Pick 'em competitions - JamieMurray.org = the team to beat in 2010 :)

[steven]

Many of you here will have played in one or more of the 'Battle of the Boards' pick 'em competitions that are held on the britishtennis.net site for slams and most AMS events. For those who haven't yet, it's a bit like the ATP bracket challenge, but with hundreds of entrants rather than thousands, it's friendlier and has the extra 'edge' of it being possible to play for a team if you want to as well as taking part in the individual competition. It's a great way to get interested in matches you'd never have cared about before and to develop a better knowledge of the players on the ATP tour.

From the Roland Garros pick 'em onwards, we are thinking of offering people the chance to choose JamieMurray.org as their team. While this will probably mean that the AM.com team gets split, there are some advantages to this if it ends up meaning that the biggest teams are all of a similar size. However, it will be pointless to offer this option if JM.org would then struggle to get a team of five or more for some of the comps.

So, before we make a final decision, please could you post here if you would be likely to choose to play pick 'ems for JamieMurray.org if you had the option to do so? If it looks like a dozen or more of you would do that, we'll run with it!

More advance information about the Roland Garros pick 'em can be found at http://www.andymurray.com/forum/showthread.php?t=657 while the pick 'em home page can be found at the first link in my signature.

[Shaun7879]

Maybe we have the team linked together as the members on here are nearly from Andys site.

[steven]

Um ... that's not quite the point, Shaun! :wink:

[Fitzy]

I'd do it for all the non slams but I want to try and revive the MKT team at RG. :rolling:

[steven]

Oh, does that mean I need to put MK back on the list? (I've just taken it off LOL)

[Fitzy]

Oops :shamed: Is there anyway you can just put it on for RG and if we don't get enough entrants, we won't try and enter again?

[Michael]

Steven do you want open another team in the name of jamiemurray.org

[steven]

Yes, that's fine Fitzy.

Michael - if enough people want to play for it, yes.

[JAMES4579]

Well, I didn't help am.com much the last time, so I might consider entering for someone else at the French. There's no doubles pick'em mind you.:)

[steven]

Let's make this easier - I've added JM.org to the list of teams on the entry form. If you'd like to play for it if enough other people do too, just pick that as your 1st choice and AM.com as your 2nd and then you'll be switched back to AM.com if the JM.org team isn't big enough.

[Sallydaisy]

Hey everyone - Roland Garros is only a few days away...........



I'm happy to enter (there will be a massive sigh of relief from am.com!!!) but please bear in mind my Pick'em record is probably .......... a record.!!!
I think I'm up to 4 last places so - just say if you'd rather I scuppered t'other team... :shades:

Anyway ..... this is about the only time Jamie could beat Andy in a Singles competition now.

So - who is going to join me in the JamieMurray Pick'em team???

(oh, and we are going to make sure MarkKnowlesTennis comes last.......... :yahoo:)

[Fitzy]

hey hey, be careful what you say, because if my team doesn't have enough people to play, then I'll be heading your way, in which case the team will sadly pay, for my crazy picks, which I'll make on the last day! :p

[Sallydaisy]

Please - not Max Mirnyi to win the French Open............ :eek::eek::eek:

[kayce]

hey, at least our expectations won't be too high! :p

I'll play for jamiemurray.org too!

[Sallydaisy]

Thank you Kayce!!! That makes 2 of us so far I think........

the JamieMurray Pick'em team???

Sallydaisy
Kayce
Fitzy
Michael




C'mon people..........another 3 or 4 would be just brilliant..... . :)

[kayce]

We can take them Sally! The gorillas I mean :D


Well, I didn't help am.com much the last time, so I might consider entering for someone else at the French. There's no doubles pick'em mind you.:)

yes, no doubles pick'em. that is a sad thing.

[steven]

Unfortunately, there are only 24 hours in a day so I won't be running any doubles pick 'ems any time soon, but if anyone wants to set up a doubles pick 'em themselves, why not have a go - you can always start off small and doing it manually like we did with the singles and then think about expanding it later.

[steven]

Entries are now open properly, see the link in my signature.

[steven]

Qualifiers have now been placed and you have just under 38 hours left to get your entries in at http://www.britishtennis.net/Competitions.html

Good luck :bigsmile:

[Fitzy]

Well I've entered for Jamie's Team. ;) :eek:

[Michael]

I have also entered Jamie's team.

[Sallydaisy]

Cheers Michael - hope there will be enough of us!!! :)

[RoastLamb]

Katie and Sarah have both entered. One of them picked Rafa; t'other Djoker.

[kayce]

Unfortunately, there are only 24 hours in a day so I won't be running any doubles pick 'ems any time soon, but if anyone wants to set up a doubles pick 'em themselves, why not have a go - you can always start off small and doing it manually like we did with the singles and then think about expanding it later.

No way would we expect you to have that much time! It's obvious it takes a lot of time, I wish I had that kind of time! I would definitely do it! But alas, 21 credits plus work doesn't leave much time for anything else. If anyone wants to I might have time around Wimbledon to do one there!

(Or crazy as I am if I was pushed I might try it here)


Maybe we should start a thread to see if anyone would be interested in a doubles pick'em?



and go us for having more members!

[minnie me]

I'm in Jamie's team!!! :yahoo:

[steven]

UPDATE (being pasted into all boards with more than 5 entrants so far so apologies for the lack of formatting!)

Many thanks to those of you who have already entered. I am writing to confirm that the following changes to the draw have been made as a result of player withdrawals today:

Tsonga has been replaced by (LL) Luis Horna (PER), who will play Scoville Jenkins (USA) in R1
Fognini has been replaced by (LL) Josselin Ouanna (FRA), who will play Juan Martin del Potro (ARG) in R1
Kiefer has been replaced by (LL) Marc Lopez (ESP) who will play (26) Jarkko Nieminen (FIN) in R1

Anyone who started their entry after about 18.10 GMT today will have used an entry form with these changes already made.

IF YOU HAVE ALREADY ENTERED

Don't worry, it is definitely NOT essential to enter again - if you don't change your entry, you will simply score points if Horna wins any matches you predicted that Tsonga would win, and so on. None of the withdrawals so far are likely to affect many of you that much.

However, if you do want to make changes, please do a full new entry at http://www.britishtennis.net/Competitions.html if at all possible (this will only take a minute or two if you printed your original entry and can transfer the picks off that) and put NEW in after your name so that we know the entry is a replacement.

Although it says on the 'entry successful' page that minor changes can be made by email, it will take us a lot longer to start doing results if we are swamped with email changes, so we'd much rather you didn't do it that way unless you have no other option, e.g. if you weren't able to print your original entry and can't remember your other picks. If that was the case, we'll try to process any emailed changes. Changes by PM on this board will probably NOT get picked up, so please don't do it that way, whatever you do.

LATER CHANGES

If there are any even later changes between now and when play starts, I probably won't have time to come around the boards again, but if you notice any and want to make any further changes to your entry, please follow the advice above. Nobody will be able to make changes after play starts.

[Fitzy]

This might be the first time I finish in the top half of the time I'm playing on! :rolling:

[Sallydaisy]

I'll be posting mine early tomorrow morning..... too many glasses of wine tonight to sensibly read the draw.!!!

I make it jm.org have Sally, Kayce, Michael, Katie, Sarah, Minnieme, Fitzy...................... any more going to join us?

[Fitzy]

I guess I am the odd one out. We have two names that start with S, two with K, and two with M. And then there's me with F. :shamed:

[Sallydaisy]

I think we need a few more to join in the team!!!

[Michael]

At least our team is happening. It will increase during the next few events.

:yahoo::yahoo::swingin::swingin::yahoo::yahoo:

[xenon21]

I'm going to make my entry soon and play for jamie's team methinks.

[Sallydaisy]

Brilliant.......... well done Xenon!!! :swingin::swingin::swingin:

Jeez - wouldn't it be hysterical if jm.org came top of the teams...
I shall give it my fullest attention in the morning! :shades:

[smitty]

I joined Jamie's team! Maybe now we can be closer to the numbers on AM.com :thumbup:

[kayce]

My picks are in. And people on talkabouttennis.com are calling me a traitor. hahaha! My loyalty lies here!:p

I was doing pick'em long before I joined their site!

[Michael]

We are almost in double figures:yahoo:...........maybe we are in double figures:yahoo:.

[Sallydaisy]

The Pick'em deadline was 10am this morning so entries are now Closed.............

Good Luck everybody - and especially jm.org :swingin::swingin::swingin:.

[ASEsdaughter]

I also joined the JM team.

[Sallydaisy]

Excellent - cheers Claire!!! :thumbup:

So, there will be some interesting debate in Ase's family then??? :shades:

[imoen]

Hi Guys, you've managed to get a team of 13 together, bravo. :)

There should be some debate between the RoastLamb family too Sally as they've split teams. It could get messy :wink:

At the close of entries teams look like this:

41 = 11% AM AndyMurray.com
38 = 6% TN Tennisopolis.com
36 = 11% TA TalkAboutTennis.com (new team)
32 = 11% RF RogerFederer.com

0 = 0% LT The LTA
0 = 0% VB VamosBrigade.com

that's not the 100% final table as there are a couple of issues still to sort out but it's pretty accurate. :)


Getting the results up will probably take until the end of the day today as it normally takes a good 3 hours and we're having a few problems on top of that. In the meantime, enjoy the tennis!!

[Sallydaisy]

Thanks Imoen :thumbup:

BTW - bearing in mind you've already got a busy day - that percentage alongside Tennispolis looks wrong.
Should it be 11%???

Also - are there some Independents as well lurking somewhere?

Have a good day... :shades: At least it's miserable and raining so you won't feel you're missing a day in the sun!

[imoen]

oops guess which numpty forgot to change the %s after copying and pasting. Please ignore all %s!!

The independents are the 4th one down, all 32 of 'em.

Um, it's lovely fluffy white clouds and sunshine here! (with quite a strong wind to be fair but still not miserable or raining. Where are you? - I'm York, we have our own little weather system, the surrounding area could be having a thunderstorm on a day of brilliant sunshine here :smile:)

[Michael]

So we have 13 members in our team in our first entry.

:swingin::jumping::yahoo:

[imoen]

do any of you only check here, or do you all read the AM thread as well? (ie do I need to give occasional updates here?)

[JAMES4579]

I'm in Jamie's team as well!(listed as JAMES4578) I'd imagine if everyone is also an am.com member that they would be checking there.

[kayce]

so 3rd place so far in the teams, thats not bad!

[JAMES4579]

Yes, great start at least!


edit It didn't last and we are now slightly behind am.com.

I will take the blame after a pretty disastarous day, though not too many matches!

[Sallydaisy]

Hey guys - are we doing a team for Jm.org for Wimbledon???

[Fitzy]

We have 4 entrants so far Sally so once you do yours, we'll have the minimum! :shades: Am sure the others will do their entries again too! :D

[janeInScotland]

Question before joining the pick'em team.

