1. This is a bracket contest which starts at the First Round of the French Open. The first match commences at 11am local time, SUNDAY MAY 22ND. That is 5am EST in the States.
2. Each person is to PM ME their winners all the way through from the First Round until the Final before the first match commences. I'll post everyone's picks at some point in the day so all of us can follow along. I suggest using one of the free bracket sites to make your picks and then simply PM me the results of each round in the format I've supplied below. PLEASE USE THE FORMAT I PROVIDE - THIS MAKES IT MUCH EASIER ON ALL OF US.
3. You will receive 10 points for each correct winner of a match. NOT SBR POINTS - POINTS TOWARD YOUR CONTEST SCORE.
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 100 point bonus.
4. In the event of a tie when grading for contest purposes, the first tiebreak will go to the person who picked the highest number of matches correctly, excluding any bonuses. The second tiebreak will consist of the person who picked the most number of dog winners correctly throughout the tournament.
5. Minimum of top 5 will be paid including a small prize for the person who finishes last. Once the contest has started I will post the prizes, which will include a contribution from SBR.
The entry fee is 15 POINTS which MUST be paid before the commencement of the first match of Round 1 unless you have made special arrangements with me. If you're a Non Pro who begins to pay points yet stop at any point throughout the contest, your entry will be voided and all points paid forfeited.
