Prediction Challenge: Week of 011110

[dryrunguy]

Everyone, I wanted to let you know about a minor tweak we need to make in our new process for posting the Prediction Challenge Web forms.

The qualifiers presented some unanticipated problems this week. So beginning with the week of 011110, we will not be publishing the brackets until the qualifiers have been placed in the draw. If this presents a problem for you because of travel plans or whatever, let me know and we'll try to work out a solution.

So we'll post this week's brackets as soon as we possibly can after the qualifiers have been placed in the respective draws.

Also, please keep in mind that this week's deadlines may be earlier than usual because it's the week before a major and there were Sunday starts for main draw play. We'll post the deadline for each event as soon as it is available.

Thanks for your flexibility and understanding!

[dryrunguy]

This contest is temporarily closed to new participants.

We have four events to predict this week--Sydney and Auckland for the ATP, and Sydney and Hobart for the WTA.

Per the opening post in this thread, we will post the brackets as soon as we can after the qualifiers have been placed (e.g., they're still playing qualifying matches in ATPAUCKLAND, so that won't be ready until Tuesday morning). We'll also update the brackets as quickly as possible prior to the deadlines. In addition, we will post the deadlines associated with each event as soon as they are available.

If you have any questions or problems, please let us know via the TATi Technical Assistance Center (http://www.talkabouttennis.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15913).

Monday afternoon? Holy schnikes!

I just did the Hobart predictions, I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't get a single point for it. Total crapshoot.:rolleyes:

Please, I'm defending Perfect Loser points here from last year, so back off missy.

I just did the Hobart predictions, I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't get a single point for it. Total crapshoot.:rolleyes:

And you actually found Syndey easier??? I was completely baffled by both of them! Plus, you don't know if those who played last week and are playing this week are at any given point going to say, "Well, I feel good... I've had enough!" And bail on the event.

I really hate the week before a major. Hate. Hate. Hate. It.

Are you saying I'll only have the second lowest score for this tournament? Yay:)

Third lowest... I'm betting kirkus will forget to sumbit them. ;)

We're doomed

Okay that's worse than my almost Bond Sisters final (and I like the Bonds!) :hyst:

[missinandre]

You guys are SO encouraging! :(

[missinandre]

That was so awful. I was thisclose to having a Cornet-Peer final :shocked:

I'm thrilled :) I picked two of my favorites for a final for Hobart! Cornet / Dokic battle it out for the final!

Watch me get nopoints at ALL for these predictions!

Really?? I don't understand you guys/gals. I thought the picks were all pretty stright-forward. I'll be surprised if I don't get at least one perfect score for the WTA this week.

Without looking at my email I think I picked a Zheng Peer final with Cornet as a semifinalist :o

Ok now that I check Cornet and Zheng are in same quarter...but still. Agree that it's a crapshoot, but WTA crapshoots are where I do best (especially ones without top 20 players! Or top 40 is even better.)

[Foxykhat]

I'm honestly now feeling with all that's going on with me presently, thinking I could do predictions was a wrong decision.

These weeks before a major are always nutty. Don't let it get you down. ATP picks are due tomorrow. You can do it.

[dryrunguy]

Here are the WTA picks for this week:

[Foxykhat]

I never had to chance to read, but can we edit picks with this new system? And if so. How?

Also am I the only one that gets just one email with my picks? Is that how it should be done? I'll admit I've never taken the chance to read the email so I have no clue if each event is included.

You cannot edit, but you can resubmit your picks. Just fill out the bracket again and resubmit with your TAT username and a valid email address (no msn, and no.... crap, I can't remember... either yahoo or hotmail I think... can't find the specifics anywhere... stay tuned).

You should get a confirmation email for each tournament for which you submit predictions. If you do not, something is wrong. But we can sort it out. For example, for tomorrow's two ATP events, you should receive two confirmation emails, assuming your username is accurate entered and you provide a valid email address.

Also, if you don't receive all of your confirmations, check your junk mail folder. Adding predictions@talkabouttennis.com to your contact list should help prevent this. (But I actually prefer that my TAT prediction emails land in my junk folder. It's easier to separate from the nutcases at the office.)

Thanks Dry. I'll resubmit if I have time later or tomorrow before SOP. I guess I needed to ask because today for the first time I've received for both ATP tournaments. Like I said before I was only receiving one and I did check my junk etc like you mentioned. Maybe I might have been messing up on my email addy, I'm kinda slow so that's to be expected.

Thanks again

I got 2! And I lost my finalist and one of my winners just got bageled! :cheesy:

I lost both losing finalists! Woo hoo! I wish I could be excited about both of my predicted winners still being in tact, but one hasn't played yet and the other only wins majors, which Sydney is not... So...

[oohsalmon]

With all this amazing automation, is there any way we could elect to have deadlines emailed to us when they're set? They can be hard to keep track of.

I love this system. So easy. So fast.

