Wimbledon Contest 2011 - Men's singles

[shari91]

Shouldn't we use the SBR book rules? 2 sets... You never say anything about matches being voided on the 1st page? (correct me if i'm wrong)

For every contest I've run it's been retirements = void. When I started these a year ago I didn't even know SBR's book rules as I don't bet in there. Next time I'll put it in the first post - but they're the same rules that applied in the first round all the way through. There's no way I'm going back to the first round and changing scores now in both contests.

[brandoc]

If "Tsonga" had Tsonga in the comp.. then i think this could be curtains

[StraitShooter]

If "Tsonga" had Tsonga in the comp.. then i think this could be curtains

he did not..he had fed over tsonga..I had tsonga over fed though..I also had tsonga at 5 dimes

what pissed me off today equatorial new guinea almost tied norway if not for a llate norway goal..I had 10 to win 140 on draw and almost had it

[yisman]

I don't know how much the final rounds are worth, but Federer losing should take some people out of contention.

Maybe I can win if Djokovic comes through.

[shari91]

100pt bonus for the final, 50pt bonus for picking the winner

some people are fried now

[Tsonga]

I wish I had backed my man Tsonga over Fed...loved the result though.

[horja1]

yeah man..I was surprised years ago by your handle and blatant dedication to a tennis player..dont kick yourself..no one saw this coming and fed was cruising after two sets..wtf!!?

[StraitShooter]

Heys guys..I think they promised five great spectacular prizes.which have yet to be metioned..kinda cool to keep it a sirprise

dont forget a prize for last place too..And the grand prize autographed picture and pantie set lol!!!

[aggieshawn]

Fed up two sets in majors 178-0 record. Now 178-1. I imagine the in running line would have been at 2% at the start of the third set.

Shari, I have donated 10 pts each for the ladies and mens tourneys so far. I will continue to donate two pts per day alternating between the womens and mens tourneys until I am fully paid up for both. This will obviously go into next week.

Are you ok with this?

Yep, that's cool.

[pozzy]

damn wish I got in this one..

[Mirar Baseball]

It's very appropriate that a man named tsonga is leading the pack

shari I've paid 10/20 points... I skipped a few days just forgetting... this process is a nuisance, but I'll get it done (obviously it will have to go into the next week, hopefully you are okay with this!)

[Tsonga]

yeah man..I was surprised years ago by your handle and blatant dedication to a tennis player..dont kick yourself..no one saw this coming and fed was cruising after two sets..wtf!!?

yah - started in '09 backing Tsonga...thankfully i haven't backed him financially a lot of times but he is one of my fav. players to watch.

You have me picking Nadal to win in your analysis...which i may want to switch to after the fact but I picked Djoker for this pool.

[StraitShooter]

my mistake correction on tsonga's final picks


Semi Final #1 Winner: Nadal
Semi Final #2 Winner: Djokovic

Final Winner: Djokovic

[Tsonga]

Got Djoker into the final...let's go Nadal.

[Tsonga]

So how many Sbr points will be given out here Shari?

[shari91]

So how many Sbr points will be given out here Shari?

Zero. I'm running away with them all as I think you rigged this somehow.

























Once I figure out the final and sort out who paid/didn't pay, I'll post it. It'll be a little bit more than the French as the entry fee was bigger. I just need to make sure everyone's paid, etc....

[yisman]

I was hopeful for a good placing when Murray won the first set, but it all fell apart from there.

Not to mention the money I lost. I found Murray in the second set (up a set, but down a break) at +160 on Bodog...

[Mirar Baseball]

sent 14/20 so far... so 16/20 considering I (by mistake) paid you 2 pts in the ladies contest thread, the one I never signed up for

[shari91]

UPDATED SCORES AFTER SEMIS

Prizes for both contests will be sorted out tomorrow when I'm working again. Note there was a 100pt bonus for those who picked both finalists right and if you picked the winner you'll get 60pts instead of the usual 10.

[saske]

NAdal Will Win this Competition...

[shari91]

those numbers mean you're not! not for the first place (i didn't know if there are more prizes, isn't this winner-take-call format?)

See the first post in the thread - top 5 and last place get paid as always

[Mirar Baseball]

ok... damn i'm stuck in the middle!

[MCherry281]

Darn you Tsonga! I guess I will be happy to finish second. Go Djokovic!

[Tsonga]

Amazing. Never thought he could get Nadal in 4 sets. Wow. I came in 3rd out of 8000 for the tennis channel tourneytopia thing!
