    US Open Contest 2018 - Men's Singles

    Entry fee is 10 POINTS paid to me. The draw is on Friday August 24th and the first round starts on Monday August 27th at 11:00am local time. You'll have until that time to enter 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.

    Entries will only be accepted via the Tennis Channel so that all of us can keep track of where we're at without having to worry about time differences and this will hopefully make scoring more efficient until I can come up with our own software.

    You can now pre-register here https://www.tourneytopia.com/Racquet...-Register.aspx

    I have created a private contest for us but you'll need to separately register for the main contest if you want to be eligible for that one also.

    If you have to use a name different to your username here for whatever reason, please send me a PM so I know who to match up with who!

    As for scoring we'll use the Tennis Channel's to make it as simple as possible


    • First Round correct picks receive 1 point(s)
    • Second Round correct picks receive 2 point(s)
    • Third Round correct picks receive 3 point(s)
    • Fourth Round correct picks receive 5 point(s)
    • Quarterfinals correct picks receive 10 point(s)
    • Semifinals correct picks receive 20 point(s)
    • Finals correct picks receive 30 point(s)



    Finally, the prizes have been generously donated by SBR and again the top 10 will be paid!

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

    Good luck everyone and if you have any questions let me know!

    I think I accidentally submitted twice (same entry). Not sure how to delete entry so if whoever is able to can get rid of the extra one, would be appreciated - obviously didn't intend to do that!

    Seems like multiple people (myself included) entered twice by accident. Hopefully whoever is in charge can delete those additional entries - as noted above, obviously did not intend to do that!

    Did you pay the additional 10 betpoints for the extra entry fee?

    Assuming I did, would that mean I would get double the prize if I were to win anything?

    After all if I were to win anything, since I had two identical entries both would probably win something haha!

    Happens to the best of us! That's why I try to enter almost every contest I can - figure I can't possibly tank in all of them as much as I indirectly might try to!
