Tennis Warehouse Australian Open Racquet Bracket - Enter to win FREE gear!

[KBTour]

It looks like a whole bunch of entrants have the same issue, in which everyone towards the bottom of the standings has 0 points. While I was making my picks, I clicked "save" once I was done and then I got a message saying I was signed out after 20 minutes. So even though the system told me my picks saved, they never did actually. It's unfortunate for us whose picks never "saved," but I guess lesson learned for the next Slam.

As far as the site goes, the older one was far superior, with What-Ifs and such. At least that one didn't auto-log off after 20 minutes.

Would also like to thank Tennis Warehouse for giving us all this opportunity at each Major.

Woohoo.... first place at the moment. Wonder if it will hold.

Yeah, it seemed like they tried to break it apart to make it seem like it's taking you less time, but that's really all they did. Instead of you having to scroll down for all 64 first round matches, they just broke them into like 8 sections of 8 matches, but I'm like what's the difference? If you scroll down to make 64 match predictions for the first round or scroll through 8 pages of 8 picks per page... Same difference right?

Yeah Thanks to TW for running this again!

I also had a question about the prize. I was thinking about this the other day, actually. I was wondering if say someone wins, and they already have enough rackets, can they opt for like apparrel instead? Like, just use the same amount of dollars the racket they would have picked costs and then apply it to other items like apparel? Just wondering if winners could do that. I figure some of us might get more use out of like apparel instead of another racket.

Ouch I really sucked it up yesterday.

#109 on the mens.
#29 on the womens.

Different racquets are listed at different prices, some under $100, some over $200, so not sure how that would work out. I think racquet + shoes of the winner's choice is an excellent prize, but I haven't won one of these brackets yet! But honestly, these events just make the tennis more exciting and more interesting. It's unfortunate for us and those who are already out of the running due to picks not being saved, though.

Hmm. If anybody is able to check the womens bracket, can you tell me what place I'm in. Same as my forum username. Thanks. I don't even remember my picks, but I'm curious where I'm standing.

For the mens bracket, I need Kevin Anderson, Gilles, and JJ to win their matches. If that happens and the rest of the tournament goes the cookie cutter way I expect it to then I have a good chance to win.

Of course if I do win I don't know if I'd like another anniversary prestige or a vcore 97 to play around with. Definitely going with cc feather ii's for my shoes though

[jonnyjack]

i wish their website would do what yahoo's march madness bracket does and have a scenario generator so i could see if i still have a chance, haha.

i'm an idiot and had lisicki in the women's semis so unless azarenka loses now, i have no chance, haha. i had jamie hampton going to this 3rd round so i need her to take her out!

Your are:
Mens #58
Womens #10

Thanks mate! Surprised I'm doing that well in the womens. The one big pick I remember for that is Radwanska over Sharapova. That one worries me

[fundrazer]

Think my shot at the men's bracket went out the window. There are some guys ahead of me already by a few points that share basically of the same picks the rest of the way. If Goffin had beaten Verdasco that might have helped me out a bit, but in hindsight I should have went with Nico over JJ. Still not sure if that would have been enough though

Apologize for having to ask for help here again, but I've got another request for my women's bracket. Can somebody post my updated standing for today, as well as a pic of my round of 16 onwards? Should show all of the picks till the final. Again, username is Fundrazer. Thanks.

[Big_Dangerous]

Yeah I'm pretty sure I went back and changed Almagro over Jerzy, but it didn't save. Funny though, I was in 3rd yesterday and the two people ahead of me went with Fed as their champ, while I took Djoker.

[fundrazer]

Hmm, well I figured out how to view my women's bracket. Checked the standings first while not being logged in. For some reason it would never let me switch from the mens bracket to the womens...

Anyway, after switching to the women's bracket, I still couldn't view my picks and my password wasn't working. Did the forgot password thing and got some number string. It worked, and now I can see my picks again.

It's hilarious how much the one part of the draw is in shambles. I thought my Pavly QF pick was gonna be money after Errani got knocked but they both ended up losing. I've also got Sloane Stephens and Goerges in the QF.

Here's the breakdown for a Fundrazer victory. Two people ahead of me have the same SF and Final winners. For me to win the women's bracket, I need those picks to go correctly, but I also needed Wozi to lose now preferably, Goerge to beat Li Na, and Sloane Stephens to get to the QF. Not sure about the first two, but the 3rd I think is a given. That alone will likely not be enough for me to win though.

[fundrazer]

Well I got knocked back to 9th position in women's bracket today. Silly Wozniacki is racking up points for people. I had Lisicki taking her out which should have happened... Would have given me a little bit more breathing room against some other pickers.

I think what I need is still the same. Wozi needs to lose. If she makes the QF then I think there's one guy who could potentially beat me if the rest of my picks are correct. Sloane Stephens beat Robson and needs one more win to reach QF. I'm confident she can win. The big one I need is Goerges over Li Na. This one has me the most nervous, but in hindsight if I didn't pick it I might not have had anywhere to gain points on the people already ahead of me.

Wish me luck guys

Well a close call on the women bracket, finished 7, congrats to the winner. I have no chance at the men bracket, Delpo screwed it up for me, had him at the final Thanks TW for the chance to play it is always fun!

[swfh]
