    French Open contests 2014 - Sponsored by TitanBet

    My Open contests have returned. For those who aren't familiar with them: There will be a separate contest for the men's and women's singles. If you haven't entered one of my contests before, here are the rules:

    1. This is a bracket contest - think NCAA Basketball - which starts at the First Round of the French Open. The draw will be released FRIDAY MAY 23rd and I'll create the individual contest threads then. This is not a quick contest to enter - although if you use the bracket software I suggest in the contest threads it might help - so allow yourself some time to figure out your picks.

    2. Each person is to PM ME the winners of each match all the way through from the First Round until the
    Final BEFORE the first match commences: SUNDAY MAY 25th 11AM local time (5AM EDT). to be clear: You have to figure out the winner of each 1st round match, carry them over to the 2nd round and decide who'll win, and so on. All of this before the first match is played. I'll post everyone's picks at some point in the day so we can all follow along.

    Sponsored by TitanBet. Players without an account there must create one through the SBR banner.

    Is there bracket software?? I want to click each match like a ncaa hops bracket and it saves and I can view online each round. Please point me to where I can sign up and enter my picks in bracket format. I will never ever forget the times I did in the old format it took me 3 hrs to figure it out and get it formatted correctly.

    Not entering until I see auto bracket software

    Then we can get lots of applicants

    In refuse to copy and paste and then have to get HTML editor to format correctly

    Time is vital to me

    Four years running with this little "request" of JJ's. If he didn't appear in this thread to say the same thing for the 11th gazillionty time I'd be honestly worried he carked it.

    Shari is living in the early 2000's as far as software and technology

    JJ good to see you are still trying to keep Shari in check...

    The way she is technologically devolving it wouldn't be a surprise if next year she is only accepts paper entries delivered by Aussie Post.

    I would not doubt it

    The last time I entered one of these it took me six hours

    A lot of formatting
    A lot of copy and pasting
    Then she sends me all over the Internet to do it

    Six hours? You really are borderline retarded Coach. Pretty sure yisman maybe provided a link for one that you could cut and paste after you entered some contest that maybe would make your life more simple.

    It's not my site. I just filled in the draw (which did take some time) for a page opti had set up. I think it's up to shari and sbr whether it's ok to post the link?

    If it is, I'll fill in the draw again so we can click our picks through and just copy the results at the end.

    Done.

    Yiser: If you don't mind filling the names in on Friday and Opti doesn't mind us using it again of course, please go for it. If you can post the link in here or the contest threads, that'd be great and I'll add it to the main posts.

    The bracket software should be arriving at your house soon. It's the envelope with the white powder.

    It's not complex at all you shit stirrer. Four years of this now. Once the draw is released Yiser is going to input the names into a computer program Optional made and when I make the contest threads the link will be there. You get to click to pick your players all the way through just as we do in NCAA contests. When you get to the final page just copy and paste your entry and send it to me in a PM. You don't even have to type one player's name ffs. What else do you want?!
