Let's have a tennis challenge for bragging rights?

I'm down boss. Why don't we spend a little time here coming up some sorta format and do it for the Aussie Open?

[SBR Lou]

OK. Time to give you a sch-lacking infront of the tennis posters, since you challenged me publicly on a few occasions.

Just what I need to kick off the new year! Just post any ideas you got for a format here. I'll be thinking about some as well.

Some ideas to chew on.

Rounds 1-3: 10 plays in each round. Your 10 plays can be any combo of men's & women's matches. Use actual prices as they are set. So if you want to play all ten matches with top seeds and risk -5000 on some to win a unit and hope to o 10-0, that would be possible or you could go 9-1 and lose half your units on one pick that gets upset.

Rounds 4-Finals: Pick every match. We agree to submit the picks to a neutral party and have them post the picks, so that neither person could change their picks if they wanted to in order to try and catch-up, etc. I think this is a truer test of skill in making the picks rather than maybe picking an underdog because you need X units to catch-up. It'd be kinda like picking your NCAA bracket. The added hook would be that in picking the matches based on when the 4th round matches are set - the prices would not be known ahead of time.

Just some preliminary ideas to think on.
