebook. I dont have a nice phone (threw 1 blackberry and 1 LG android to the wall on angry moments so decided to use 15 year-old phones from now on). I will have an hour to hour and a half time period on my own each day while wifey enjoys her coffee and cake/cookies service in the restaurant around 5 P.M. and I will work out. If I dare to log in from hotel computer room I will get busted 100% by degen-police who happens to my wife. Then I will hear 1 hour of torturous speech on how I changed since we marry + will have to deal with an upset face and mood for at least 12 hours + will have to hear on how degen I am to log on to bet in a holiday in 2014 for my entire life whenever we have a fight for whatever the subject is.

    So I wont be able to participate in Atlanta 250 and wont be able send my 2 points daily but want to continue next Monday. Can we work this out?

    Don't you have time to take a dump daily? Sneak away to the bathroom.


    I'm sure you will be okay giving the two points each day whenever you can resume your posting. Winston-Salem ends somewhere around August 23rd, so you'll have plenty of days to give points.

    FYI, according to the Order of Play for Monday it is mostly Qualifying still, but the 1st MAIN DRAW match is set to begin at 4pm ET. So that is when I must have your entry for the Atlanta Tournament for you to be eligible this week.

    For fairness, posting mine in the open so no one complains about it. The rest of you, PM or e-mail yours only.

    DO NOT POST YOUR ENTRIES HERE.

    His spot goes to a TBD qualifier or lucky loser. No one took him yet, but good find.

    so since he was replaced so late the qualifier/LL gets a first round bye I guess

    does he get replaced as a seed? Johnson is the next highest rank

    I don't think they re-slot at this point. For our purposes, we'll say no.

    Seven total entries. Pathetic gentlemen. We had many more who expressed interest, but did not enter. Oh well, it will be what it will be.

    I will leave entry into the contest open through Washington for anyone who missed this week, unless the people who entered this week think that's bunk.

    Only seven? That's disappointing.

    I'm fine with leaving the contest open through Washington.

    Make it 8, just checked my e-mail. So that is a 400 pt. prize pool if we don't get any more for DC next week. Will leave it open though for anyone else to add.

    I think we had ten who expressed interest in the original thread I made. Sure some just missed the start due to other stuff. I know Shari was going to do it, but she probably got busy celebrating that Tomic Title. Australia may have shut down for a couple days for that.

    damn Tomic screwed me.

    I bet him second set and -1.5 sets because I got good lines (like I did with Young today). Of course he wins the first and third but not the second.

    leave it open? we can leave it sure, but where are the entries for this tourn.?

    8 out of 10 is not so bad statistacally speaking...there will always be some who miss out.

    Anyway, how will this "leave it open" work? we will count Atlanta or not?

    Think main problem was that qualifying was so close to the start of the 1st round making almost half the draw uncertain so most ppl couldnt be bothered doing it last minute.

    I know the team I PMed you contained a qualifying spot rather then a players name due to the fact I wouldnt have been able to get an entry in otherwise. =.="

    Also my team would be different if I saw the final draw but had to send in what I could to be eligible to play the contest.

    many of the smaller tournaments do this. The main draw starts before qualifying ends. Qualifying wasn't even over at 4 PM.

    It makes it impossible to bet on because usually you want to know the field before betting on a tournament winner and with these they don't let you do that.

    Also makes bracket contests impossible. Means you're straight guessing on who wins qualifying, you don't even know who's playing.

    My suggestion would be to count points for 3 best tourn's from the 4 available. Means that if someone was not able to post the picks can still participate in other 3 tourns and still be in a winnable position. Also why not include US Open as the grand finale and as a must tourn. with double points for each category and maybe a team of 10 can be considered. Two top seeds (1.-8.), two other seeds and 4 unseeded.

    I will have the entries posted later today. As for qualifying, there's not much you can do about it. It's scheduled when it's scheduled. I don't think it's a big deal like said above, that's probably not a problem outside of this tournament and maybe Winston-Salem. The other tourneys in the series are big business, so qualifying is probably mostly complete by the main draw. I'll monitor. If we need to switch the deadline to enter each week, we will.
