Jesus Christ... what the hell happened to Troicki after first 2 rounds?

I haven't looked at many results yet but I have a feeling I'm going to get slaughtered in both contests today. Three Aussies alone sucked me in and lost

nice start!

Feel free not to even grade this mess until like the 5th round.



Everything in this contest relies on getting the final 2 and winner anyway

Monaco got beat

Still waiting on a few clarifications so I'll post those as I receive them. What a disaster TC was this time. Hope which ever brainiac made those changes gets a touch of food poisoning.

did you try making picks on it? I forgot the old site which I used for the US Open to help with the entries into this so I was going through threads this year and saw posts about the tennis channel stuff. So I figured I'd enter that and also be able to get my picks for this. I want them to give me my three hours back. I don't even know if my entries for this were good, because I spent so much time fixing it but who knows if I caught every error. And over there they managed to delete my entry, even after I picked and repicked and saved like a dozen times.

in the end, it was taking so long that I couldn't even break down the later round matchups the way I did last year. No time.

Yeah I was entering picks at like 5am because I knew I'd be busy until after the first round and it kept deleting my picks and sticking other random names in. So I thought it was just from me rushing and being tired. And then I finally got both entries to show confirmation screens but the women's bracket was completely blank when I came on here to post it last night. Took 6hrs to sort out entries and paste them all because of how bad the formatting was coming through from there. Just a mess.

[yisman]

My bracket now has rounds 2 to the end empty with only Djokovic and Murray selected (my finalists). The rest of the slots say 'select your winner'.

I was looking for forums over there. Are they going to issue an apology for this? If you can't even save picks correctly, then don't offer a bracket contest. It's adding insult to injury that after they wasted my time they now basically deleted my entry.

Nah, especially for the men's contest you need to pile up points in the early rounds because we all pick the same guys in the last rounds. Women are trickier but it's all basically the same people at the end too.

My bracket now has rounds 2 to the end empty with only Djokovic and Murray selected (my finalists). The rest of the slots say 'select your winner'.

I was looking for forums over there. Are they going to issue an apology for this? If you can't even save picks correctly, then don't offer a bracket contest. It's adding insult to injury that after they wasted my time they now basically deleted my entry.

I think they just tried to go all glam on a budget. We don't need flags and the 5 last results and whatever else junk they added. It kind of makes sense now why each time I'd flick between the two brackets the number of entrants kept dropping. People were probably having their entries wiped out

Mate I haven't even looked yet. It's 6am here and these contests have just totally thrown things out of whack. Haven't made one bet yet myself but if I find something decent I'll send you a PM.

[beefcake]

Wow, same exact score as the Women for me..Weird

[shari91]

Wow, same exact score as the Women for me..Weird

Great score in both!

Actually looked yours over because I'm used to you coming in at the low end of the scale.

[Boner_18]

Still plenty of tennis here. Gl all.

Did you bet what I sent you? If so we only need DelPo to finish it off so let's hope he just plays properly to give us a winner.

[xpl41n]

what's the tips shari , sound like something good there.

[playersonly69]

Shari,

I actually really liked the last 5 results in the tennis channel's contest. That is how I based alot of my picks actually. For instance, that is why I took Beck to beat Shrvedova in the womens contest and I even took Beck to win the next round as well. It was a real nice touch if you ask me

Shari, can You check my result please. My program gives me 81 points.

P.S. I think the error was on the first round day 1.

Yep I'll check.

Where do you think your error is?

[AKATDOG]

Yep I'll check.



Where do you think your error is?

i think it was round 3, i checked the previous days and they were the same..

[xpl41n]

lol am not even on the list anymore, did i really did that bad?

[shari91]

RealMadrid - I deducted the point. Thanks for being honest!

i think it was round 3, i checked the previous days and they were the same..

Score after Round 1 = 47

Players wrong in Round 2 = Lopez, Monaco, Youzhny, Granollers, Dolgo, Mayer, Bellucci, Haas

Leaves you with 24 out of 32 correct. 24x2 = 48. +47 = 95. Which is where I have you.

Please guys if you think I scored wrong double check before letting me know as this is a total bitch to go back through. Thanks!

[LAURIN]

Hi Shari,
Myself and ep36 got left off the corrected list. Thanks.

[playersonly69]

bigtitywarrior has a big lead at the moment, BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTT he will fall out of the top 5 or top 10 when Federer doesnt win the championship

[shari91]

Hi Shari,
Myself and ep36 got left off the corrected list. Thanks.

Thanks Laurin! Seems the copy and paste job from the previous round went screwy. That's what happens when I try to save the hassle of typing everyone's name out again.

[AKATDOG]

anyone else using tennisbracket.com for there picks? they use the exact same scoring for the first 4 rounds but i have different score there, trying to figure out why.. my picks here and there are exactly the same...