Is it useful to have more people on the team even if they're not going to contribute many points? I guess I'm asking if the team's performance is rated on an absolute value or the average per team member.

I ask because I've never done pick'em & doubt that I'd earn many points for correct predictions.

[Fitzy]

The more the merrier right? ;)

We don't care about our team finish. We like having fun making predictions w/o having to worry about people getting mad if we aren't pulling our weight. Jamie's forum is the perfect place to start as a new member, because chances are, you'll do better than some of us veterans who never finish near the top! :D

[Sallydaisy]

Good post Fitzy.!!! Cheerful and chilled we are - just like Jamie!

Jane - don't fret your head. I doubt you'll dislodge my 'crown' in a hurry!!!

Sally (aka Queen Kong)

[Michael]

We seem to have a team of 5 now.

[rondun]

We seem to have a team of 5 now.

Make that 6 Michael :thumbup:

So I've decided to take the plunge and break my pick-em duck!

I must confess I've deliberately avoided the pick-em thread since joining the site because it just scared me.:eek:
I was always too late to enter anyway and couldn't figure out how to send in my choices since the entry form had always disappeared by the time I'd checked the site but I remembered this time and, well it's not difficult is it! (although making the right picks probably is!)

So I thought I'd enter for JM.org since I originally found Andy's site after looking for info about Jamie,
plus how could I not enter on the side of a current Wimbledon Champion?:swingin:
(also less people to get annoyed with me for picking muppets!)

[Michael]

I think we will all be picking muppets rondun.
Welcome aboard. Read Fitzy's comments above.

[kayce]

I'll be putting in my entry for JamieMurray.org again! I just need to wait till later when I have time.

[janeInScotland]

I've entered - thanks for all encouragment above :thumbup: I see that there is a limit of 500 (but only 266 processed so far).

[janeInScotland]

Just checked & I'm in team JM (which has 7 entries so far of 291). :)

[Sallydaisy]

I did mine this morning and I think with me in it'll be at least 9. :thumbup:

[Sallydaisy]

Yay - we are up to 14 for jm.org!!! :yahoo:

[Michael]

14 for jm.org gosh :yahoo::yahoo::yahoo::jumping::jumping::jumping:

[JAMES4579]

Yes, I'm there again!

[janeInScotland]

We're 9th after day 2 :)

[Michael]

We're 9th after day 2 :)



I have not helped jm.org. I voted Nole to win the Singles
:(:confused::eek:

I've decided for my own safety to hide behind the sofa:sofa::bigsmile:

I'm sorry.

[Fitzy]

No need to apologize Michael. :D A majority of us had him to at least the semifinals. I had him in the final.

[Michael]

I've just noticed that we have moved up to 8th as at this evening.

[JAMES4579]

I thought I'd take a risk and in my stupidity also had Nole in the final, when Federer has been perhaps been more impressive than some of us were considering. Anyway had a really bad performance after a good first day, so I'm not helping!

[janeInScotland]

I think most of us and the rest of the 400+ doing pick 'em had Nole into at least the semi-final. There'll only be a few who benefit from his defeat, and their predictions for the next few rounds must vary a lot - so hopefully no bias-drag-down for the JM team.

[janeInScotland]

The pick 'em results were last updated at 18:44 BST - so don't reflect all today's results.

edit - make that 00:13 BST :)

[janeInScotland]

Pick 'em was updated at 00:13 BST and we're still 8th :)

new post so that it appears in iSpy

[Sallydaisy]

Thanks Jane - I hope we go up !!!

[rondun]

Still trying to get my head round the amazing amount of information available on Bt.net -but I'm not doing as bad as I had thought.

Looking at the Team KO thing (I don't remember entering that - was there a "Dream number" box on the entry form or something?!) -it looks like we've beaten Hewitt's lot and now take on the mighty AM.com!

Bring it on!http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c130/rondun/amcom/box.gif

(speaking about Hewitt's lot and boxing - anybody know why a couple of his fans were "ejected from the club"?)

[Fitzy]

hahaha, I'm in 4th right now! :rolling: :eek:

It won't last but I'm proud to put our team on the map. We aren't losers. :thumbup:

[janeInScotland]

hahaha, I'm in 4th right now! :rolling: :eek:

It won't last but I'm proud to put our team on the map. We aren't losers. :thumbup:

well done Fitz :swingin:

[janeInScotland]

Team JM is now 10th - and our leader, Fitz, is 5th :)

I think in the KO we lose to LleytonHewitt.biz & so are in th 9th-16th playoffs - & we might be against AM (the KO table hasn't been updated for the last 2 matches).

[Sallydaisy]

Yay - we are up against am.com in the KO competition. Let's thrash them............. :shades:

Well done Fitzy for being in 5th place overall at the end of Round 2.
No danger of you meeting the gorillas this time. :thumbup:

[JAMES4579]

Fantastic Matt!! I wish I was in a similar position!:rolling:

[janeInScotland]

Team JM is now 10th - and our leader, Fitz, is 5th :)

I think in the KO we lose to LleytonHewitt.biz & so are in th 9th-16th playoffs - & we might be against AM (the KO table hasn't been updated for the last 2 matches).

we're in the quarter finals not 9-16th play-offs (I didn't realise that the higher the score the better :o)

[janeInScotland]

JM team is 7th :swingin: - but this doesn't include the last 3 singles results from today.

