Free ATP Contest- AEGON 'Queens Club - Win SBR Points

[TennisBabe]

SBR has backed another ATP Tennis contest. We move to the grass court season next week with the famous "Queens Club" tournament. This ATP tournament will feature Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray, Andy Roddick, Marin Cilic, Gael Monfils, Sam Querrey, Richard Gasquet and many more top ranked players.

SBR will award points to the Top 3 finishers in this tournament!

First Place: 300 SBR Points!
Second Place: 150 SBR Points!
Third Place: 50 SBR Points!

The draw will be out this weekend and I will post it once it comes out! Contest format will also be posted with the draw.

Awesome! Wish we can have these on a weekly basis. After all, baseball fans get daily contests.

[noober]

Also, I would suggest doing it round by round rather than a bracket.

[beefcake]

Dmitrov wins it all..

But seriously...Thats good news!

[tailmypicks]

great work

[noober]

Dmitrov wins it all..

But seriously...Thats good news!

He actually won a match last year and lost 7-6 7-6 to Simon in the second.

[mihaita666]

SBR is getting better and better imo....World Cup contest, tennis contest(s)....really nice, especially for us, europeans, whi don;t know much about NFL or MLB

[JNic]

wow this is sick! love to see tennis contests

[beefcake]

These lower tier tourney contests. will be challenging...Trying to pick the upsets,or getting screwed when top 20 players tank it is going to drive alot of us nuts...

[beefcake]

He actually won a match last year and lost 7-6 7-6 to Simon in the second.

Thanks for that,depending on the draw he might be worth a shot in the first round.

Agree. Hate to pick coin flips in MLB contests.

[Jon825]

great contest. thanks sbr staff

[Tsonga]

nice - should be fun

[Bigpete2010]

should be great!!!!!!!!!!!

[MUHerd37]

All we need is for SBR to allow us to parlay tennis!!!!!

[JNic]

hahah yea what is up with no parlays??

[Andy117]

Very cool to see.

[beefcake]

We would bankrupt Lou and friends if he allowed us to paraly tennis,a middle ground might be to allow us only to bet 2 teamers??
How bout it LOU!!!

[noober]

Why do you all like parlays so much? It's simple math to see that the more matches you play the worse off you are.

[TennisBabe]

Draw still not out yet...Stay tuned

[TennisBabe]

Scratch that I was using an old link. Draw is out. Will work on it now

[TennisBabe]

We will continue with the same format as the French Open. If we do round by round I find that a bit unfair since a member might not be able to post a single day plus I think this is more fun and challenging. Also doing it round by round we can open up the possibility of opponents "reaching" if they are down a lot.

SIX ROUNDS IN THIS TOURNAMENT
First Round: 1 Point
Second Round: 2 Points
Third Round: 4 Points
Quarter Final: 8 Points
Semi-Final: 16 Points
Winner: 32 Points
***5 Bonus Points for Picking correct final 4
***10 Bonus Points for Picking correct finalist

8 Players have byes to the second round. I will list them as "Rafael Nadal-BYE" You obviously won't get any points but to avoid confusion I will list that "matchup" in the first round. Format is the same as the French Open...Example below. Your first entry should be the second round match.

UPDATE: I just noticed Qualifiers have not yet been posted into the bracket. I will wait till later this evening when they hopefully update that.

Awesome! Thanks for organising another contest for us neglected tennis junkies TB!

Thanks for oragnizing it. I would suggest giving less points to the winer, finalist, semi-finalists so that first round matches are not totally meanigless and there will be more skill rather than luck.

[TennisBabe]

Good point. I will take that into consideration.

[noober]

The final rounds of qualies are going to be played tomorrow.
