    William Hill French Open Contests 2012 - Men's and Women's Singles

    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 French Open. The draw will be released FRIDAY MAY 25TH 11:30AM local time with the first match commencing at 11am local time SUNDAY MAY 27 (Sunday May 27th, 5AM EDT). I will create contest threads with the draws and the format when they're available. This is not a quick contest to enter - although if you use the bracket software I suggest in the contest threads it'll help a lot - so allow yourself some time to figure out your picks.

    2. Each person is to
    PM ME the winners of each match all the way through from the First Round until the Final before the first match commences. To make that clear: You have to figure out the winner of each 1st round match, carry them over to the 2nd round and decide who'll win, and so on. I'll post everyone's picks at some point in the day so all of us can follow along.

    William Hill has generously agreed to sponsor both the ATP and WTA contests. The entry fee is
    10 POINTS which MUST be paid before the commencement of the first match of Round 1.

    Prize-pool for each contest:

    1st. 1,500 SBR FP
    2nd. 1,000 SBR FP
    3rd. 750 SBR FP
    4th. 500 SBR FP
    5th. 350 SBR FP
    6th. 300 SBR FP
    7th. 250 SBR FP
    8th. 200 SBR FP
    9th. 150 SBR FP

    Fine-print
    1. Users who are ineligible to have a WillHill account may enter their SBR username instead.
    2. All users must pay a 10-point entry fee.

    You can sign up and pay for the ATP contest here

    WTA can be found here


    Any questions, let me know!

    Shari will you be using bracket software this tourney??

    I notice tourneys set up like this usually have it where user just clicks the player/team and software does all the work??

    Let me know the changes you have made this year....hopefully its not the same as 4 years ago

    Thanks

    WHERE THE FUKK AM I GETTING SOFTWARE FROM??? MY ASS???

    When I started this contest we entered our picks manually. Now most of us use the bracket software elsewhere to make it a hell of a lot easier so we can just copy and paste.

    We now have William Hill sponsoring both contests and the prizes have gone up massively as a result.

    THERE'S YOUR UPDATES YOU JACKOFF.

    The William Hill thing is good

    Now 11am local time SUNDAY MAY 27 that can be confusing

    I looked at that and thought it was 11 AM my local time

    I would have like 10 Time Zones listed with correct time for each of those Country Zones

    Basically What if scenarios

    If It is 11:00AM in Paris it is ..NY City 5:00AM EST

    Here is the map you nit wit, I look out for the player

    How about you enter first and then we'll talk about making you the Tennis Contest Moderator. Maybe you can get a badge like Opie.

    Its a good contest dont get me wrong

    I just do not like that it is not automated

    I was like 24-2 but never sent in picks because was so hard copy and pasting

    I instead sent in a thesis written by Barry Manilow by mistake because I had another window open and sent that in by mistake

    no, im too cheap, ill sign up on the last day

    its easy, just click the link in the thread, pay the pts with your william hill name. If you don't have a william hill account put in your sbr name, jjgold

    Of course you can't fill out a bracket yet, because the draw is not out. Still plenty of time

    Actually you rooster licker...

    A brilliant poster has created a program. If we can tweak it and make it work before the first match - so dum dums like you understand it - your f'n lazy ass will be good to go.

    I swear to f if this happens you owe him a ton of points or at least stfu.
