    No forum sponsorship this time so I figured most wouldn't be interested. If you are I can start a contest thread tomorrow and up the entry fee to make it worthwhile. Doesn't matter to me either way as it's a hella lot of time grading the thing but the option is there.

    It is a pity if Bet365 stopped sponsorship. I guess it is worth about net $200 ($250 on prizes, less token fees). Still, if fees are increased, let's say to 50p or more, I would join. A 40-30-20-10% prize structure would be OK. OTOH, I understand sponsorship pulling off, as there were under 50 net players.

    I want to thank again Shari, for the huge amount of work doing the contest. And Yisman for his script on last tournament.

    Shari did a great job but she made it hard on herself

    All we needed was bracket software

    Tennis channel has it

    Never understood why they didn't just use the sponsor money to enter into something like this where all the work is done by the bracket software. No hand grading needed. There's a site called Tournament Topia that does this with a very minimal cost. Like $20 + 70 cents or something per entry.
