I figure them out. Based on the number of entries received, they added 350. More will be given to the men's contest if the number of entries is higher.

I'm waiting for clarification on something from Daveyboy and once I receive that his picks will be posted.

[B1GER1C828]

should be a big bonus if you get them all right.

[B1GER1C828]

i think i might of misinterpreted this structure...i thought we would get 5 sbr points per match win, but now im realizing that its probably a tally. woops

[shari91]

After the first day of Round 3, B1GER1C and Diesel both have a perfect score of 40 by calling all 8 winners. Five people are tied at 35 and 5 are tied at 30.

Fthenorm paid the points but never submitted his picks so will have his points refunded once he posts up in here. Daveyboy also never sent me a clarification on his picks and now that the first day is over, I'll be refunding his points as well bringing us down to 12 entrants.

you said we get points after each round, no?

[shari91]

The only points after each round are the bonus prizes - Round 3's are for most aces and most double faults. Each correct win gives you points towards your final score. If we were awarding SBR points for each correct winner, I think I'd have to charge just a little more than 15 to enter considering I'd be dishing out 440 and Round 3 is only half over.

[Goat Milk]

you said we get points after each round, no?

lol i've never seen you so involved in the tennis forum guy

[B1GER1C828]

lol i've never seen you so involved in the tennis forum guy

i like tennis, but i dont bet it much...

[Goat Milk]

me and JJ are the only ones that don't have Woz or Kimmy winning it. Crazy how everyone took Kim to win- she will not win it this year 80% sure.

[shari91]

Here are the scores after Round 3. Four people: Diesel, Beefy, Swiss and JJ received a 15 point bonus for Kanepi defeating Jankovic based on seeding.

Beefcake: 90 points

JJ: 90

Diesel: 85

Swiss: 80

Ryangene: 70

Yisman: 70

Eric: 65

Wiz: 60

Goat: 60

Shari: 55

EP: 55

Will: 45

[yisman]

oh wow, I should've read about the big bonuses before picking.

Kanepi clearly the right pick considering the points for her vs. Jankovic.

Diesel and Will were both tied with 30 aces but because Diesel had more winning picks, he gets the 5 point bonus.

Ryangene and Yisman were both tied with 51 double faults and because they both had the same number of winning picks, I'll transfer 5 points to both of them.

[shari91]

Ryangene and Diesel, please post in this thread when you get a chance so I can transfer you both your 5 point bonus.

[shari91]

I have adjusted the points based on the Petkovic/Peng match because of Peng's retirement. I realised when calculating points for the men's contest that I awarded everyone here for a walkover when it should have been a voided pick. Everyone's points have dropped by 5 with the exception of Diesel as he is the only one who had Peng. This hasn't affected the aces bonus as Diesel had more winning picks than Will anyways.

Beefcake: 85 points

JJ: 85

Diesel: 85

Swiss: 75

Ryangene: 65

Yisman: 65

Eric: 60

Wiz: 55

Goat: 55

Shari: 50

EP: 50

Will: 40

[Diesel79]

Thanks for the great contest Shari

btw, what do you think Kanepis chances in next 2 rounds? First she plays against Wickmayer and then either Petkovic or Zvonareva. It looks to me that she has great chance to make it to the semifinal at least...

Kanepi/Wickmayer is a complete 50/50 match for me. I really don't have a clue who will win although the early line movement is indicating that Kanepi's the play if you like to base your bets on that in tennis. Very, very hard match to call in my opinion.

[beefcake]

Great stuff Shari...!
Thanks for doing these contests..

Solid Contest

[shari91]

Women that can give you a 15 point bonus if they win today based on seeding: Pavlyuchenkova, Demented, Ivanovic, Peer.

[B1GER1C828]

update?

[shari91]

update?

Now that the round is smaller, I'm going to just do it once it's over today. Figure there's no point breaking it down in halves now that there are so few players left.

[Ryangene]

Thanks Shari

[shari91]

Scores after Round 4:

Ryangene 115 points (He is also the only person to receive the bonus for Cibulkova defeating Kuznetsova)

Diesel 110

JJ, Swiss, Beefcake all tied with 100

Yisman 90

Eric 85

Wiz, Goat, Shari, EP all tied with 70

Will 60
