Australian Open 2021 - Men's and Women's Singles Contest

99% of cases for the last 6 months or so have all been traced to overseas travelers.

It's a pain in the ass but with the thing pretty much under control it seems to be the only way to keep it under control. OK for now but can't do it forever.

Unbelievable stat Opti. How are you guys doing with getting a vaccine or is that not needed

Unbelievable stat Opti. How are you guys doing with getting a vaccine or is that not needed

It seems Govt bet on the wrong one, the UK version. And our sole manufacturer has to finish the run of making that before changing to another type. So not that great. But they announced in December no vaccines for general community would start until March so they could assess results elsewhere, so not really sure. Economy and unemployment way better than forecast a year ago when this started so we can cope without it for a bit longer as we are.

Good stuff Opti. It’s sad we didn’t control this thing quicker. I have people at the golf course who have no interest in returning to work as you keep getting extensions on unemployment plus the additional $300 per week. I’m assuming there will be more additions soon

Hoping we get things back to normal and we can travel soon! Would love seeing your cheery face again!

Ok. Sorry I high jacked this thread!

I still can't see a link on the Tennis Channel site for me to create a private contest. I actually don't see anything about 2021 Aus Open at all. If you see it, please send it to me so I can create our contests and open it up to people sooner rather than later.

I'm not gay and I'm not from Philadelphia but if shari says I'll fill out a bracket there

I saw a tweet today that they are working on it and should be up soon. Starts in a few days though so they'll have to get a move on.

Thanks! If they don’t do it soon I’ll just refund everyone as I can’t manually score everyone again. Fingers crossed they get it sorted!

[USCPHILLYGUY]

Shari! My 2 winners Medvedev at +450 & Barty at +600

[ArunSh]

Yeah really hope they get it done, always fun to root for your teams in this!

If not, well won't be the first thing we miss since this pandemic started, disappointing but c'est la vie. Should be fun to follow the tourneys though, contest or not!

i dont' see anything on twitter about the contest, the tournament starts in 2 days u don't just throw something together that soon, i wrote email asking tourny topia and tc , the tennis channel never wrote back but i would say w the answer got from tourny topia doesn't look good


The Racquet Bracket contests are managed by the Tennis Channel and we've reached out to them letting them know there is interest in running the tennis tournaments again - but we haven't heard back from them just yet. We recommend reaching out to them directly at racquetbracket@tennischannel.com to let them know you're interested in seeing the contests continue!

[cincinnatikid513]

[cincinnatikid513]

it looks like on this global tennis network u can create ur own bracket challenge but it says If you run your own bracket challenge, you will be responsible for filling in the bracket, and updating the results.

maybe something look into for other tournaments down the road

took me 30 sec to register, then you edit draw and make picks

[ArunSh]

Any word? Or is it too late even if what ttwarrior1 says works? Shame, was looking forward to it.

Too bad, I would have volunteered to do it manually (lot of work but nice if we have the contest!). But was hoping would work out regular way, even if late. Ahh well, always the other three majors later this year!

When I click that link it says "Whoops something went wrong"

I have no problem with where it's hosted and I'm sure management will back me up on that but scoring it manually is a crapload of work that I genuinely don't have time for. I'm around for the next 8 hrs or so... if anyone finds a viable alternative let me know and we'll slap it up here
