Tennis is back (again)!

The second Grand Slam event of the year Is Roland Garros (The French Open) and it begins on the 27th May 2012. I'm looking for 16 forum members to participate and once I have those 16 people you will all be allocated two men and two women tennis players.

This is just a little bit of fun and there is a little forum award that will be given out to the winners. You don't need to be a fan of tennis, you don't get to pick your players, you can just sign up and let the players do the rest of the hard work!

Everybody will be RANDOMLY allocated two seeded players for the tournament. It is hugely unlikely that a unseeded player will win the French Open this year, though that is a possibility, and if that rarity occurs the forum member with the player who gets the furthest will win. Defending Champions are IheartBB and Lee who won the Australian Open 2012 sweepstake in January.

Whoever gets the female winner wins this award:
Whoever gets the male winner wins this award:
