You can't cash in twice. I suppose it should be clarified in the rules, but you only get points for a player once. So GSM, you'll want to swap someone in for Federer in one of those two places.

Your rule is fair and logical, but I empathize with GSM: it's so tempting to pick Roger as the dark horse and the winner.

A copy of 2014 US-open-series Media notebook is the prize for the winner.
This way you can always remember you won the challenge.

Aloha Kui

I just received your package, and the 2014 US Open Series Media Notebook, Media Guide and Official Program are way more than what I what I was expecting. WOW. The Media Gudie has Great information on everything tennis, ATP, WTA, Tournaments, Player Histories, etc.

Again, Mahalo for putting together the prizes for the Draw Challenge, they are great reminders of how lucky I was to win the TennisFrontier 2014 Cincinnati Draw Challenge. I marked the used tennis ball, TF 2014... TennisFrontier 2014, or The Fed 2014, either way works for me! Again Thank You. Your efforts are very much appreciated. :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap

I get that, but I prefer being loyal (no diss against anyone else) over choosing against my favorite. That's a personal preference. I don't really care about winning a draw challenge, even though I'm always setting them up. ;)

And stand-by…I'll post my picks. Finally had time to look at the draw.

We still have time for our picks till Monday, right? I know I will pick Nole to win (what a surprise) but I didn't even look through the rest of the draw, so hopefully I will have time and won't forget it. Just in case, at least I have 1 pick for the winner.:D

There is time, since the early rounds don't really impact. You can always just crib off of someone else! ;) But do play.

Thanks Moxie, but if I do crib off of somebody, it won't be you, please don't be offended.;)
