    As of now yeah although each night I keep looking for alternatives but so far no luck. If we use the TC site again I'm going to create our own private contest so hopefully people can see our contest scoring straight after they update it and won't be at the mercy of my time zone. I'll still post our standings in here after each round obviously and manually score when I can halfway through each round so fingers crossed this all works

    I can't begin to imagine the amount of routine work you put into manually scoring these contests. You must really enjoy keeping things in order!

    Maybe - if website doesn't produce standings immediately after each round - you should just follow suit and update 'Standings after round 2' after round 3 is underway or completed? I'm sure participants would not mind, as everyone can see how they match up 'against the field' on the tourneytopia website (it reminded me of the way high school test scoring is done... oh I'm in the top 43% of the class... I'm above the average! lol).

    A private tournament on that same website would be great. I really enjoy the March Madness contest, it had 120-150 participants last two years and I thoroughly sucked but looking at the options and having a Rating of Teams to Root For - those are some amazing options. Doing something similar for a Grand Slam tournament should be a hit.

    Aussies are definitely a special breed. Was a big Joe Hachem fan in my high school/college online poker days. Sadly, I'm not lucky enough to have an Australian friend in my life, but I subscribe to the belief that everyone needs one in theirs.

    I met him in Macao a year after he won the Big One. Not met but saw him across the casino room. Looked darker skined and spoke funnier than on TV.

    Just had a bit of a shock when I realised Zvonareva was playing in the qualies. That's a name I haven't thought of in awhile! Hoping she wins her next match in a few hours

    I can believe it... I lost money on that disaster! Friggen Bartoli must be the only pro athlete who spent her career overweight only to slim down to Keith Richards size when she retired.
    I loved Sabine back in the day but now I would never put a dime on her though
