1. This is a bracket contest which starts at the First Round of WIMBLEDON. Entries need to be submitted to me via PM no later than 11:30 am local time on MONDAY JUNE 24th. (That's 6:30am Monday June 24th in New York).
2. Each person is to PM ME their winners all the way through from the First Round until the Final before the first match commences. I'll post everyone's picks at some point in the day so all of us can follow along. I suggest using one of the free bracket sites to complete your bracket and then just copying and pasting the players' names into the format I supply below. I use the Tennis Channel's software but it's been very dodgy the past 2 Slams so if you have more suggestions of sites to use please post them below.

First Round correct picks receive 1 point(s)
Second Round correct picks receive 2 point(s)
