Rain Delay/Heavy Work Load Confusion

Seff,

I think you have all picks I'm responsible for through Thursday's schedule (R16 & top half 1/4's), God willing they get all that in. I'm pulling double shifts the next few days, so please alert me if I'm lacking any necessary picks. THX!

I know I have stopped posting these, but they are regularly being updated in the spreadsheet. So go look at them. I'm serious! Or I'll make it rain in Queens.

How does the picking of the games work? Do you earn extra points if you get the exact # of games?

It's solely used as a tiebreaker. If two teams tie, those who are the closest games wise, win their match-up. In Qualifying and QFs, the team with the higher points from round robin move on if there's a tie.

US OPEN STANDINGS AND RANKINGS AFTER FOURTH ROUND

League File | HTML​

H2H Semis are also over. dcdoorknob/saloni will face redsoxfan/romeo8880 - the top teams from the Bill Tilden group face off against each other. They first met in RR2 where dcdoorknob/saloni beat The Rs 60 to 53.

NYK and I are sad to lose, but even sadder as two Mets fans losing to a team made up of a Yankees fan & a Redsox fan. No worries, the defending champs will take out The L Word team and win the 3rd place battle.

I vote no more picks for stringertom rest of the tournament.

I was goating at Aussie, Aphex goated Paris, You goated Wimby, let Stringer goat the Open!

Though Sdont and dcdoorknob say otherwise! The last few picks are 50/50, makes it interesting.

And Outbeyond - who's only 1 point off the lead and has the best match percentage at this tourny.

This tournament is pretty much over anyway but if this happens it'll be the funniest thing since Ray Liotta pulling a Disney smile.

My work schedule is almost obliging your wish, my friend! In delirium, after a hellish double shift at 4 frigging AM, I will offer these tea-leave derived Nostradamian imitations of picks:
Murray 3/1
Nadal 3/1
let 'em ride, folks!
Good luck & Good Night!
BTW, IMHumbleO J Side's perfect 40 in R16 is far more impressive than my 20/20 visions.
