    I agree with setting up a group with another name unrelated to sbr...that makes sense to me.

    My Picks are sent in - only took me 49 mins to put together. Tourneytopia would be a good choice. I can't imagine going through everyone's picks. Thanks Shari.

    Its very easy to do this tourney, it took me all of maybe 5 minutes to post an entire tournament of picks in this format. Just cut and paste the original bracket entry like shari said and make your changes . I had my entries for global tennis network bracket open in one window and posted my pm to shari in the other, it took 5 minutes.

    Just do what shari said, you just cut and paste sharis thread from the top, just cut any picks out of the example thread she posted and replace with your own. The example has filled out half your picks for you anyway, half those picks are not going to lose. This tournament took alot less time to enter than the other bracket contests I entered.

    Now unless I did it wrong, this is my pm to shari with my picks for the wta if you want to see one entry looks like. I may have done it wrong but I found it really easy, just cut and paste the original bracket shari posted and type in the picks you have different from the original example.

    That was a mistake which I've fixed in the posts. I'm starting something else tennis wise tomorrow and I confused the dates of the two. Picks are due at the start of the first round as always - I just put the wrong date in.

    15pts for each contest.

    You need to send 2 a day, every day until you're paid up.

    Yeah, I can imagine. Some of them only pop up in qualies or always get knocked out in the first round of small tournaments. A lot of junky matches today too. Nothing that I'm too excited to watch, to be honest.

    Cilic

    Shouldn't have picked him to go so deep. He didn't win a set!

    Cilic busted a lot of brackets, but dont fret, whoever picked him to lose in first round is either a genius or a dart-thrower...strong lean to the latter

    6/15 sent

    This was not a great day to watch tennis, alot of these matches were atrocious.I knew when Cilic lost in Zagreb to Mayer something was wrong, but this is a shocking loss. Tomorrow should be a great day of tennis.

    I cant believe I missed the contest because I had the Monday start date in mind because I read it and we were in New Orleans all weekend.

    You can still submit your entries to me if you like. The matches yesterday didn't really produce any major upsets other than Cilic so I'll void that one out of fairness to everyone else but give you points for all the others you picked right.

    You never quit, do you? Again - you've chosen not to participate in this contest yet you keep trying to be a part of it. IT WAS A MISTAKE. They happen. I was rushing to get the threads up as soon as the draws were released while I was working. I had Monday stuck in my head because I started something else concerning tennis today. I'm sure I'll make more mistakes in the future. Live with it.

    And if you were so onto it, the post was up for 2 days before anyone noticed. For someone who comes into these threads constantly to complain, I'd think you would've noticed sooner than 12hrs before the first match.

    That had nothing to do with you not entering, you just couldn't figure out the simple instructions at the beginning of the thread, Cut and paste the example that was given and submit your picks, it doesnt take long.

    The suicide thread at menstennisforums . com, a great thread, didn't even start officially until today, monday morning. This morning is when the real tennis begins.

    shari would probably let you submit a late bracket, just go on and submit your picks.
