[Lee.]

Ah right well add me then please. :)

[Niamh.]

3?

[Niamh.]

I don't know how to play, actually can I be 5 instead, that's my favourite number

[Marc]

Niamh you'll just be assigned one player from the men's seeds and one player from the women's seeds. And then it's all down to how they perform :D

EDIT: It doesn't matter what number you pick it'll be randomly assigned

[Wildcat!]

[Marc]

Seriously why isn't 1-5 coming up for the men!? This randomiser hates us. :joker:

[Wildcat!]

When somebody loses a player they get a replacement until all the names are taken.

:bouncy:

[Chuck]

-adds IheartBB to my controversy list-

[Marc]

:joker:

[Marc]

11 people needed. Anybody just say 'add me' or I'll start banning people :idc:

[Marc]

:suspect:

[BigSister]

ooh ill join

[Marc]

oh it seems out of no where you've seen this and put your name down

(thanks :tongue:)

[Wildcat!]

Watching Tsonga now! Dangerous dangerous player He is playing really well. Darkhorse!!

By the way, can we make substitutions, if you dont get all the players!! :D
My team just blows! :(

[Wildcat!]

Daamn!!! Some good players left. (Nadal, Federer, Ferrer, Fish) (LI, Schiavone, Peng Serena)! Id take any of them for mine! :D
Whoever signs up late, will have a better team than most of us! LOL! :)r

[Marc]

Well I'm thinking that as soon as somebody loses a player they will be reassigned until they are all gone. Otherwise nodody will win :laugh:

[Marc]

Jen hits big... kinda

[Wildcat!]

Well I'm thinking that as soon as somebody loses a player they will be reassigned until they are all gone. Otherwise nodody will win :laugh:

Yeah, thats A GOOd idea. So, your cut off time, must be at the end of the first round. then if you still got spots, you can draw for anyone who loses.

[Marc]

8 more left and Federer, Serena, Li Na, Azarenka still unclaimed (randomly unclaimed)

[Shaun]

I haven't at all been forced into this

[King Gizzard]

Oh go on then

[Wildcat!]

I haven't at all been forced into this

That sounds very sincere! :D

[Jords]

Go on then :)

[GypsyGoth]

Sign me up :D

[King Gizzard]

Hurry up ya douchebag

[Marc]

Updated.

Serena still up for grabs and Li Na

[King Gizzard]

Alexandr Dolgopolov

are you serious bro?

[Marc]

Tis the luck of the draw my friend.

[King Gizzard]

:suspect:

[Marc]

Updated with a few casualities

[Wildcat!]

how does the scoring work?

[Marc]

No scoring. Whoever has the winning male and female player gets a reward. I'm probably just going to award the Wimbledon one's to the winners; saves numerous awards being made

[Marc]

Due to the lack of bitches on here (I mean seriously, only 5 more people were needed; what is up with you people :hmph:)... those who have already lost a player have been given a replacement player who wasn't already picked.

The next two people to lose their male seed will be given either John Isner or Ivan Dodig as a replacement.

The next person to lose their female seed will have them replaced with Dominika Cibulkova.

Then it'll be down to just survivng..

[Wildcat!]

Fcuking Nathan!! :mad: :mad: :)

[Marc]

BigSis gets Cibulkova after Bartoli goes out in the 1st round.

[James]

As James and KG. are reigning champions from Wimbledon I've entered them into this sweepstake. (an on going rule I think would be good to apply)

None of the top.5 for the men have come up yet!

:dance: Was just to see if I could still enter this too.

[Marc]

:)

EDIT: A few more casualities.

No men lost as of yet so Isner and Dodig wont be taken today.

[BigSister]

Haha im out of the womens and mens im not very hopeful i have heard of monfils though.

[Marc]

Baltacha out :(

Monfils struggling. Break down in the final set

[Iceman]

Am I still in any of these?

[Iceman]

:dance: Was just to see if I could still enter this too.

if you win this you'll have a pair of balls.

[Marc]

Monfils out, 5 setter against 31 yo Juan Carlos Ferrero. Veteran still has it in him!

BigSis is the first casuality of this sweepstake.

[Marc]

Am I still in any of these?

6. Eoin - (Lopez, Zvonareva)

Yep! Both still in.

[Iceman]

:amazed: I have never hear of my players

[Marc]

A few more losses.

A lot more expected today with the 3rd round matches starting, which is usually when the seeded players first meet in the whole draw.

[Marc]

MeMyselfandI is out. Sowwi

[Marc]

joeysteele also goes out.

