Battle of the Boards Bracket Contest

And LET this be a lesson to all of you. It ALWAYS pays to: .

We have A LOT of people doing really well.

And I'm not one of them.

But it's all about the team!

[ptmcmahon]

I think we have a higher percentage of Nole pickers than the rest do in general, so probably be better for us if he wins today?

Picking Rafa sure seems like the way to go This is fun, I'm not used to playing for winning teams (when I was younger, I once went 4 seasons in a row over 3 sports without a win - one football, one basketball, and two field hockey - although we had a BASKETBALL tie?)

Actually we've picked more Nole than CC (current number 2) but less than GR (in third place)

TAT Nole 55% Roger 33%
CC Nole 33% Roger 46%
GR Nole 69% Roger 19%

See post 1827 - only the Feddies can catch you in Rome now, so if Nole wins this match, you'll have won Rome for sure.

TAT wins Rome and takes the overall lead.

Bad result for me, but good for the team! Hopefully Rafa takes it down for more points for us.

Updated results now up - TAT have now won the teams comp for Rome (only the Feddies could have beaten them and they're now last, for obvious reasons), with Rusedski.co.uk 2nd, and 3rd place still to be decided between Team CC (if Gonzo reaches the Final) and Match Point (if Rafa reaches the Final) - if Rafa beats Gonzo, AM.com will hold onto 2nd in the year-round rankings with CC dropping to 3rd.

The current top three in the individual event will stay there, so congratulations to jtdrum (TA), whose win gives TAT the 'double' here as well as the no. 1 slot in the overall rankings, kayce (JM) in 2nd and TennisAnyone74 (TA) in 3rd. This is because BalaK (AM), the highest-placed entrant who picked Nole to win the title, is outside the top 30 and can finish 4th at best, while the rest of the top 25 all have Rafa reaching the Final.

All of the other positions are still up for grabs except the lanterne rouge, which AllyB (AM) is now sure to 'win'.

[ptmcmahon]

Congrats "jtdrew" and tennisanyone. Kayce completes a virtual TAT sweep!

[patrick]

Congratulations to JTdrum for winning BotB for Rome.