Unbelievable - I've missed more deadlines - I haven't got a single prediction in yet this year! :(

[3mlm]

Unbelievable - I've missed more deadlines - I haven't got a single prediction in yet this year! :(

The down under deadlines for me are 4:00 pm the day before the round of 16 play. I have to predict before 7:45 am that day when I leave for work since I can't be sure I'll be able to get home for lunch and won't get home from work until after 5:00 pm.

Not easy and I've already missed Hopman Cup and WTA Brisbane.

[Togtdyalttai]

Ahhhh yes... I took the same road with much hesitation, but I just couldn't see Elena winning it, specially with her play of late.

After.

ATP Deadlines

Auckland is at 11 AM local time (5 PM USA EST)

Sydney is at 11 AM local time (7 PM USA EST)

[dryrunguy]

Monfils has withdrawn from Syndey and will be replaced by Gimeno-Traver.

We will provide an updated bracket as soon as I figure out how to do it. LOL!

If you've already submitted your Syndey picks and had Monfils winning any matches, you will have to resubmit your picks using the new bracket in order to receive points.

I THINK this has been done. I only hope I did it properly and that TATi will compute the scores correctly. Otherwise, we may have to throw the ATP Sydney scores out. :o

It looks good anyway! Drop-shot spotted it first, then I noticed I had done the bracket with Monfils in it...

[dryrunguy]

Elisa says I did it right, so I think we're good to go!

Again, if you've already submitted picks with Monfils, you will need to resubmit using the revised bracket to receive points.

i had Monfils going deep

[Kirkus]

Thank you, Dry.

[dryrunguy]

You're welcome, guys. :)

I somehow ended up with Ferrero and Gasquet winning. How insane is that? At least it will go nicely with my disasterous WTA picks. Have I mentioned how much I hate predictions the week before a major?

I flirted with both of those winning. I backed out of Ferrero at the last second. I left Gasquet in the semis.

[patrick]

I took Berdych and Kohlschreiber.

That Gasquet pick of Dry's is looking better. :lipsrsealed:

[winston]

Question about the thread that shows our picks for the week. I've been having trouble finding it without going back through this thread, page by page, so I bookmarked it. My question is, will that same thread be updated for each week, or will a new one be created? I know there's probably an easier way to do this, so I'm open to learning about that too. Thanks.

[mmmm8]

I get exactly what I deserve for picking Berdych to win this.

Dry, maybe it's time to institute a system like the ATP's and WTA's with a limited numbers of tournaments counting. Or else maybe we can just pretend this week never happened?

[elisat]

Wow, we should have added a health warning in the brackets header :shocked:

Really?? I don't understand you guys/gals. I thought the picks were all pretty stright-forward. I'll be surprised if I don't get at least one perfect score for the WTA this week.

Okay, I'll have to be honest with you all. I think I may have missed on one or two of my picks already. In fact, I may be closer to a perfect losing score.

I almost lost Melzer, too.

What a cluster.

I knew that the only direction for me was down. But I didn't thinklit was going to be at that speed. I have less than half of my semifinalists left :shocked:

I'm doing WAY better in the WTA. Laughably better.

[atlpam]

I'm always leery of a previous week's winner/finalist playing a tournament the week before a major - classic case to pull out or lose early in order to get some rest.

[shtexas]

What a mess. Oh well, the contest is still fun...especially now, with TATi. I love simply clicking choices.

[Moose]

I think this was the first week I did not pick Phillip to win a tournament since prior to IW '08. But I'll gladly spend the season in the TATi cellar if it gets him into the Top 20.

I think it is just me that jinxes him. I'll just have to swoon over him in private avoid putting him in finals all year, and then he and I can have a laugh over it at Indian Wells :)

Only the women can save the week.

[ptmcmahon]

One point from my four ATP finalists. Awesome! Wonder if I'll hit double digits...for both tournaments :)

[dryrunguy]

Is there anyone who's NOT getting completely cooked this week?

[ptmcmahon]

Didin't someone have Gasquet winning? And there are probably some that at least took Lleyton as a finalist.

[dryrunguy]

I took Gasquet! His draw was soft and I thought there was a decent chance that Wawrinka would say, "I've had enough preparation for Melbourne." Plus Lleyton was a bit in doubt.

It was still a pretty dumb pick, though. :o The chances of him closing the deal are pretty slim, but I'd love to see him do it.

You are picking Gasquet so I don't have to jinx him by choosing him. I am picking Kohlschreiber so Moose doesn't have to jinx him by choosing him. Now, Moose is going to have to pick ___________, so you don't have to jinx him or her by making the choice.

I picked him too, but more out of a process of elimination, although I have him over Hewitt. It should compensate for only scoring 4 points in Auckland, where I had Ferrer and Ferrerro in the final :o

About 4 years ago or so, I got 1 point for an event... The only thing that saved me was Ivan Ljubicic, who was the last match up that day and managed to win. Beat that.

No, I can't, definitely. I have a grand total of 10 points (and have no players left) for ATP this week :cheesy:

I had him winning, in fact. Which is why he lost as soon as you posted this.

The only possible savior for me in the ATP is Phillip. (Same first name as me, except that I spell it the correct way, with one "L" :) )

I still have my girl Shahar, and Elena

As for my ATP, I am done, too.
