Gra$$ is Greener ATP/WTA Contest

[Greekster]

lol...that's weird, it permitted me to donate 20 points all at one time for the tourney, but I am not a pro?

EP..in my pm that I sent you, I mentioned that since I am a Non Pro I would donate 2 pts per day. Didnt think it would permit me to donate all 20 at once, which I have now done.

[nulldah]

I'm in.

Edited: Entry pm-ed!

Good point. I´m not pro either and was just able to transfer the remaining 16pts I owed.

[erkanua]

I am in if I am not late.

pfff..I think it is gone..to the next time..

[EaglesPhan36]

I will get the entries posted in this thread later in the morning. We had a decent turnout. Was hoping for a bit more, but it'll work.

Hopefully you got mine last night. Had to burn the midnight oil as I was tied up with a pool tourney all weekend and completely forgot about it.

[yisman]

I did it last night before going to sleep.

I had trouble working out who to pick for dogcatcher and flameout.

Guess there's a bug with points transfers if it's letting non-pros transfer more than 2.

[EaglesPhan36]

Edit. Nevermind.

Ugh. Missed out.

[shari91]

Just so we all know for the future (as it seems a few were unaware of this, as was I) -

Non Pros can transfer more than 2pts a day to Pros. They just can't do it to fellow non Pros. I just verified this with Lou.

[yisman]

shari, I'm pretty sure this was a change just implemented, because it didn't used to be this way.

[EaglesPhan36]

Sweet. That will help these contests immensely.

[JNic]

you see how shari picked Haider-Maurer for dog special. Well i was wondering, he opened at +105 i think but now is like -110 range. do you give credit for what the line opens at or closes at?

[EaglesPhan36]

It's going to be as close to the opening price as I can get it. I forgot to post the lines this morning so people can see the dog prices, am working on that right now with shari's help.

[Gaskan]

JNic killing his locks so far!!!!!

Well done


Edit - What happens when fukktards like Youzney pull out? Just a zero gets added in that place?

[EaglesPhan36]

Okay, did the best I could to gather opening lines to use for the dogs for today. I am going to use Tennis Insight to use Opening Lines as the price for the dogs. That makes it easy to get the number and everyone will know where they came from. Prices below are the ones that apply to people's entries. Anyone not listed was an opening line favorite.

Monday: 6.6.11
Haase: +118
Radwanska: +117
Dimitrov +104
Cornet: +139
Krum +285
Hader-Maurer +139
Perrin +216

[yisman]

I'm getting annoyed with these contests. I pick people, and then they withdraw.

Can I pick a new dog catcher?

I don't understand how we can pick when we get #&#%s who wait until the last second and withdraw.

[Gaskan]

I actually think we should get points for people who withdraw if we had them as flameouts. Pretty much the same thing.

[beefcake]

Nice point!

[yisman]

I kinda think it's more like betting against them, and of course a bet would be voided if the player withdraws.

[JNic]

you guys see Federer withdraws from Halle to rest...

Surprised by that.

EP I got 195 for me -
Locks
LLodra +/- 2, 25+10+50=85
Flipkens +/- 3, 25+10+50=85
Berdych W - 25

195 Total

Let me know if I am understanding this wrong.

[EaglesPhan36]

Fixed. Thanks for checking me. So many numbers to crunch on the locks with the +/- games, I think I just missed one there. If anyone else notices something funky, let me know and I will double check. Will admit I was doing these scores while watching the NBA game last night, so I may have crossed my eyes going back and forth.

No problem. Just wasn't sure if I was misinterpreting the "within" +/- 3 points rule.

Thanks for adjusting. Not that it will matter with the rest of my swill picks.

[EaglesPhan36]

Will post a new update this evening.

[Gaskan]

Can you post the dogs for today too. Think I may have hit mine.

[EaglesPhan36]

Riske opened at -134

[Gaskan]

I must have seen it after it moved. Thanks.
