US Open Contests 2015 - Men's Singles
Note #1 - If you don't use the contest entry link I've provided, I'm not accepting your entry. I don't want any wonky shonky looking entries that I have to waste my time reformatting. Every Slam there are a few of you who insist on sending me absolute messes of entries and I will not be fixing them up and posting them this time and you'll forfeit your 10 points.
Note #2 - I'll update the Qualies as they're decided - within my time zone - so keep that in mind when deciding whether to wait to see who gets through or just make selections now.
Standard stuff:
Entry fee is TEN POINTS which needs to be paid to me.
1. This is a bracket contest which starts at the First Round of the US OPEN. Entries need to be submitted to me via PM no later than MONDAY AUGUST 31 at 11AM local time.
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. PLEASE USE THIS LINK to fill in your bracket and then just copy and paste the final page with all of your picks and send it to me in a PM before the deadline. I've said it before but I truly do not have the extra time this time around to reformat entries and ask for corrections because people have stuffed them up. Again to save us both a lot of grief -PLEASE USE THIS LINK!!
3. SCORING WILL BE AS FOLLOWS:
First Round correct picks receive 1 point(s)
