Since Tennis Channel isn't doing one for Miami, we can play here. And they will be doing it on the ATP site for all of the remaining Master Series events

Already registered as TATpatrick. Got to fill out the bracket so I can score a few points.

FYI to everyone. Bracket picks are due by 9:00 a.m. Eastern time tomorrow. That's a couple of hours before start of play.

I'm in as TATdryrunguy. I couldn't see the full bracket for the final, so I hope it actually got my picks. :( I just kept clicking on the players, so I hope it recorded them.

Still not sure how I got Moya into the semis... :shocked:

Dry...there was a bar at the bottom you could slide to check that all your picks got it. It was kind of hard to see what you were doing in the last two rounds until you found that.

A lot of South Americans have to have their best Miami ever in order for me to win anything.

D'oh! Now I see it. They're there. Good thing. Thanks! I hope some other TATeurs play. Get with it, folks!

Took me a second, but at the bottom of the bracket you can scroll right.

Horrible Design.

TAToohsalmon has Roddick winning :hyst:.

[mmmm8]

I did not research this time. It doesn't look good for me.


Well, I researched one match - Santoro-Bjorkman. Interesting that in the combined 5465 years they have been on tour, they've only played each other in singles 4 times.

[GVGirl]

TATGVgirl. Who knows who I picked yesterday, be surprised. LOL I'm not winning anything anyway. I'm in it for fun.:)

[mysterX]

TATmysterX is in. Voted for an Aussie Open rematch, but I'm really hoping Fed will find his A game.

[suliso]

I am playing too (TATsuliso). Completely random picks with no research of any kind...

Nalby def Tsonga in the final :rolleyes:

With the way this year has developed, this final could happen.;)

Wow.



This is the first time ever I felt really insecure picking Federer to win a tournament.

[suliso]

This is the first time ever I felt really insecure picking Federer to win a tournament.

Me too. So I decided not to do it.

Last time I thought he would win and he didn't. May be the other way around this time :cool:

[nelslus]

OK, I've finally taken the TAT Kool-Aid.

I'm in as TATNelslus. So, you all now get to share my shame, after I do terribly with THIS bracket challenge. :mad:

[Scotty]

TATScotty is in. :cool:

TATScotty will win? :confused:

If so, TATScotty will spin! :freekingout:

[Danielle]

ROFL! Just don't hurt yourself! :)

I'm in too...TATDanielle.

[patrick]

Bump, 28 minutes to go

[patrick]

Wow.

Agree with you on that so I got Novak completing the IW/KB sweep beating Roger but will I do that in the prediction game later?

[patrick]

Horrible Design.

TAToohsalmon has Roddick winning :hyst:.


Agree on the design and Andy winning Miami could happen.

[jjnow]

Yeah, just tried to enter but it looks like I'm too late. By about 10 minutes.

:mad:

MORE chances for BPDN (and everyone else from TAT in the contest, I suppose, harumph) to win. WOO HOO!!!!!! (:yahoo:)


Sorry about that, jj. :o

[mmmm8]

Agree on the design and Andy winning Miami could happen.

I liked the design. It was a lot faster and easier than TC Racquet Bracket. Wish they had filled in the qualifiers, though.


Sorry, JJ

Sorry, JJ

I just wish the entire bracket was where we did not have to scroll right for the semis and finals an they could have placed the qualifiers last night because the qualies were over before 5 pm local time, I believe.

[patrick]

Yeah, just tried to enter but it looks like I'm too late. By about 10 minutes.

:mad:

Still has 7 more chances beginning with the one that starts on April 21.

[Charlie02123]

I entered mine a while ago, before the qualifiers were in. TATCharlie is ready to kick some ass! :)

Actually, I'm completely horrified at my predictions. Them coming true would be the WORST thing that could happen for me as a fan. I ended up with...

Champion: Andy Roddick
Runner Up: James Blake

BLURGH! I figure the 'big three' are all tuckered out, and I didn't want to kid myself and say Davydenko was going to make it past Murray and Federer into the final.

I hope I'm miserably wrong!

I also hope my qualifier picks work out well. I pick the qualifier to win in a few matches, even though I didn't know who it was yet.

[--cj--]

TAT-cj- is registered, but i missed the Miami deadline. Doh!

[aedra1119]

TATaedra1119 is in, but I filled out the bracket in about 90 seconds. Let's see how well I do. ;)

[patrick]

Just look at the scoreboard and I know that it is early but Charlie02123 is in a tie for 20th. Me, I am way down the list.

Really!? How very exciting.

I have a strange knack for doing really well at the beginning of these contests and then not winning. Considering that the final I chose was Roddick over Blake, history may very well repeat itself.

[mmmm8]

I'm doing so badly, I don't deserve a place!

"You are in th place with 77 points"

[dryrunguy]

I'm doing so badly, I don't deserve a place!

"You are in th place with 77 points"

I'm too ashamed to check. You CANNOT be doing any worse than I am. I went with djokovic all the way. All year I've been 1 week too early or 1 week too late in figuring out who's going peak when. Hence my standing in the predictions. Boo hiss!

[patrick]

I'm doing so badly, I don't deserve a place!

"You are in th place with 77 points"

You're 7 ahead of me. And, we do this all over again on 04/21/08 for Monte Carlo

[Moose]

I'm in 4,555th place. Ajde!

[oohsalmon]

Wow, I'm in 800th! Allez!

Looking at the leaderboard, Jack is in a tie for 10th place. This is very impressive out of 11369 entries. :cheesy:

Very nice, Jack!

I lucked out. I'm in 393rd, and have a Roddick d. Nadal final :cheesy:.

[dryrunguy]

I finally looked! I'm in 10436th place! :cheesy:

You will move past a lot of people if you win all 3 matches while I will be headed toward Dry's territory.

I apparently know my way around a contest if it doesn't count for anything :(

[Scotty]

I'm in 1063rd, and can only improve if Roddick keeps winning, since he's the only one of the final 4 I predicted correctly. Did have him going all the way.

Somehow, they have place TAT--cj--- 16205th out of 11369. Not sure what --cj-- did to anger them so.

[oohsalmon]

I finished in 130th :banana:

Anyone do better?

[dryrunguy]

I finished in 130th :banana:

That depends. Does it count if I ended up with a few more zeros to the right of my placing? :o

LOL! poor guy.

[Jessie181]

I don't even think I entered this racket bracket :p

At the time, I was so busy with research papers that I probably forgot about it :p

Sorry a few of you finished so low :kiss:

Not too late to enter as Monte Carlo starts in 2 weeks
