Basically, this is a change from the Sweepstake I run for every tennis Grand Slam, it'll require a little more effort from you guys, but it'll only last two weeks at a time, as I'll only run them every Grand Slam (the other smaller tournaments will be ridiculously time consuming)

I had a few comments that people didn't think my other Sweepstakes were worthy of a TiBB Award so I'm stepping it up and making it more of a skill game, you'll have to earn it!

Basically, when The Australian Open 2013 gets going and reached to the fourth round stage (final 32 people in each draw), I will allow you guys to predict the winner in each match, until the very end.

This is how it will work.. when it comes to the final 32 players in both the men's and women's draw all you'll have to do is predict the winner from each match and the number of sets it'll take for that player to win.

e.g. this is how the draw will look like....

Spoiler:

Player v. Player - Player wins in 2 sets
Player v. Player - Player wins in 2 sets
Player v. Player - Player wins in 3 sets
Player v. Player - Player wins in 2 sets

The Scoring:

2 pts - For every correctly identified winner in each match
5 pts - For every correctly identified winner in each match AND correct number of sets in match
Bonus 20 pts - Predicting the winner before this Prediction Game gets underway. (10 points for each correctly predicted Champion)

Members:
Women's Draw winner wins this award:
Male's Draw winner wins this award:

I'll keep tally for both during the game.

N/B: THIS IS THE AUSTRALIAN OPEN AND DUE TO TIME DIFFERENCE, THE MAJORITY OF MATCHES WILL BE PLAYED OVER NIGHT/IN THE EARLY HOURS OF GREENWICH MEANTIME SO GET YOUR PREDICTIONS IN DURING THE DAY TO AVOID MISSING OUT ON POINTS.
