    US Open Contest WOMENS - Starts ROUND 3
    Hey guys -

    Here's the contest for this year's Open. I will be posting the match-ups as soon as they're released for Round 3. Each person is to PM me their winners all the way through until the Final and once the first match commences, I'll post everyone's picks so all of us can follow along.

    You will receive 5 points for each correct winner of a match with a 15 point bonus if you correctly predict a winner of a match who is seeded 6 places or lower than her competitor. There will be a 100 point bonus to your score if you correctly pick the two players in the Final and a 50 point bonus if you correctly predict the winner of the Final. If you have chosen the winner of the Final and they are seeded outside of the top 10, you will receive an additional 200 point bonus.

    The entry fee is 15 points which must be paid before the commencement of the first match of Round 3 and SBR will also be contributing a substantial amount to the prize pool. Once I've received all the entries and the contest is closed, I'll post the prizes along with everyone's picks.

    If you have any questions, just let me know. Best of luck everyone!

                    The two winners of Group 1 play each other. The two winners of Group 2 play each other and so on. The winner from each of those groups progress to the QF. That's why I've broken them down into groups.

                    To help you visualise it, look at this link.

                        Only three hours left to enter my tennis buddies. 15points could score you a really good prize, especially since there'll definitely be fewer entrants in the women's contest than in the men's.

                          Ninety minutes folks. Fifteen points and a couple of minutes making picks will get you a good shot at making a couple of hundred!!

                                    There's a thread for it in the tennis forum as well.

                                                and does the men's contest start tomorrow?

                                                There's going to be a prize awarded after each round based on who earned the most points towards their final score in that round and the main prizes will be given out after the Final is played.

                                                As long as the weather doesn't mess with the matches today, the Men's contest will start tomorrow.

                                                          I took the same final, as I imagine others did.

                                                          I went in with the intention of taking Woz to win it, but I changed my mind when faced with the actual matchup.
