    Australian Open 2020 - Women's Singles Contest

    Entry fee is 15 POINTS paid to me. The first round starts on Monday January 20th 11:00am LOCALLY. As in Australian Eastern time. Go figure it out or stop crying with your complaints. Aussie Open = Aussie time ffs.

    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.

    Enter here: https://www.tourneytopia.com/Racquet...2/default.aspx

    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 - 10005th - 750
    6th to 10th - 300
    Good luck everyone and if you have any questions let me know!

    good idea

    I did some research yesterday and found some good places to donate, used two thus far. bigger donation to the one for animals. I did see a bunch that delt directly with koalas, but I donated to the one that does all wild life and and also abandoned pets. pets being a closer issue to my heart. (thinking dogs here) I care more about the animals since I hate people, but still donated to a people cause.

    for people that lost their homes

    Sammy you need to be a Pro to be able to send more than 2 points.

    I can send the 15 and 15 points for you if you want to pay me back 2 points at a time.

    but are you in the renewal phase for PRO or going to renew?, because winning the contest won't matter if you aren't a PRO

    rules say nothing about being a PRO vs NON PRO

    I'll talk to Sam about it and hopefully we can get something going. Also if you search for Celeste Barber she's an Aussie who started a fundraiser and it's at close to $40 million already. She's working with the Royal Fire Service and various wildlife organisations to distribute it the best way possible including to services that deal with the PTSD emergency workers and volunteers are already facing. At least that way charities that pay heavy admin and management fees to employees won't soak up all the cash.
    So many Americans have contributed money already and US celebrities have been using their platforms to bring attention to the fundraiser as well. Very very generous and everyone is so grateful for all the help from overseas

    I raised it because I actually sat there and thought about it for a minute... I paid over 10k I think to a fantasy contest because some scrub got banned and people are putting in 10 points here to win up to 2500!!! I've been running the forum equivalent of a soup kitchen here for years I think

    I promise 15 points is as high as it'll go until 2022

    It’s 3:30am here and again I’m on my phone as my bloody internet is down thanks to these fires. Again ffs. But apparently it should be back up and running by 10am so when it is I’ll jump on my laptop and get these threads sorted properly.

    Smoke is so bad here again my son woke up an hour ago to say his eyes were hurting (we’d left his bedroom window open) so best of luck to the players. It’s apparently going to get worse from here until Thursday at least
