Once the Australian Open 2014 gets going and reaches the third round stage (final 64 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 64 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....

Player v. Player - Player wins in 2 sets

Player v. Player - Player wins in 3 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.