[janeInScotland]

Still 7th after all R3 results :swingin:
8 of the team up (including SallyDaisy up 155 places & KatieK up 96 places - well done to you)
the rest of us down - but I think not by much :)

[janeInScotland]

JM.org was 6th in the Wimbly pick 'em & either 5th or 6th in the KO (sorry I can't work it out - from the KO list I 'd say 6th but from the to-date list I'd say 5th).

To date we're 12th (up 1). So lots of potential for us :clap:

We've only got 4 scores (of possible 9) & if we had another 5 at same rate we'd be 7th.

(You probably all know all of this, that but I thought it should be recorded here :))

Steven - thanks to you & rest of team for all your hard work. I must say the pick 'em form was one of the simplest & most responsive of all the on-line forms I've completed :)

[JAMES4579]

It certainly wasn't a bad result for us and as usual some did better than others!:)

[janeInScotland]

Don't forget to do the pick 'em for Cincinnati



Entries are now open at http://www.britishtennis.net/Competitions.html ....


Further info in the Pickem - AMS Cincinnati 2008 (http://andymurray.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1070) thread on Andy's site.

[Michael]

Q's are up now.

I have entered mine for jm.org

[janeInScotland]

I've entered mine :)

[LadyTigress]

Erm... I already entered for Andy's site! But next time I will enter for Jamie's forums! :thumbup:

[JAMES4579]

I'm back in again for Jm.org!

[Michael]

Urgent:

We need one more team to enter jm.org as we have 4 but need 5.

Someone please enter for jm.org

[Sallydaisy]

Hi Michael - I'll be playing for jm.org and am about to do my Pick'em. Had to do some proper work this morning.!!!
:thumbup:

[Michael]

Hi Michael - I'll be playing for jm.org and am about to do my Pick'em. Had to do some proper work this morning.!!!
:thumbup:

Hi Sally:thumbup:,

I just had a slight panic attack. I'll relax and go back to sleep.

[Michael]

We have now shot up to 7 entries.

[Sallydaisy]

Mine has just been sent....... :thumbup:

[RoastLamb]

Sarah and Katie have done theirs. Some strange choices admittedly.

[kayce]

I got my entry in last minute... I was picking really quick, sorry if I mess up the team! lol.

[Sallydaisy]

Glad to have you in the team Kayce!!! :thumbup:

Cincy is notorious for some shocking results so whatever you've done will probably be alright.
:)

[xenon21]

By the way, I joined up as well yesterday.As usual, I will probably do crap!

[janeInScotland]

I'm not on the list. :cry: Sorry guys. :sad:

What's happened? I filled in the form at the weekend & printed it out - maybe I didn't click the right button at the end.

(I'm on a Library computer & don't have the printed copy with me. I'll log in again on Friday.)

[Sallydaisy]

Jane - I'll leave a PM for Steven for you in am.com.
I suspect it's likely to be too late for you to send in another form on Friday.
It's only 3 weeks to the US Open and another big pick'em contest so I hope you entry will be fine for that.
We NEED YOU to join the jm.org team!!!:thumbup:

[Michael]

We have moved up to 4th and we could move up to 2nd after the final with only am.com in front of us.

[JAMES4579]

Well done everyone!

[kayce]

2nd place! Great results team!:yahoo:

As a member of TAT as well, I think this gives me some bragging rights:P

[Michael]

Well Done Guys.

2nd Place, what a fantastic result.

:highfive::highfive::yahoo::thumbup::thumbup:

[JAMES4579]

Yes, a great result for us:swingin::swingin::thumbup::thumbup: Well done Xenon for being the best on here. I think I wasn't too far behind.

[janeInScotland]

Well done team jm.org. Sorry I wasn't part of it (but maybe I'd have dragged you down). Thanks Sally & Stephen for looking for my entry. I reckon I forgot to submit it after printing it. :sad:

I'm looking forward to the USO pick 'em. :)

[LadyTigress]

Well, I did Cincy for Andy's forum, I'll be pleased to do the USO for Jamie's forum.

[janeInScotland]

Good to have you with us for the USO, Lady Tigress.

I'll take more care to submit my pick 'em this time.

[NorthernLights]

If it's ok to switch teams, I'll join Jamie's too. I didn't do Cincy or Toronto, because I thought the Pick'ems only ran for the Slams. Live and learn!

[janeInScotland]

I thought it would be useful to havea copy of this here (from andy's site)US OPEN PICK 'EM - FACTSHEET

The US Open pick 'em will get under way in just over a week's time.

IMPORTANT DATES

The approximate timetable for the US Open pick 'em is:

Mon. 18 Aug 00.00 GMT (1 a.m. UK) - entries open for those who need to enter early with semi-'blind' picks - see the end of this post (*)

Thu. 21 Aug 22.00 GMT (11 pm UK) - main draw takes place

Fri. 22 Aug by early morning (UK) - main draw available on the entry form

Sat. 23 Aug by early morning (UK) - qualifiers placed in the draw on the entry form (unless the end of qualifying is delayed by rain)

Mon. 25 Aug 15.00 GMT (4 pm UK / 11 am US Eastern) - entries close

Emails appropriate to the notification option selected by past entrants will be sent out at the relevant time to those who have asked for them.

(*) ENTERING EARLY WITH 'BLIND' PICKS

If you are interested in your overall pick 'em ranking, it is fairly vital to take part in the slam pick 'ems, since you can count your ranking point score from each slam pick 'em up to two times, so the entry form is already available at http://www.britishtennis.net/Competitions.html.

