Free ATP Contest - French Open 2010, Win SBR Points!

**playersonly69** · 06-01-10, 04:55 PM

Not only can those guys not win, but they cant finish 3rd either. For instance, SHORTSTOP and MYSELF have absolutely no shot at winning or making the money because other people will beat us

Ryan, you can eliminate at least another 25 posters

I know there are more but if you look at the updates I want to make sure I don't eliminate someone accidentally and then SBR declare them a winner. Would make a person look quite stupid. I only put the ones that I was fully confident with.

**yisman** · 06-01-10, 05:20 PM

let me know if you need help with this or the WTA contest.

**playersonly69** · 06-01-10, 06:22 PM

If they do this tennis contest again, they need to use post review or somone make it where no one else can see others picks

**Ryangene** · 06-01-10, 06:29 PM

People copy and paste junk all the time, if its UFC contest, guess the score contests or even Horse Racing... Has always been this way.

**Unicorn7** · 06-02-10, 11:31 AM

I have read all the atp and wta threads

Ryangene whoever the heck you are your enthusiam is greatly appreciated and I am sure encouraged by most

You are a little off on the scoring system and said some guys were eliminated expecting to see a perfect bracket or something

Playersonly69 you points whore you are the voice of reason. It will basically come down to who ever picks the winner especially if it is not nadal or fed man

great job with the contest though

**Ryangene** · 06-02-10, 01:24 PM

What a huge swing in that Djokovic vs. Melzer Matchup...

Djokovic is tied 4-4 in the 5th set has the advantage, BUT Melzer takes the game!

Melzer breaks him and goes on to win...

Djokovic has a chance to tie it at 5-5 as well as he has the advantage there too,
but Melzer comes back and takes the match there too. Choke by Djokovic up 2 sets to 0.. 80+ Unforced errors and 10 double faults OUCH.

So here is a semi update. all again un-official until sbr comes out with their info.

Will have scenarios out soon.

Zero Points & Eliminated from Men’s

Mathdocom

These people have Nadal Winning it all BUT have Zero or 1 point...

There are others out there that have Nadal Winning it all and have 2+ points already sothese are eliminated too

wow, I can finish second, if Nadal wins against Soederling ....And really, it's not all unlikely to happen.

**Boscoe** · 06-02-10, 01:44 PM

I got a shot! Thanks for doing the math on that, Ryangene!

**Ryangene** · 06-02-10, 03:06 PM

No problem. Again from what I can see and I went over should be close to right... however if you see your name above you may want to just double check your entry and make sure I gave you enough points etc...

**StraitShooter** · 06-02-10, 04:24 PM

Hey Ryangene- Great job in this thread..you have given it an added flavor...thks for taking the time to help us make this contest lots more clearer!

Oh by the way I will give you 10% of my winnings if I get lucky and win something which I will if Soderling takes out the spanish brat like he did last year..but Id prefer Melzer to beat nadal..

its a shame melzer had a tuff 5 set match today and although almagro gave nadal a good match he was not able to win a set and rafa saved alot of wear and tear

**mihaita666** · 06-02-10, 04:38 PM

dude, if I win anything, i will give you some points for your work.

**StraitShooter** · 06-02-10, 04:42 PM

Yo devil dude seen ya around solid poster..I think you have a great chance with your two last guys..maybe you can win

**yisman** · 06-02-10, 05:25 PM

thanks for the update, ryan!

Basically I need Berdych to beat Soderling, and I'm picking that anyway. I think he has a solid chance.

**Jrod124** · 06-02-10, 05:34 PM

wish I entered in the contest. I will def try my hand in a Wimbledon one if someone offers to run it

**Ryangene** · 06-02-10, 06:50 PM

You guys are very welcome.. IF SBR will allow me, I'd run this the same way for the next tennis deal and if people wanted to send me their picks via PM I'd do it that way too.... Or do just like they did here... I'd tweak a few rules maybe but would be more then happy to help out.

**mihaita666** · 06-04-10, 09:49 AM

Oh yeah, Robin is in the final.....woo-hoo...nadal wins with melzer, no reason to believe something else...and regains the first position in the ATP.

**tailmypicks** · 06-04-10, 10:01 AM

this is soderling's tourney

**Boscoe** · 06-04-10, 10:12 AM

damn.... thought berdych was going to pull that one out. oh well.

**mihaita666** · 06-04-10, 11:02 AM

If that means he'll play well, but lose the final, I agree with you :P
But Nadal is just too god on clay, it would surprise me to see a 4 sets match.

unreal, I logged in and saw 500 points, thought someone made a mistake and transfered them to me or it was a system error

thanks lou for the competition, I think it helps us trying to make the tennis forum more active

and thanks ryangene for the hard work you put in

**birdmanweezy** · 06-07-10, 12:55 PM
