    Wimbledon 2011 contests - mens and womens

    Exact same as the French Open except the entry fee has gone up to 20 in an effort to boost the winnings for everyone.

    For those of you who may not have entered one of my contests before, here are the rules:

    1. This is a bracket contest which starts at the First Round of the Wimbledon. The draw will be released FRIDAY JUNE 17TH, with the first match commencing at 11am local time, MONDAY JUNE 20TH. I will post the draws in the contest threads when they're available.

    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.

    3. You will receive 10 points for each correct winner of a match. NOT betpoints - POINTS TOWARD YOUR CONTEST SCORE. There will be a 100 point bonus to your score if you correctly pick the two players in the Final and a 50 point bonus if you correctly predict the winner of the Final. If you have chosen the winner of the Final and they are seeded outside of the top 10, you will receive an additional 100 point bonus.

    4. In the event of a tie when grading for contest purposes, the first tiebreak will go to the person who picked the highest number of matches correctly, excluding any bonuses. The second tiebreak will consist of the person who picked the most number of dog winners correctly in the first round. Third tiebreak - I give up.

    5. Top 5 will be paid including a small prize for the person who finishes last.

    The entry fee is 20 POINTS which MUST be paid before the commencement of the first match of Round 1 unless you have made special arrangements with me.

    Lou has advised me that Non-Pros can transfer more than 2pts to a PRO. If you have 20pts by the day of the first round, they need to be paid in full. Even if they're hiding out in the sportsbook. If not, you can start paying now at a rate of 2/day in this thread but you need to specify in here if they're for the Men's or Women's contest.

    If you start to pay for the entry fee and stop at ANY POINT throughout the contest, your entry is forfeited and your pts will be contributed to the prize pool.

    I will create contest threads once the draws are released. If any Pro's want to pay sooner as well, feel free to do it in here but again let me know which contest you're entering, unless you give me 40 for both.

    Awwwww yeaaaaah. I'm on vacation in Florida during the College World Series + Wimbledon. Will be giving the lap top a workout on the beach. I expect the extra inhaled sand to fully add to my blockage to pick winners which ultimately means I will win the WTA contest because the less you know, the more you know.

    Good to hear!!

    You guys missed a funny Women's French contest. The upsets killed us all. I ended up winning a prize and I don't think I even had someone in the quarters

    Just because you're pissed off that you received an infraction, don't come troll a completely unrelated contest thread. You're acting like a child now.

    Is it National Troll Week and no one told me?

    1. I've ran contests for the tennis forum 3 times. This will be #4. The format was changed once; people wanted it changed back. I've asked for feedback each time other than this one. Everyone suggested to keep it the same as always. Haven't even been doing this for a year.

    2. Have only been registered with SBR for a little over a year.

    3. Therefore your post is once again complete bullshit. 2yrs = fail. Even 1yr = fail.

    Quit with the trolling. Why don't you run a tennis contest for once? Do something other than just bitch all of the time.

    Every tourney that is set up like tennis should have bracket software
    AKA NCAA Tourney

    You never adjusted, put some effort in and get one done or have sbr write one

    Not my problem. Here's the contest. Either enter it or not. You say the same shit every time yet you don't do anything to change the situation. Merely bitch constantly about a contest you don't even enter. Sad actually - it's almost like you just look for an excuse to post in my contest threads each time.

    Ask SBR to buy bracket software for a tennis contest run only for the Slams. Go for it. We're lucky to get 25 participants each time if that. So make sure you figure that into your little pitch when you're breaking down the cost for them. Plus you'll need to figure out the value of the points they contribute to each contest already.

    Let me know how it works out for you

    Not many enter this contest because it is too much work
    Point and click software of course people will enter
    Put more effort instead of wasting your times on 15 other forums

    Seriously, enough. You've wasted enough of my time and everyone else's who has read the same crap from you 3 times already.

    Sorry for that guys. Hopefully he gets the hint and moves on.

    National troll week I like your mood this morning Shari, I am hoping this to mean things have improved at home .

    Thanks for doing these contests , they are a lot of fun! We all love Joey Jackoff, but any contest he ran would be an absolute fiasco

    OK JJ. I just have a feeling any contest you run may really encounter some hostility on here from posters.

    JJ, Why don't you get a contest going for baseball , this time of the year in gambling is so slow, the period right around the all star game is just dead.

    haha, thanks Greg

    And yes, I'm definitely in a much more upbeat mood than I was the other day. Thankfully my son's doing better from what I can tell. The nurse on call is staying with us again tonight but that's more of a precautionary thing I think. We're going to the Doctor tomorrow so hopefully they have some answers although I'm not holding my breath.

    I am really glad to hear that Shari. From the other past posting thread it sounded like you had a good support system there, you definitely need it.

    I dont know how you have the time to do all this, thanks for finding the time to run this contest. These contests are really a blast during these slow summer months and national troll week

    cheers

    Well, I have to give my son medicine every 2hrs and have been doing it for close to a year now so I think the lack of sleep probably helps me find enough time to get everything done unfortunately

    And I just noticed the points you gave me in the other thread. Thank you. But if you don't mind, I'm going to use some of them for your fees in both contests. I'll feel better about them that way

    I don't mind the contest...it takes a while to enter the picks, but its nice to just watch the tournament unfold and not have to enter picks day by day.
