    US Open Contest 2011 - Men's and Women's Singles
    For those of you who may not have entered one of my contests before, here are the rules:

    1. This is a bracket contest which starts at the First Round of the US Open. The draw will be released THURSDAY AUGUST 25TH, with the first match commencing at 11am local time, MONDAY AUGUST 29TH. I will create contest threads with the draws when they're available.

    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.

    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 tie-break will go to the person who picked the highest number of matches correctly, excluding any bonuses. The second tie-break will go to the person who picked the most dog winners in the first round.

    5. Top 5 will be paid including a small prize for the person who finishes last.

    The entry fee is 20 POINTS which MUST be paid before the commencement of the first match of Round 1. If you're a Non Pro you can start paying now at a rate of 2/day in this thread but you need to specify in here if you're entering the Men's or Women's contest or both.

    If you start to pay the entry fee and stop at ANY POINT throughout the contest, your entry is forfeited and your points will be contributed to the prize pool.

    If any Pro's want to pay sooner as well, feel free to do it in here but again let me know which contest you're entering, unless you give me 40 for both.

    I'll sign up for the Women's. They're usually the funniest to predict.

        I'm in. Both draws. Is it still a 20 point entrance fee for each draw, or both?

          Seems like a lot of work. All I'm saying is Murray wins and at 7-1 odds that is fantastic

                              Yeah, once the draws are released I'll create two separate contest threads for the men and women and provide the format that you need to PM me your choices in. My suggestion is to go to a site that has an online bracket contest running ie the one through the Tennis Channel and fill out an entry there. Then just take the names, enter them in the format I've given you and PM it to me. Very quick that way.

                                  Thanks shari. Sounds good. Have a link? So you will post a bracket with all the players we can pick or do we have to look for one ourselves?

                                                  If I ran a Slam contest and you didn't enter, I just may cry. One of the few constants I have. I hope we win it all this time pal - I think we deserve it

                                                      It really is a fun contest. The entering part is a bit of a bitch if you take it seriously and want to win - probably about an hour's worth of just looking at match-ups and thinking it through. But it makes the whole tournament interesting and gives you a reason to care about matches you're not betting on.

                                                        It gets quicker with each round though, right?
                                                        Anyway, I'm not great at tennis betting, so this will be just for kicks...
