Exact same as the French Open except the entry fee has gone up to 20 in an effort to boost the winnings for everyone.
For those of you who may not have entered one of my contests before, here are the rules:
1. This is a bracket contest which starts at the First Round of the Wimbledon. The draw will be released FRIDAY JUNE 17TH, with the first match commencing at 11am local time, MONDAY JUNE 20TH. I will post the draws in the contest threads when they're available.
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.
3. You will receive 10 points for each correct winner of a match. NOT betpoints - POINTS TOWARD YOUR CONTEST SCORE. There will be a 100 point bonus to your score if you correctly pick the two players in the Final and a 50 point bonus if you correctly predict the winner of the Final. If you have chosen the winner of the Final and they are seeded outside of the top 10, you will receive an additional 100 point bonus.
4. In the event of a tie when grading for contest purposes, the first tiebreak will go to the person who picked the highest number of matches correctly, excluding any bonuses. The second tiebreak will consist of the person who picked the most number of dog winners correctly in the first round. Third tiebreak - I give up.
5. Top 5 will be paid including a small prize for the person who finishes last.
The entry fee is 20 POINTS which MUST be paid before the commencement of the first match of Round 1 unless you have made special arrangements with me.
Lou has advised me that Non-Pros can transfer more than 2pts to a PRO. If you have 20pts by the day of the first round, they need to be paid in full. Even if they're hiding out in the sportsbook. If not, you can start paying now at a rate of 2/day in this thread but you need to specify in here if they're for the Men's or Women's contest.
If you start to pay for the entry fee and stop at ANY POINT throughout the contest, your entry is forfeited and your pts will be contributed to the prize pool.
I will create contest threads once the draws are released. If any Pro's want to pay sooner as well, feel free to do it in here but again let me know which contest you're entering, unless you give me 40 for both.
