2013 Slam Challenge - Wimbledon

[ftan]

Right, ftan - but after four of the top 10 players were out.

Lolz El dude I was just having some fun You know I will never bet against Federer..
But my picks for top half would have been the same

 

[Riotbeard]

Riotbeard, you've predicted yourself into a lot of win-win situations by having your wildcard and darkhorse on opposites sides of the draw, and you have a couple different ways you could get a perfect score. Actually, as far as I can tell you will get a perfect in most scenarios except those that Andy Murray wins in the semi-final, in which case you'll get either 16 (if Andy wins it all) or 20 (if either Novak or Juan Martin wins it). Every other scenario and you get 25.

In other words, well done!

Sometimes you throw it all on black a bunch of times and it keeps coming up black. Honestly had no idea this would happen, just bet on my favorites.

 

[El Dude]

Well, the worst-case scenario happened for poor Riotbeard so he only got 16 points - but it is better than my 10!

Anyhow, below are the updated rankings. I took people who haven't predicted the last two Slams, or the last and the first, because I'm assuming they're not wanting to participate and I don't want to shame them with their low scores . If any of you want to participate in the US Open Challenge, please do - I have your scores recorded and will add you in after.

*denotes that you missed your predictions and you got the default minimum (one lower than the lowest prediction score, which was 13, 9, and 7 for the three Slams respectively)
