    Australian Open contests 2019!!! Men and Women's Singles

    It's hard to believe it's already that time again but here we go!

    For those who have never participated in one of these before:

    There will be a separate contest for the men's and women's singles. This is a bracket contest that will start at the First Round of the Australian Open. The first round starts on Monday January 14 at 11am locally which will still be Sunday night for many of you so make sure you check the time difference. You'll have until the beginning of the first round to send me the link(s) to your bracket for the entire tournament. Keep in mind that you'll be choosing the winner of each match from the first round until the final before the first match goes off so leave yourself some time for deciding your picks.

    We will again be submitting our entries into a private pool over at The Tennis Channel but please remember that you'll need to enter their main contest pool as well if you want to be eligible for their prizes. I'll create the individual contest two weeks before the start of the tournament so keep an eye out for those.
    Entry fee will be 10 points for each contest and the top 10 from each contest will be paid. SBR has generously agreed to sponsor these contests again so you can pay me either in here or in the first post of the individual contest threads once they're made. Non Pros feel free to start transferring me 2 points a day now so you're paid up before it starts.
    Any questions, let me know


    Prize Structure:
    1st place - 2500 Betpoints
    2nd place - 2000 Betpoints
    3rd - 1500
    4th - 1000
    5th - 750
    6th to 10th - 300

    I wish!! More like 2 hours after!

    I always give you guys a big heads up for this one especially because the holidays tend to mess everyone up and then suddenly people complain they've missed out. I've lived and learned my dear jtoler. Now enter and have some fun!!

    It makes me so happy that so many of you love these contests. I've been doing these forever and sometimes worry that you might get bored of them but I really do love it and it's helped me make some cash each Slam finding random matches to bet on! I genuinely can't wait for the Aussie tennis swing

    We should definitely see if Drew can set something up for us! That's such a great idea

    watching Stosur now, she always plays well early in year.

    I would love to be cuddled in bed with Samantha and would choose her over Shari in a close race.
