1. This is a bracket contest which starts at the First Round of the FRENCH OPEN. Entries need to be submitted to me via PM no later than 11am local time on SUNDAY MAY 26th. (That's 5am Sunday May 26th in New York).
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. I suggest using one of the free bracket sites to make your picks. I use the Tennis Channel's software. If you go over to their site and use their software too, you can just copy and paste your entry into the format I'll supply below. *For the Australian Open, the TC software was all screwed up so if anyone notices any problems this time please post in this thread and PM me so everyone's aware of it. Thanks!
