[pavyracer]

Shari this is too much work for 15 points. Please make sure Seth is being taken care off.

[shari91]

Shari this is too much work for 15 points. Please make sure Seth is being taken care off.

Believe me, if he was sleeping at night instead of the day I wouldn't be doing it. But for right now, it's all good. If it gets to be too much at any point I'll definitely ask someone to take over.

[EmpireMaker]

Is SBR going to kick in some points for these contests ?

[EmpireMaker]

Davydenko and Querrey out OUCH !!!

[dfberger23]

Got confused with the times, thought the Open started tomorrow.

[King Mayan]

Should I bet DJO -3000 $100 to win $3

[shari91]

Is SBR going to kick in some points for these contests ?

Yes. Once I get back home and sort it all out I'll post the prizes.

Should I bet DJO -3000 $100 to win $3

Just in case you're being serious: It's a pretty sure thing but nothing is ever 100% in tennis. I wouldn't do it but it's up to you.

[yisman]

empire, yeah. I had Q in 4R and Davydiver in QF.

I'm in big trouble already.

[shari91]

Just a reminder: JNic and Iceminers still owe entry fees.

Am figuring out prizes now.

[shari91]

PRIZES

FIRST PLACE: 400 points
SECOND: 250
THIRD: 125
FOURTH: 75
FIFTH: 50

WOODEN SPOON AWARD (LAST PLACE): 20 POINTS

[jjgold]

Paver stop

If she cannot cut it she does not belong here, kids should not be a factor

Put him on the fukkin rug, give him toys and on a fukking string dangle a $50 bill where he keeps trying to get it, should keep him busy

JJ he is a toddler not a homeless man.

[shari91]

[EmpireMaker]

You are doing a great job Shari, this is a time intensive job

[yisman]

Shouldn't there be a deadline for submitting entry fee?

[shari91]

Shouldn't there be a deadline for submitting entry fee?

Icer understood it to be by the end of the first round so that's cool. But yeah if the fee isn't paid by the time those matches finish then I'll just withdraw the entries.

[jjgold]

I had many run ins last year with Shari on this contest, it is so confusing
I know there is no other way to do it unless you have bracket software (shari was suppose to write it)
Way too much work for her

I do not give a fuk, I just put my two winners and skipped the entire rest of tourney
If my players win I will get paid

Its real nice when your holding a chick's pussy in the palm of your hand and if I do not get my way I just throw it away.

Good Luck men with contest, tough tourney and fields

[shari91]

JNic, if your points aren't in before the end of the Hewitt match, I'm going to just ditch your entry. Not really fair for those guys who committed up front.

Icer has paid.

[JNic]

sorry i just saw i forgot.. i paid up, i hope its not too late?

[Glitch]

jnic-

would look way less fishy if you didnt have nalbandian going deep...not trying to speak for shari, just saying...

when she said that, it was either you were gonna lose all those picks or a lot of other people were going to gain points with hewitt...she posted that when the match was about tied. not even rendering an opinion- just stating the facts.

im sure she would definitely let you stick around if you forfeited your nalbandian picks but anyways...goodluck.

[shari91]

JNic, it's fine. Nalbandian was technically the favourite in that match anyway so it's not like you were picking some major upset. I was more trying to prevent anyone getting the idea for next time to make picks and wait to see how they're doing at the end of round one before deciding whether or not to pay. I know that's not what happened in your case but next time I'll just reiterate several times in my first post when the points are due so there's no confusion.

Best of luck.

[sickler]

Wow shari, running this contest seems like a helluva lot of work for you. Hope you're being compensated fairly by SBR.

It is my understanding that iceminers is a dual stiff (points and money). Should be something in your contest rules stating that stiffs have their winnings given to those they stiffed. In a perfect world eh....

[EmpireMaker]

any contest standings update for the end of the first round ?

My compensation is the joy I get at donating my points to the winners.

Later today. I'm in the process of moving so everyone will just need to bear with me the next few days until it's all sorted out.

This isn't an SBR sponsored contest? Thought it was. I did a free contest giving away my points and know the feeling of more work than expected.

Gonna have to shoot ya a PM after reading the bottom half of your message

Sickler since you are so gung ho on becoming the SBR stiff police, please track down the $500 BayAreaBeast stiffed me on a few months back in a contest on this site.
