US Open Contest 2011 - Women's Singles

[jdrb]

Jeez maybe I was a little too adventurous by not picking atleast Serena or Maria to reach the final.

[shari91]

JBT and Wikkid have submitted their picks to me but am just waiting for them to send them through in the proper format. I'll be going to sleep soon so if I don't get them before then, I'll post them when I wake up in a few hours.

[JBT]

No problem JBT. I just saw your PM and yeah, it'd be great if you could fill it out with the format in here. It'll save me the time of having to redo it myself.

Nah, just do it yourself...

Lmao, give me a few hours, I'm still not drunk enough to look at those brackets again

[shari91]

ttwarrior sent me his women's entry at the same time as the men's but hadn't paid yet. I am now covering his entry fee as a thank you for his help with my fantasy football draft.

Shari: give me a tennis winner for tomorrow.

I haven't looked yet Nats. I'm just pissed that I dropped my unit sizes because I didn't have much time to look and then I had a good day today.

[Nats' Fan]

Oh, that sucks.

[JBT]

Damn Kvitova, had her all the way to the fourth round...

Na Li and Jie Zheng

[JBT]

Shari, I've sent you my picks for both contests in a text form as requested over 12 hours ago. Please confirm, thanks.

[yisman]

Na Li and Jie Zheng

Both have been rather underwhelming today!

[SBR Lou]

Is it too late to play?

[shari91]

Is it too late to play?

Well yes but since you're my boss it's not like I'm going to say that

If you want, just start in the 2nd round and I'll give you the average number of points that all of us made in the 1st round. But I'll void the matches that Li and Kvitova would've played in the 2nd round because those have been the two biggest upsets and I'm pretty sure all of us had them to cruise through the first.

Bring it on pal.

[yisman]

yes Li and Kvitova torched a lot of brackets.

[shari91]

yes Li and Kvitova torched a lot of brackets.

Yep and I feel like a massive sucker for getting involved with either player. Kvitova looked like ass coming into this tournament and I think it's safe to say now that she just shouldn't be trusted on outdoor hard. Li has stiffed me consistently since January. After all the cash she made me in Sydney and then the Aussie Open, I feel like I'm always on the wrong side of her matches now. That's why I don't bother to even touch them with money any more - she's in the no fly zone with Istomin and Querrey.

[yisman]

Querrey. Now there's a name I haven't heard from lately. Must be injured.

[shari91]

Querrey. Now there's a name I haven't heard from lately. Must be injured.

Yeah, his elbow. He was supposed to play but pulled out. One less guy for me to worry about screwing up my bracket even more.

[JBT]

Thanks Shari I just re-read what I wrote and it came off different than how I meant it Just wanted to make sure you got it...

[JBT]

Is it too late to play?

Depending on your contribution to the prize pool... lmao

[JBT]

Damn Hantuchova... I see she, on top of Na Li and Kvitova, got most of us pretty badly. If the first part of the first round was looking somewhat promising for my bracket, the second part of the first round sure did come down crushing it hard lmao...

[yisman]

holy smokes I had Hantuchova in parlays as well.

sbr book and dsi had a favorable line on her.

[shari91]

So did I - but luckily it had already crashed with the Kerber under. She'll have killed a lot of people today. Between her and Li books will be laughing their asses off.

[shari91]

Sorry about the delay with the update guys. It's my son's bday today so things have been a bit crazy around here.

[shari91]

Since there's only 13 of us this time, I was thinking of just paying the top 3 and last place instead of top 5 as usual. SBR is also matching the total of our entry fees with free plays in the sportsbook. If anyone would rather I pay top 5, let me know but I'm thinking at least this way the prizes will be bigger for those who win.

[JBT]

Happy birthday Shari!

PS: Ha! I see not all hope is lost for me just yet...

[JBT]

As far as I'm concerned, whatever you and other members decide is fine by me. It's still early enough that we all got a chance to finish in the top three. Maybe next time you could raise the participation fee... at least double it.

[wikkidinsane]

damn im pretty much toast had v williams in finals bahahahah

[yisman]

As far as I'm concerned, whatever you and other members decide is fine by me. It's still early enough that we all got a chance to finish in the top three. Maybe next time you could raise the participation fee... at least double it.

I think it's too late to do that.

prize structure:

I'd just pay top 3. Last place doesn't need anything!

[JBT]

I think it's too late to do that.

prize structure:

I'd just pay top 3. Last place doesn't need anything!

What do you mean? Too late to raise the participation fee? I'd be willing to pay another 20 points (or whatever) to make it more interesting, though I can understand that somebody from further behind might feel different about it, even if there's still a long way to go...

[yisman]

well, you can't raise a fee after a contest has started. Some people may not have enough, or may not want to pay more.

That especially is the case when someone has fallen far behind.

[JBT]

Of course, that's why I initially suggested it for "next time". Though not sure what the big deal is... 20 points, that's 3 days worth of FREE points with a nominal value of 1€. It's not like anybody would go broke over 20 points

[MCherry281]

I think it's too late to do that.

prize structure:

I'd just pay top 3. Last place doesn't need anything!

Top 3 sounds good and I agree with not paying last place. Last doesn't deserve anything.

[yisman]

JBT, you're right, I thought you meant raising it this time.

Guess Lou never submitted his picks?
