In WTA draw challenge contest, you have a better chance of winning if you know nothing about any of the players involved. Reminds of me of a time when I won $300 on the Greyhound race with a $10 bet with absolutely no clue about the dogs running.

p.s. Later I tried to develop some knowledge about the dogs and went for the races few more times and never made that much money. Fortunately, I quit that long ago.

Current standings. @AnonymousFan is winning, and @Moxie is doing extremely well too. (Not sure who tennisproguru.com is)

I'm thankful @mrzz gave us such a generous head start. The old fable about the hare and the tortoise... I can't wait to see the modern day version unveiled on this thread.

I need to know something for the future draws. How some cheaters get more points with less correct picks? Like this twdean13 guy, he has only 58 correct picks, less than 50% and still sitting comfortably on 9th place.

The value of a correct pick increases per round of the tournament.

Without looking at his draw, it's probably because each correct pick has a higher point value, round by round. For example, you may have a lot of correct picks in the first round, but they aren't worth that many points. But if your later round picks bomb out, you can't earn as many points. "Correct picks" is a pure number, but "points" reflect how many were made in later rounds. Does that make sense? Anyway, that's why I just jumped up to #3...because I have Nadal.

Well of course.

 

[Moxie]

Well of course.

It's OK...fair question. Plus, it helps the new people who haven't played yet.

I feel like first rounds should have a bit more points, maybe a first round to score 2 as well or something. The gap between later rounds and first ones is huge, but I guess that's part of the game and is about who will survive with at least 1 pick until the very end.

I bet the players feel the same way, about the first round.

Agree, at least the amount of money is generous so that evens it

hare and the tortoise... wait, who has the biggest dick among those? That's the one I should be.

Priscilla.

Priscilla.

Since the 1984 world finals the Priscillas of the world are excluded from all "who has the biggest dick" competitions. It was then claimed that they have some unfair advantage and that would explain why they would win all the contests.

It is obvious why anyone with an 'unfair advantage' would be excluded from "biggest dick" contest. B-)

I don't wish to be a bore, but I'll pass up the opportunity to peek into your shell

Off course it is obvious. They have the full day to train, stretch and make exercises. They are professionals and have even sponsors. It is not fair to let them compete with amateurs. If I had it that easy I would not complain. WITH AN EVEN PLAYING FIELD I WOULD BEAT ALL THE TIME. FUCK YOU PRISCILLA!!!
