TennisFrontier Mutua Madrid Draw Challenge

[GameSetAndMath]

I didn't get around to inspecting the draw so I'm gonna sit this one out...

...said Nole and Roger :snigger

Well, Nole probably inspected the draw before deciding to sit out.

Well, I did say "barring upset." Shall we call this game kaput, or start over and see if we can salvage some picks? I'm game for either, though I'm getting fed up with re-examing the draw.

I agree....I am soo over re-examing the draw.

Well, we are pretty much got our half of the draw destroyed today didn't we? So there's still a chance unless someone made a wild pick and predicted Stan would be out before the semis.

I fold. See you all in Rome.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I fold too....Bella Roma!!!!!!!!!

 

[Moxie]

Adios, Madrid. Suerte Nadal! Ci vediamo a Roma!

Let's just leave the picks, whoever wins, will win.

OK, the Beleaguered Challenge results. I believe we have agreed that, if we do a year-end tally, this one won't count, due to all the withdrawals/upsets. And now given the final, so much the better. :ras:

Our winner is: Fashionista with 95 points! :clap

Moxie: 85
Riotbeard: 40
GameSetMath: 30
Denisovich: 30
Murat: 25…though Murat gets bonus points for not having to re-pick when Djokovich withdrew
___________________________
Note: No one picked Bautista-Agut, Giraldo or Feliciano Lopez to make the quarterfinals. (Not a surprise.)

Also: Nishikori was picked as Dark Horse by: Murat, Moxie, and Fashionista. No points are given if they don't win the tournament, but I thought worth noting.

Thanks to all who played, and I hope more of you are game for the Rome Challenge. :heart:
