**StraitShooter** · 01-22-10, 03:28 PM

Not sure..but I think any guy that picks the semifinalist and the winner takes home the bacon

No one has lost a semifinalist yet

the weekend should clear up alot

**StraitShooter** · 01-22-10, 03:29 PM

Hewitt and Baghdatis should be a great match today too

**StraitShooter** · 01-22-10, 03:32 PM

By the way, I should have done this sooner - but the first tie break in case of a tie is overall winning percentage. If it looks like that may not be broken heading into the final, I will likely ask the top competitors left to pick the total number of games as a 2nd tie breaker. The breaker there would go to the person who comes closest to the total number of games played in the final without going over the number.

**beefcake** · 01-22-10, 04:21 PM

Sounds good to me.

**StraitShooter** · 01-22-10, 07:57 PM

good stuff eaglesphan

**beefcake** · 01-22-10, 08:38 PM

Well Youzhny withdrew from the tourney,that Faaking blows for me,My tourney is shot to hell now!!

Dems the breaks I guess...

**Boner_18** · 01-22-10, 08:42 PM

Very easily could be determined by the person who picks the champ.

Oh how the mighty have fallen. And I already have 2 of the next 8 eliminated.

**beefcake** · 01-23-10, 02:27 PM

Cilic all the way..Or I get the BIG BANANA

..F you youzhny and baggy!

**Tom Jane** · 01-23-10, 11:52 PM

13/16 in the fourth, and the 272 is correct. This Del Potro vs. Čilić match could tell the tale for a few of us. Been a solid tourney from a tennis standpoint. As a fan, I wouldn't mind seeing Čilić make an impact, but of course for my bracket, I'm rooting Delpo!

**ji03** · 01-24-10, 12:38 AM

same for me Tom, but Del Potro just took the first set 7-5.

**Boner_18** · 01-24-10, 09:02 AM

Cilic upset gives new life to some... Most notably beefcake who has him to win. Looks like is is anyones game with most of us missing a quarterfinalist or two already...

Tom jane i think you have done a mistake.How can you pick davydenko to be the winner in a match between federer and verdasco?Please check.

**EaglesPhan36** · 01-24-10, 04:53 PM

Already contacted him via PM about this. If he does not reply in this thread, I have the pick as Verdasco over Davydenko tonight and then it's an automatic loss for the next round.

**Boner_18** · 01-24-10, 05:48 PM

Looks like an honest mistake. If he replies before the matches I think let it stand... Clearly if it is after gotta grade a loss... Bummer... Check in Tom!

**iceminers26** · 01-24-10, 07:42 PM

Thanks for the updates Eagles, did you clarify how many places you are paying out, I know you guys were debating between 2 or 3?

Thanks

ICE

**EaglesPhan36** · 01-24-10, 07:43 PM

Sticking with 2. If we had gotten 12 or so players, 3 would have made sense.

**iceminers26** · 01-24-10, 07:57 PM

**Tom Jane** · 01-24-10, 10:10 PM

Bleh, just got on. As I replied in the PM, I meant to pick Verdasco indeed over Davydenko. And as I have Federer winning the whole thing, I certainly picked him over Verdasco. I'm pretty sure matches have started, but don't think the matches in question have started. Sorry for the mistake, guys

Let me know if I logged on bloody too late, ha ha

**EaglesPhan36** · 01-24-10, 10:23 PM

I'll leave it up to the rest of the field if they want to let it stand. The Verdasco-Daydenko match had started, but since you did pick Federer - I am fine with allowing that as your QF pick if no one else has a complaint.

**Boner_18** · 01-24-10, 10:43 PM

Im totally cool with it.

**beefcake** · 01-24-10, 10:46 PM