If you will be unable to enter after the main draw comes out, please feel free to fill in the entry form early to ensure that you get some ranking points from Wimbledon. If you do this, you will know where Fed & Rafa will be in the draw (assuming they both play) and which other slots will contain seeds, but otherwise you will be picking 'blind'.

So, please don't enter now unless you know that you will not have Internet access between Friday 25 morning and Monday 28 early afternoon UK. However, in that case picking virtually blind now might be better than nothing - at least you will have a pick 'em interest in some of the matches when you get back and a chance to score some ranking points - as far as your overall ranking is concerned, the worst your entry can do is become one of your non-counting scores, so there is nothing to lose by entering.

N.B. If you want to enter like this, please choose the team you would normally play for so that can be used for overall ranking purposes, but you will appear as an Independent on the US Open tables and, for this event only, your score will not count towards a team, though you should still select your usual team on the entry form.

[Sallydaisy]

That Steven needs a rap on the knuckles........ I'm sure he posted in this forum directly last time. :shades:

However, he's forgiven 'cos he does so much hard work on the Pick'ems.:thumbup:

Thanks Jane - it's good to see the whole set of information in here!!!
:flowers:

Hopefully it'll inspire a huge turnout for jm.org.!!!

[janeInScotland]

there's a few promised new jm.org's

[janeInScotland]

The qualifiers are now on the entry form (http://www.britishtennis.net/pickem/pickemef%20128.htm?n=1).

0 entries in team JM so far.

I'm bumping this up so that we all see it in iSpy :)

[Sallydaisy]

Thanks Jane.

I'll be doing mine at dead of night tonight.................
:bigsmile:

[LadyTigress]

I entered for JM.org :cheer:

[janeInScotland]

great.

I'm just working through mine. There seem to be a few unfortunate same country matches in R1 - Blake/Young, Grosjean/Mathieu delPotro/Canas.

[NorthernLights]

It's nearly my bedtime, I'm the worse for a glass of wine, and I've sent my entry in. :p

I think it's fair to say I might have gone with my heart rather than my head this time. No prizes for guessing who I put as the winner then! :D

[janeInScotland]

let's hope you are right :wink:

[Sallydaisy]

I'm in for jm.org.........:peace:

[LadyTigress]

My entry definitely isn't based entirely on logic, and includes a good dose of gut feeling.

[tennis_queen2008]

Heya can somebody explain to me how this works please as im new on here.
Cheers

[NorthernLights]

Hi, tennis queen and welcome to the site! I'm pretty new to the Pick'ems too. If you just follow the link to britishtennis.net/competitions (http://www.britishtennis.net/Competitions.html) you can see everyone's individual and team results by following the relevant links. It's too late to enter for the US Open, but you could join in for the next Pick'em, which will be the next Masters tournament. You just fill in the entry form by deciding which player you think will win each match. It's really straightforward and is loads of fun!

[jm-fan]

Hey - I'm 5th in the list - it must be beginner's luck as this is my first pick 'em. I'm enjoying the moment - it probably won't last long. :)

Team JM is 8th.

[JAMES4579]

I take full responsibility for our predicament as having a disaster and now outside top 400! Many of my upsets have not come off, though didn't think I was being that reckless. Should I be banished to exile!:rolling: Maybe being the 2nd ranked jm.orger in Cinicinnati will save me!

[janeInScotland]

Just thought I'd note what's happening, half-way through the semi-finals.

Team JM is 10th of 13 (team AM is 3rd).

I won't comment on the KO as I'm not sure if we are 15th or 16th & I don't know how there are 16 there and only 13 in the list. :confused:

Of our 14 members I'm top - but about to go down as I had Nole to win. The next 3 (Jambondusoleil, jm-fan & SarahEva) all have Rafa .... who knows?
Then come kayce (Nole), Claire Morris (Rafa), NorthernLights (Andy), Michael (Rafa), KatieK & esther (Fed), JAMES4578 & Fitz (Nole), sallydaisy (Fed) and LadyTigress (Rafa).

[JAMES4579]

Looks like the team may not do too well if Andy wins then and looks like I could lose both my finalists if as I desperately hope Andy finishes off Rafa.

[kayce]

James, if we exiled people, we wouldn't have much of a team left! And we are in it for the fun, right? lol.

[janeInScotland]

What an awful dilemma - Andy or the JM team - it has to be Andy doesn't it.

If Andy beats Rafa I've lost both my finalists but I'll be very happy. :swingin: A win-win situation. :)

[janeInScotland]

James, if we exiled people, we wouldn't have much of a team left! And we are in it for the fun, right? lol.

How do we persuade more to join the JM team? It's surprisingly easy to do pick 'em and I'm sure there are members out there who could strengthen (at least lengthen) the JM team. :)

[NorthernLights]

:rolling:

I think it's fair to say I lengthened it without really strengthening it! But I have got Andy to win. :bigsmile: Fingers crossed!

[patmoren]

I might have a go at this next year. I only plucked up the courage to do the ones on Jamies and Andys sites halfway through this year so am new to the predictions game. may need some help when it gets going next year.

[janeInScotland]

Just a reminder that the pick'em for Paris (http://www.britishtennis.net/competitions.html) closes at 13.30 GMT = 1.30 pm UK on Sunday. Below is a copy of Steven's post on Andy's site.

PARIS AMS 'BATTLE OF THE BOARDS' PICK 'EM

The main draw for Paris AMS took place earlier today and the entry form for the Paris AMS pick 'em is now available via http://www.britishtennis.net/competitions.html

DEADLINE

The main draw starts on Sunday afternoon. Taking into account this and the fact that the clocks go back on Sunday morning in Europe but NOT in North America, entries will close at 13.30 GMT = 1.30 pm UK = 14.30 CET = 9.30 am US EDT on SUNDAY.

