What will happen with leetfox score? As he is the only other guy who picked Sharapova for champion (not Serena, as listed on the score update), I must know his real score before deciding to hedge the final.

Woo hoo! Last place!

You better start hedging regardless

[leetfox]

Oops, sorry seems that i have forgotten to copy/paste that part.

These were my picks, i guess that should give me +25 points

S. Williams vs A. Kerber
A. Radwanksa vs S. Errani
N. Li vs V. Azarenka
S. Stosur vs M. Sharapova

If somebody wants to make sure i haven't changed anything, to get more points, here's the link to my bracket (which is impossible to edit)

[leetfox]

And Cookie Monster's right - i really picked Sharapova for the final winner not Serena

His real score is 210 with Sharapova to win. Now that he's provided the link to his picks his score is updated from the first round he missed. Have also corrected Serena to Sharapova. You win if she does.

next time I am going to leave out part of mine and then plug in winners after they win

[EmpireMaker]

I picked some winners in the NBA playoffs, I wonder if I can get them to count in the NBA contest now?

[EmpireMaker]

Every other post this clown (leetfox) makes is regarding him trying to bend rules and hustle points, please look into it Shari, Thanks

[leetfox]

It really amazes me how pathetic can people become over some SBR freeplays

[EmpireMaker]

I'm not winning a freeplay regardless, people need to read and follow the rules instead of whine and try to weasel exceptions all of the time

It's funny how you're the only one who's actually whining here!

It's funny how you're the only one who's actually whining here!

all anyone has to do is look at your post history to see who the whiner is

[shari91]

Congrats to the winners! Thanks Shari for running the contest again

Thanks Noles! And thank you as always for submitting your entry with no fuss and taking part yet again. Love seeing guys return for every Slam. For Wimbledon you and I are going to kick some ass.

[Noles1992]

Yes we are!

[Pinocchio]

[Diesel79]

Thanks for running the contests Shari and congrats to winners. I hope I can win this one day

[shari91]

Both contests combined:

1. Pinocchio: 509
2. Yisman: 507
3. Delpiero: 501

Great measure but not everyone entered both. What are you on about? Did I screw up the scoring somehow?

[shari91]

Thanks for running the contests Shari and congrats to winners. I hope I can win this one day

Thanks lovey! And like Noles thank you for a simple entry with no grief and silly posts. Seriously made a heap of difference especially this time. Grass is our time I think. xo

[Cookie Monster]

Thanks for running the contest, Shari, I know it is a lot of work. I cannot believe SBR still has not an automated script, even though Bet365 is sponsoring the contest. OTOH, due to the extra work required by participants, the number of entries are still low. Had it be click and drool, I guess about 100 would enter.

My suggestions are the same you have heard many times. Decrease a bit the last rounds value, get rid of tiebreaks (simply add both prizes and split). Small tweaks, the contest is really close to perfect and very fun.
