    US OPEN 2012 CONTESTS sponsored by WILLIAM HILL- Men and Women
    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 23RD with the first match commencing at 11am local time MONDAY AUGUST 27TH. I will create contest threads with the draws and the format when they're available. This is not a quick contest to enter - although if you use the bracket software I suggest in the contest threads it'll help a lot - so allow yourself some time to figure out your picks.

    2. Each person is to PM ME the winners of each match all the way through from the First Round until the Final BEFORE the first match commences. Just to be clear: You have to figure out the winner of each 1st round match, carry them over to the 2nd round and decide who'll win, and so on. I'll post everyone's picks at some point in the day so all of us can follow along.

    Sponsored by WilliamHill. Players without an account must enter one.


    Prize pools for each contest:

    1st. 1,500 SBR FP
    2nd. 1,000 SBR FP
    3rd. 750 SBR FP
    4th. 500 SBR FP
    5th. 350 SBR FP
    6th. 300 SBR FP
    7th. 250 SBR FP
    8th. 200 SBR FP
    9th. 150 SBR FP


    Fine-print
    1. Users who are ineligible to have a willhill account may enter their SBR username instead.
    2. All users must pay a 10-point entry fee.


    You can enter the Men's contest here

    And the WTA here



    Any questions, let me know!

                          You're lucky the weird band of spammers isn't here or else we'd be getting 20 posts about '6 moths ago'.