MATCHES INVOLVING QUALIFIERS As for Madrid, qualifying does not finish until after the main draw starts, so everyone will have to pick matches involving qualifiers without knowing who each qualifier is - which means most of the top quarter in R1, since 5 of the 6 qualifiers will end up there!

All you can do for these matches is decide whether you would expect the other player in the match to beat a random qualifier, though there is also a Q v Q match in R1 this time, so I hope you're feeling lucky. :wink:

PARIS AMS - ALWAYS A BIT OF A LOTTERY TO PREDICT and this year probably won't be an exception!
You may be interested to know that after pulling out of St Petersburg with a wrist injury, Kolya Davydenko said: "I'm flying to Germany tomorrow to have a few days' rest. I'll try to play in Paris if I can," he said. "I'd like to start my first match there on Wednesday at the earliest but if they say I have to play on Tuesday, then I would have to withdraw."

As if he could tell back then whether Tuesday or Wednesday would make difference, eh? Add to that the fact that he has already qualified for TMC and you'll have to decide for yourselves how much credence to put in that. What's the betting he either pulls out in R1 or wins the tournament (it'll be whichever option we haven't chosen, naturally!)

Of course, the top four have already qualified for TMC as well and one or two of them might be wanting to conserve energy for it, so expect your picks to mess you around at every opportunity and you won't get too disappointed. :wink:

RACE FOR YEAR-END NO. 1 There could be quite a battle for year-end pick 'em no. 1 here if those in contention do a bit (ok, a lot!) better than they did in Madrid!

ATP BC If you enter the ATP Bracket Challenge as well, please note that entries for that close an hour earlier - they seem to think the clocks in North America change this Sunday too, but I'm sure they don't change there until the weekend after!

GOOD LUCK! (you'll probably need it ...) :wink:

[Linda]

I've entered for am.com as usual. Though as I've made a lot of very strange picks they may want to offload me! :rolling:

[JAMES4579]

James, if we exiled people, we wouldn't have much of a team left! And we are in it for the fun, right? lol.

Kayce, I was jesting of course! Missed the last pick 'em but shall ensure I do Paris shortly!

[rondun]

I've remembered to get my entry in this time.

And i'd like to take this opportunity to apologise in advance to the rest of team jm!

[kayce]

I actually remembered to get mine in on time this week! lol.

[JAMES4579]

Yes same here, made sure I done it on Saturday night!

[janeInScotland]

We have 17 in our Paris pick 'em team.

We're 4th and are ahead of am.com :cheer: -though to be fair they're 5th. Kayce and KatieK are our highest placed (joint 9th with lots of others on 22 points).

Full update at http://andymurray.com/forum/showthread.php?p=125428#post125428 in posts 464/5 (or later posts if you're reading this after results come in tomorrow).

[RoastLamb]

Go KatieK and Kayce!!! :swingin::swingin::swingin:

[janeInScotland]

We've gone down to 9th and are one below am.com.

Kayce and KatieK are still our highest placed (joint 14th with lots of others on 40 points).

Full update at http://andymurray.com/forum/showthread.php?p=125428#post125428 in posts 545/6 (maybe later posts if you're reading this after results come in tomorrow).

[janeInScotland]

We've gone down to 11th (or should I say bottom) with am.com at 10th. (we must have something in common).

KatieK is still our highest placed at 24th (55 points) followed by Fitz at 31st (54 points).

We can only go up :)

Full update at http://andymurray.com/forum/showthread.php?p=126421#post126421 in posts 604/5 (maybe later posts if you're reading this after results come in tomorrow).

[JAMES4579]

Think I'm one of the ones pulling you down, wheras I was more savy in the Bracket challenge!

[janeInScotland]

We've gone up to 10th, swapping places with am.com who are now bottom.

5 of them and 4 of us have one SF player. 3 of them have Tsonga as RU, whereas their other 2 and our 4 don't have the semi-finalist progressing to the final (we had 3 Tsonga, 1 Blake). Our 4 with a SF are Fitz, Jambondusoleil, James4578 and jm-fan.

Fitz is now our highest placed at 21st, Jambondusoleil is 35th and KatieK 45th.

I fear we can only go down - it rather depends on Tsonga.

Full update at http://andymurray.com/forum/showthread.php?p=127249#post127249 and, of course at 'Battle of the Boards' Pick 'em Competitions (http://www.britishtennis.net/Competitions.html) .

[janeInScotland]

We've slipped to bottom - and I don't think there's any way this will change.

Fitz, Jambondusoleil, KatieK all slipped down 7 places. The rest of us either stayed the same or slipped down 1 to 4 places.

[Linda]

No, it can't change now. Only 3 people picked Tsonga or Nalbandian to win, the lowest of those is at 35 and none of them are in jm.com.

[JAMES4579]

Obviously very disappointing but glad to see some doing well!

[NorthernLights]

I always seem to start off ok in round 1, then begin my downward spiral half way through round 2. I had Tsonga going out in the 2nd round or something! :shocked:

My objective for next year is simply to try to enter every Pick'em! :bigsmile:

[janeInScotland]

pick 'em for AO will be up this weekend :thumbup:

Here's what steven says about it

link to thread on Andy's site (http://andymurray.com/forum/showthread.php?p=162688#post162688)

AUS OPEN 2009 'BATTLE OF THE BOARDS' PICK 'EM

Still not quite sure where the time to do this is going to magically appear from, but we'll manage it somehow :smile: - this is just a reminder that entries for this competition will open on Friday sometime after the main draw comes out. Qualifiers are likely to be placed by early afternoon on Saturday and entries will close at 23.30 GMT on Sunday.

