    Wimbledon Contests 2015 - Men and Women's Singles
    There will be a separate contest for the men's and women's singles. This is a bracket contest - think NCAA Basketball - which starts at the First Round of Wimbledon. The draw will be released FRIDAY JUNE 26th and I'll create the individual contest threads at some point that night my time. You'll have until MONDAY JUNE 29th 11AM local time (6AM EDT) in order to PM your selections to me. Keep in mind that you'll be choosing the winner of each match from the first round until the final before the first match goes off Monday morning so leave yourself some time for deciding your picks.

    Entry fee will be 10 points, top 5 from each contest will be paid. Sponsor this time will be SBR so you can pay me either in here or in the first post of the individual contest threads once they're made. Non Pros, feel free to start transferring your 2 a day now if you want.

    Any questions, let me know.

                        I enjoy these contests, nice to see them back after skipping French Open.

                        My issue with the rules is treating the round advancement as a "game bet" instead of a futures bet as it should be. In the current rules, if the opponent withdraws before 1st set is over, the qualifying player gets no points. This is nosense, when entering the contest we do not know who will be the opponent, so it works exactly as a futures bet (Will x player reach 4th round?). Fortunately there are few retirements, so it has never affected final standings.

                        OTOH, thanks a lot for the huge amount of time you volunteer to run the contest. And BTW, it is a shame SBR does not have a bracket software, LOL.

                              Sherry let me know if you're going to revamp this contest by Friday 11 PM Eastern standard time if not I want my points back.

                              I don't have a lot of time to go back-and-forth with you on this topic as I am on an important fishing trip in Florida.

                              I am mobile so can monitor the situation from here

                                              I thought you were the one with the direct line to her around here!

                                                You're starting to sound like you have a tic. For someone who has apparently been here for a very short period of time, you sure are emotionally invested in a random dude on the Internet. Give it a rest before you start frightening people.

                                                    It's a bracket contest like with NCAA basketball. When the draw is released, you'll have to pick the winner of each match starting with the first round all the way through through until the final before the first match is played on Monday. You can start transferring me two points a day now if you want to join.

                                                    Optional darling, can you please send me the page on Skype when you get a chance along with instructions again on how to fill it? xo

                                                      Sherry I might send you an entire bracket screenshot with all my plays

                                                      As a hockey moderator and doing advance prep work for next year I have no time to copy and paste all this data
