              I see something wrong with the bracket software

              When I click a selection I am getting an error code (php.ini not found)

              Also I see a possible glitch where it might be possible to make selections when matches start due to UTC +8 and ACST regional conflicts. UTC +8,9,and 10 can be off due to daylight savings times not built into the software.

                                  can't believe you would root against an aussie and a sure loss in the 1st round lol

                                  When is the 2018 French Open main draw?
                                  This year’s draw will take place today, Thursday May 24, at 7pm in a new venue, the Orangery. That is three days before the main tournaments gets underway,
                                  It is also represents a switch from the usual Friday lunchtime schedule - meaning tomorrow’s qualifiers, including Martin Klizan who beat Novak Djokovic as world No 140 in Barcelona, will know who they are playing to face in the first round proper.
                                  How can I watch it?

                                  Eurosport will have live coverage of the draw, as will the Roland Garros official Facebook page. Alternatively, bookmark this page and come back later for our rolling blog.

                                    The only part that sucks about that is that's 3am Friday morning here so I won't be posting contest threads until at least 10am my time. And Tennis Channel is usually slow at updating the winners of the final round of qualies which means I still have to score everything on my own so we stopped using it a few years ago. So now I'm debating whether to risk using them again or just do it all manually like I used to for a few years when I first started doing this contest. I'll think about it tonight and figure out what's easiest!

                                        I meant for their contest software. So they'll publish the contest and qualie names are usually blank for quite some time but SBR posters have started to send me their entries. Turns into a bit of a mess. Indycash is what we used the last few years I did it but it looks like that site's disappeared and I've spent way too much time trying to create a new one. A computer programmer I most definitely am not

                                                          Barring a disaster it looks like Nadal has a pretty decent path to the Final.

                                                            yup nadal has it easy, i see the draw out and they have blank spaces for the last qualifier matches tommorow but that can't help you fill out the bracket because it doesn't say where the players will go

                                                              Yeah that’s why this always gets a bit tricky with the qualies. If I open the contests now people will just pick an unknown player or a named one and then when the fourth round is finally done it turns into a mishmash of figuring who wanted what person. Fingers crossed by the time they finish we should still have two days or a bit less to complete our brackets.

                                                                looks like the matches tommorow are 4am eastern time or 10 am paris time so hopefully by 2pm you will have the full draw out

It’ll be fine no matter what happens...this same thing with the friggen qualies pops up every time I’ve run the contest but we just get on with it and get our entries in. Can’t wait!!

                                                                      Once the qualifiers are finalised as to who got in to the actual main draw, I’ll make two separate threads... one for the men and one for the women. I’ll list the entire draw and basically you’ll need to PM me your selections from the first round right through to the final. Just like a NCAAB bracket really. Because it’s manual and most people really won’t know each of the 128 players in the first round of each contest, I always say to give yourself at least a half an hour to enter but I take probably 90 minutes to enter both. It seems like a lot of time at first but you find matchups you can bet on that you never would’ve seen or researched without the contest. You’ll see the threads once they’re up. I’ll pin them to the top of PT, etc