Entries will be capped at 500 (auto entry for the top 250 in the rankings, first come first served for the rest) and there's an outside chance we might actually have to apply that cap this time.

Main URL: http://www.britishtennis.net/Competitions.html (with apologies to LT! :wink:)

At the AO, "Novak" ASE from AM.com will be defending his AO pick 'em title (see http://www.britishtennis.net/pickem/2008ao.htm?n=1), MensTennisForums the 'Battle of the Boards' teams league title, BT.net the team KO title and Rafa "Wendy" Nadal from AM.com and Centre Court Forum will be trying to hold onto the world no. 1 individual and team positions that they held at the end of last year - http://www.britishtennis.net/pickem/ranking.htm?n=1

Given the long gap since the last pick 'em, there are probably quite a few newbies on this forum who will have no idea what I'm talking about - would anyone like to give them an idea of why it's fun to take part? :smile:

- good luck to our team JamieMurray.org. We were 9th last year - but I think a lot of us only started during the year and so didn't even have 7 tournaments (the 7 best count).

[janeInScotland]

Just to remind you to enter the pick 'em at http://www.britishtennis.net/Competitions.html.

I've entered so the JamieMurray.org has at least one member though its showing 0 on the "entries so far" page.

Edit: jm-fan and minnie me have also entered - so we have a team of 3 - more to come I hope

[RoastLamb]

Both my darlings play for Jamie's site. We won't be doing our forms until tomorrow afternoon though. One of 'em is picking Andy to win, t'other Djokovic.

[JAMES4579]

I will be entering for jm.org again and hopefully I will bring a positive input!

[Michael]

Just to confirm I have entered for JM again.:clap::cheer:

[rondun]

I've entered with jm.org again - so apologies once more!

I'll try and make sure I enter at least 7 pickems this year, though

[smitty]

I'm doing mine right now.

[charlie coo]

I'm going to have a go!!!

:eek:

[Michael]

I'm glad to see we have moved up to 3rd place.:clap::cheer:

However, still 7 matches to finish.

[NorthernLights]

Oh, hecky thump. My picks are rubbish! :shamed:

Still, it was good seeing all the blue "AndyM to win" selections. :bigsmile:

[janeInScotland]

We're 8th in the table (above am/com at 10th).

Only MICHAEL (AM) is in the top 20 (at 12th), esther, kayce and KatieK are in the top 100 (29,49,74).

All but 2 of us had Andy to win (2 for Fed).

In the Team KO competition we're in the 5th-6th place play-off (am.com is 13th-14th playoff).

[Fitzy]

Well I'm assured to finish way down now that Andy went out. Sorry guys - my bracket was awful. :cry: :shamed:

[janeInScotland]

We finished 11th in the table (above am/com at 14th). In the Team KO competition we were 6th and am.com were 14th.

MICHAEL (AM) was our leading player at 30th. Esther was just in the top 100 (91st). Well done to them :swingin: (& to us all) :clap:

In the overall rankings the team has gone up one to 8th. Michael (AM) is 44th, kayce 63rd, Fitz 97th and quite a lot of us are in the 100's

full list here (http://www.britishtennis.net/pickem/ranking.htm?n=1)

[JAMES4579]

Well done jm.org:swingin: Particularly well done Michael and Esther plus Kayce and Matt in the overall rankings and all those doing well!

[Michael]

Congrats jm.org.

[Sallydaisy]

It's pick'em time again everyone.

Hope you've all got your entries in........ deadline is 2pm tomorrow Wednesday!

:swingin::swingin::swingin:

[Michael]

I've entered under jm.org as usual. I found choosing harder this time for some reason.

[patmoren]

Sorry I haven't got into this one, must try sometime.
I went and had a look but 95 predictions is beyond me!!!!

[janeInScotland]

It's a lot easier, Pat, if you do the ATP comp as well - that lets you hover over a player & see his ranking, ytd win/loss etc - and you can see H2H for the 2 players. Once you've done that (and you can quickly choose the higher ranked player where you don't have a favourite) - its easy to copy into the pick 'em.

[patmoren]

I believe you millions wouldn't!!

[janeInScotland]

The JM team were 3rd in the Miami pick 'em :yahoo::swingin: - the AM team were 4th for Miami.

9 Claire Morris
10 minnie me

70 Fitx

91 jm-fan
100+ rondun, KatieK, JAMES4578, SarahEva, Sallydaisy, smittty8

well done us

We're 8th of 18 in the verall rankings - I think this is partly because some of us aren't yet up to 7 countable tournaments but ...

We need more players - its such a lottery so the more of us the better.

[Michael]

Well Done and Congratulations Everyone.

Now we can look forward to Rome..................................:yahoo:

Brilliant performance from Team jm.org :yahoo: .... don't worry, I won't change sides - given my recent performances you definitely don't want me dragging you down :rolling:

[NorthernLights]

Not a very glorious start to my Wimbledon Pick'em. I think I'm doomed!

I see Minnie Me's heading the jm.org rankings - again! Clearly she going to have a sparkling career as a tennis pundit - Sue Barker should be up for retirement at just the right time. I wouldn't worry about putting money aside for your pension, HFW, you'll be living in the lap of luxury by then! :wink:

I am pretty chuffed, having done pretty badly in this lately! I also noticed that I beat everyone playing for am.com! Still great am.com won the team comp if we couldn't and a good result for us in 3rd!