[Marc]

Good matches up today:

Federer v Cilic
Azarenka v Serena
Djokovic v Davydenko
Jankovic v Pavlychukova
Berdych v Tipsarevic
Tsonga v Verdasco

[Marc]

Soderling pulled out with a virus, meaning KG. is out. He won't be winning this again!

[Kate!]

Good matches up today:

Federer v Cilic
Azarenka v Serena
Djokovic v Davydenko
Jankovic v Pavlychukova
Berdych v Tipsarevic

[Marc]

I'm out of the sweepstake! :laugh:

[Maia]

*notices mine are still there*

:dance:

[Marc]

Only Mollie, Novo, Benjamin, Nathan and Jords left in the running for both male and female awards.

[Locke.]

Getting beat off Mollie :bored:

[Marc]

I havn't even given my female pick yet, i didn't kno we counted the females. Females arn't the REAl US open...

Serena isn't like many females :laugh:

[IheartBB]

*pointless brag post coming up*

I took part in a sweepstake on the USTA site when you have to name the winner of each match before the tournament starts. I'm not doing too well on the women's side (about 3,600th out of 7,500) but I'm doing ok on the mens. Currently 54th out of 11,000 :D I won't win, but maybe the TiBB sweepstake title will make up for it! :laugh: :p

[lostalex]

Serena isn't like many females :laugh:


The Williams' sisters seem to be on an illness kick lately.

Are eigther of them NOT dying of something this week? *rolls eyes*

[Marc]

Eoin out.

Mollie, Novo, Benjamin. the only three players left with both players.

[Marc]

James, Juan_Sheet eliminated.

Mollie loses her first player, her second is playing at the moment.

[Marc]

Shaun, *Kate*, seanraff, Mollie all out

Down to the final ten members, you all have one person left.

Odds are looking good for IheartBB, Nathan and Novo

[Marc]

Angeligue Kerber is a surprise semi-finalist in the womens draw. She could ruin this all! LOL

[Marc]

Updated.

Niamh and Ukturtle out.

[Kate!]

Aaah, I am out. Never mind. Good while it lasted. Good luck to all remaining. Thanks for doing this Marc :D

[MeMyselfAndI]

[Marc]

Oh.. :-/

They are all crossed out thats why! Maybe the snazzy move didn't work out well :tongue:

[Corkie]

Come on Wozniacki!!!

Yeh the first post looks quite odd for me as well.

[Marc]

Edited :)

[Marc]

Was supposed to look like this;

[Corkie]

Be funny if the unseeded Angelique Kerber wins resulting in no one winning the sweepstake for the women hahaha.

[Marc]

Be funny if the unseeded Angelique Kerber wins resulting in no one winning the sweepstake for the women hahaha.

LOL in that case I'll award myslef because I have done such an amazing job here :)

[Maia]

I beat Locke so I'm happy.

[Marc]

Novo or Nathan will win the womens and IheartBB or Jen will win the mens!

[Novo]

Time to beat Nathan

[Marc]

I'm just going to give the wimbledon awards to the winners of these :)

[Chuck]

Some random poster will win this :bored:

[Marc]

Who is the random poster?

[Chuck]

IheartBB

I have only seen him posting once or twice :hmph:

[MeMyselfAndI]

IheartBB

I have only seen him posting once or twice :hmph:

And Jen is too, she never posts on this forum now unless like Shaun asks her too.
So a guaranteed win for an unactive user D:

[IheartBB]

623 times actually :suspect:

[Marc]

IheartBB and Jen are big tennis fans and I welcome their participation in this game.

If you're going to get so p***y about a little award, when you only had a 1/26 chance of winning at the start then you should probably not participate next time.

[Corkie]

Ahhh man lost at semi-finals. :sad:

[MeMyselfAndI]

I'm not i was saying you cant just say "IheartBB" and leave "Jen" out as IheartBB is more active than Jen :hmph:

[Marc]

I don't get what you're getting at..

[Shaun]

jack, shut up. you sad child.

[Novo]

The greatest sweepstake win in the history of sweepstakes for her to beat serena in the final is even better

[Marc]

T'was a good win

[Marc]

It is over. Well done IheartBB and Novo (for being lucky :tongue:)

See you in January

[IheartBB]

Djokovic :worship:

Hope I'm this lucky in January!

[Marc]

Djokovic :worship:

Hope I'm this lucky in January!

I'll fix it to make you just Ljubicic :laugh:

[IheartBB]
