Mens FRENCH OPEN Bracket Contest - OFFICIAL THREAD

**TennisBabe** · 05-24-10, 07:02 AM

Kindlmann took his place but since it is not a seed and only affects 1 bracket we will continue with it. If you picked Mayer to beat Monfils it will be marked as a loss. If you picked Monfils to advance and he does well you'll get credit.

**Tsonga** · 05-24-10, 09:51 PM

i thought the rules say i couldn't change my pick. If I won that you wouldn't have counted it but when i changed it, it lost so you counted it?

**TennisBabe** · 05-26-10, 05:34 PM

I don't understand your question. If you edit a pick it's automatically a loss. Your Chiudinelli pick was noted as disqualified therefore marked as a loss.

**yisman** · 05-26-10, 05:58 PM

besides, having it not counted is the same as a loss anyway

**Goat Milk** · 05-26-10, 10:46 PM

what do you mean you don't understand my question. Is it a difficult question?

I changed my pick. You said I couldn't change it. So either you leave it as what it was prior, or you can leave the change. It's your choice. You can't have it work in your favor from all angles.

If I told you I was changing a pick you don't automatically disqualify it, that's childish, you either tell me to change it back or to leave the change and I cannot change any picks from there on out. It's not a big deal to me, but don't try and act like this is formal competition with thousands of dollars at stake. It's a online competition for kicks. You really need to chill out with your "rules"

**TennisBabe** · 05-26-10, 11:07 PM

Once you change a pick it's marked as a loss. Very simple

**TennisBabe** · 05-26-10, 11:07 PM

Rules were clearly posted. Don't like them, don't play.

Thanks for the work you have done for the tournament Tennisbabe

**shari91** · 05-29-10, 01:51 AM

Woohoo

Thanks again TB and I hope you've been kicking some butt in your tourney this weekend.

**TennisBabe** · 05-29-10, 09:09 PM

I had as tough as a day as Andy Roddick and David Ferrer singles wise

0-2 in singles 3-1 in doubles losing in the finals. Long long long day.

I have attached the latest excel sheet sorting it in order.

TOP 3:
JNIC
YISMAN
TENNISBABE

Should be some more movement in standings with a few matches making a big difference this coming round. As always please review for accuracy.

**Tsonga** · 05-31-10, 03:50 PM

i take it an update in the standings is coming soon since the round of 16 is done? thanks for your work on this

**TennisBabe** · 05-31-10, 04:31 PM

updated sheet attached

top 3:
1. Jnic
2. Stacocakes
3. Birdmanweezy

**Andy117** · 05-31-10, 08:53 PM

Go Federer!

**Bigpete2010** · 05-31-10, 11:22 PM

i like them picks!!!!

**birdmanweezy** · 06-01-10, 12:45 PM

im the only one with fed losing before final...to bad i had youzhny instead of berdych

**TennisBabe** · 06-01-10, 12:47 PM

I'm kicking myself for not putting Berdych in the semi's also!

Go figure I place real $ on him winning the tournament, yet don't back that up here in the game

MORON!

**yisman** · 06-01-10, 12:57 PM

I'm taking Berdych over Soderling, believe it or not.

BTW, everyone who had Fed winning is basically done.

**JNic** · 06-01-10, 01:01 PM

looks like stacocakes is confirmed number 1, thanks for the contest tennisbabe

**shari91** · 06-01-10, 01:05 PM

I went with my heart, but I still wouldn't have predicted him going out now.

Best of luck to those still in it and thank you again TB for doing this for us! Oh Yiser - I'm with you on Berdych as well.

**TennisBabe** · 06-01-10, 01:08 PM

Just a quick glance here's the summary: If Djokovic wins tomorrow then Stacocakes will overtake #1. If Djokovic losses JNIC will keep #1. Yisman will also move in the top 3 with a Djokovic win.

In other words...Djokovic wins tomorrow:
1. Stacocakes
2. JNIC
3. Yisman

Djokovic losses
1. Jic
2. Stacocakes
3. Birdmanweezy

Contest comes down to Djokovic match

**Stacocakes** · 06-01-10, 01:33 PM

Should be an interesting day tomorrow. Djokovic has been hot and cold all tournament so we will see which Novak shows up. Thanks for running the contest Tennisbabe