[rondun]

Thanks for making up for my poor effort James - I think I did better for team JM when I missed the 2 previous pickems!
My ATP bracket for Montreal was not that bad, so I'm going to see if I can remember what I did different and try and repeat it - I don't want to finish behind Sally, sorry, I mean so close to the Gorillas again!

[Sallydaisy]

Just had to post this for Fitzy!!!
It's from the BT.net competitions page - and he's headline news..........

Full results pages still some way off, but after 16 matches Fitz of jamiemurray.org leads on his own on 14/16. about 2 hours ago (http://twitter.com/botb1/statuses/3674984534)

[JAMES4579]

Fantastic Matt, keep it up!

[janeInScotland]

fantastic, Fitzy - hope it lasts :thumbup:

[Sallydaisy]

Our top player after yesterday is LindaB who shot up 35 places to 28th in the individual table so well done to her.
:thumbup:
I'm afraid I had Roddick going through to the Final so his Round 3 loss on Saturday ensures I'm bringing up the rear.
:shamed:

Here's the full jm.org individual placings...........I've added in the robots so we can see just how helpful, or not, following their pick's could be.

5 Roberta the Robot made her picks assuming that the higher-ranked player (as at the entry closing time) would win every match
23 Ceres - at the US Open, Ceres picks like Roberta but based on the results of the US Open Series
28 lindab 28
60 Racy Racy - picked like Roberta but used the notional ATP Race rankings
67 jm.fan 67
78 JIS
84 Minnie Me (erm........ her Mum, Hfwardhouse, is at 138)
90 Average Joe - picked the player picked by the most entrants to win each match
107 Billy the Bookie - so we can see how good they are
162 Rondun
173 Michael
193 Claire Thompson
202 Kayce
293 Scooter
303 Northern Lights
319 Fitzy
367 James 4578
375 Homer - the autobot who goes for the Home team every pick. Roddick's loss has cost him dear........
375 Sallydaisy
377 Kingkong - pick'em numpty and Chief banana tester



Here's the Teams Table so we can see how jm.org is faring in the Pick'em.

I think I'm letting everyone down too and had Roddick as a semi finalist! Looks like my top 10 showing last time was a bit of a fluke!

[janeInScotland]

I think I had Roddick in the SF (or even further) - I'll check later.

later: I had Roddick as a losing SF :( - but I did have Soderling getting to the QF :thumbup:

[janeInScotland]

thanks Sally

I see that: 8 of us have winner = Rafa
2 of us have winner = Potty
2 of us had.. winner = A-Rod
1 of us has.. winner = Nole

PS I'm going off this "indent" tool - it adds too many blank lines

[Fitzy]

I'm sorry guys - the one time I pick Roddick to win a tournament, is the one time he incurs a bad injury in his first match. :cry:

[janeInScotland]

After 52 matches jm.org is 3rd on the Leaderboard (up 1) :thumbup:

Just the semis and final to go. Semis are: Nadal vs Lopez and Davydenko vs Djokovic

[Sallydaisy]

JM.org might finish top of the table....................
:)

According to Steven this is how.
JM will win with GR 2nd & BT 3rd if Rafa reaches the Final as long as he doesn't lose it to Nole.So, that means we need Rafa to win tomorrow and Davy to beat Nole.
:shades:

[janeInScotland]

would be be okay if Rafa won the final beating Nole?

[Sallydaisy]

As I understand it we need Rafa to be in the Final.
If he faces Nole then Rafa needs to win it for us to come out top.
If he faces Davy or Loppy and either of them beat him I think we'd still come out top.
It seems quite complicated and is based on percentage picks; Steven has made a more full explanation in the thread on am.com.

I suppose we shall have to watch this space!!!
Rafa will be tired - his match didn't finish until 11pm Shanghai time and his Semi starts at 8pm tomorrow evening.

[Linda]

Vamos Rafa! :swingin:

[janeInScotland]

dilemma - I have Nole winning it - but maybe I'd forgo that to have jm.org topping the table :confused:

[Sallydaisy]

Go jm.org!!! Top of the Table with only the Final to play!!!

Thanks Sally.

Fantastic.

Oh dear poor hfwardhouse................:grouphug:. Next time..............

[Sallydaisy]

Per Steven ..................... I missed seeing it earlier!
Congrats also to JamieMurray.org, who have won the teams comp (none of the team positions can change any more),

Awesome performance from the rest of you; sorry I made my usual trip to the gorillas cage.

[janeInScotland]

Brilliant :grouphug: :surfing: :rainbow: :yahoo:

btw no-one's letting the team down - we've won despite one or two low scores - we'd only have won by a bigger margin if they'd been higher

We WON, so :rainbow: we're all winners :rainbow:

[jm-fan]

wow, great, ... :yahoo: - hope we can do it again :thumbup:

[Sallydaisy]

Well, well, well ......... Davydenko beat Nadal in the Final.

I doesn't affect the final placings according to botb twitter (http://twitter.com/botb1)!!!


jamiemurray.org & banskogirl (AM) have won Shanghai BOTB whatever happens in the Final.about 18 hours ago (http://twitter.com/botb1/status/4947486987) from web

Fed's just lost to Benneteau - only 4 of us had him to win (but I guess most of us have him getting to semis at least).

3 of us have Rafa and 6 Andy as winner.

LindaB'll go down - she's picking on rankings.
