    US Open Contest 2018 - Women's Singles

    Entry fee is 10 POINTS paid to me. The draw is on Friday August 24th and the first round starts on Monday August 27th at 11:00am local time. You'll have until that time to enter your bracket for the entire tournament. 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 so leave yourself some time for deciding your picks.

    Entries will only be accepted via the Tennis Channel so that all of us can keep track of where we're at without having to worry about time differences and this will hopefully make scoring more efficient until I can come up with our own software.

    You can now pre-register here https://www.tourneytopia.com/Racquet...-Register.aspx
    I have created a private contest for us but you'll need to separately register for the main contest if you want to be eligible for that one also. If you have to use a name different to your username here for whatever reason, please send me a PM so I know who to match up with who!

    As for scoring we'll use the Tennis Channel's to make it as simple as possible

    First Round correct picks receive 1 point(s)
    Second Round correct picks receive 2 point(s)
    Third Round correct picks receive 3 point(s)
    Fourth Round correct picks receive 5 point(s)
    Quarterfinals correct picks receive 10 point(s)
    Semifinals correct picks receive 20 point(s)
    Finals correct picks receive 30 point(s)


    Finally, the prizes have been generously donated by SBR and again the top 10 will be paid!
    1st place - 2500 Betpoints
    2nd place - 2000 Betpoints
    3rd - 1500
    4th - 1000
    5th - 750
    6th to 10th - 300

    Good luck everyone and if you have any questions let me know!

    For those going to the Bash if you pre-register for the contest(s) I'll be able to send you a reminder email about entering your picks if you aren't on the forum much this weekend.

    Serena keeps putting out these really cool, pumped up vids that suck me into thinking she's going to win... but in reality it'll probably be some qualie I've never heard of. Better hope of picking Powerball numbers

    draw comes out friday bracket will likely be available to fill out sometime friday, first match monday 11am, would be devastating if those who attend the bash are too busy having fun and forget to fill out their brackets in time

    Kerber is 26-7 on hard this yera but only 1-2 after grass season. With an easy draw she maybe gets to second week with confidence. I will also bet her matches on the over...

    I've deleted the other one. I think these double entries may be appearing when people edit their picks so if any still remain after it closes, I'll just assume the most recent entry is the one the person wants to go with.

    I've gone through and edited out any real names that were showing from the men's contest and on my end it appears they're hidden in the women's one but if there are any still visible let me know and I'll remove them.

    Other than that there's still almost 5 hours to submit picks for those who haven't yet!
