    Wimbledon SBR Point Bracket Contest
    I will be running the contest again for Wimbledon. Waiting on SBR to confirm point distribution.

    A few new wrinkles:

    *'Ties will be split and combined equally'
    * Total games played for finals will be included for a tiebreaker. Whoever comes closest (whether going over or under) wins.

    TIEBREAKS
    If two members are tied the following tiebreaker will be used:

    *Player with the most wins
    *Total games played in final
    *If a member has predicted the correct finalist they win
    *Tie and prize split and combined equally

    I will be traveling by plane Monday morning and afternoon and Wednesday morning and afternoon so I will ask for your patience as my grading early on in the tournament could be slow.

    MEMBERS WILL PM ME PICKS INSTEAD OF POSTING THEM ON THE FORUM. Any picks posted on the forum will not count.

    ONCE YOU SEND ME A PM YOU MAY NOT CHANGE YOUR PICKS.

    DEADLINE TO SUBMIT PICKS IS MONDAY 4AM EASTERN TIME.

    I am making it a few hours earlier as I will TRY to post all picks in the thread prior to the tournament 6:30AM start to keep the "integrity" of the tournament and avoid members claiming cheating on my part. I will post my picks in this thread before the deadline, again to avoid any issues of cheating.

    I will be posting brackets shortly.

                            Hi there I was just wondering if the draw should be updated since gulbis has withdrawn before the tournament. Petzschner is now playing Robert in Nadal's quarter and Ventura is playing Karol Beck in Djokovich's quarter. Here's the link about it

                              FOLKS FREAKIN GULBIS SCREWED UP THE DRAW

                              Gulbis has withdrawn.

                              Petzchner has replaced Gulbis in that spot
                              Beck has replaced Petzchner is his old spot
                              Riba Madrid has replaced Beck in his old spot.

                                                    In the morning. My book won't put up odds for at least another 3-4 hours. I might not go too heavy on day 1
