US Open contest - 2012 Women's Singles Sponsored by William Hill

[Optional]

Looks like it is going to come down to the Aza/Shara match result.

See PO69, this is why the first rounds matter. As we get near the end people start getting closer in score and usually end up with similar players. Those extra matches you won in the beginning are the difference between what prize you get, if any. Plus the number of dog winners you had in the first two rounds are used in tiebreaks. Every point counts!

true, only when theres such a big pre-tournament favourite though.
Have a look at the mens comp, if you had Federer to win you could potentially drop 50 points to the winner and out of the top 10 regardless of how well you did in the rest of the bracket.
I like the format, just think that the weighted points for the semis and finals are way too high ..

I played around with the scoring quite a bit when I first started running them and then asked everyone what we should do. Majority thought copying the way the Tennis Channel scores their contests was the easiest. But I'm always open to suggestions! Especially since Federer just boned me this time
