Wimbledon predictions?

[Mister Wright]

Those who predicted after games started get 0 points for those games, it's a simple rule, and is the same one Simon operated I believe.

Therefore, since the Hewitt and Federer games started before a prediction was made, they score 0.

And the Federer match started around the same time.

its not the way simon operated

u have to consider the folowing thing as well. for me it hard to get the correct fixture for game upto quater as games are played well into midnight india time and i am not able to access net in the morning.even if u r rule is put into effect i think only two games had started befoe i predicted and i should have got the points for the matches that started later

u r cut of time is not a good idea. i am sure simon gave points for the matches that didnot begin

 

[Simon]

i generally allowed it if it was 5 or 10 minutes late, but i cant say tips being that late really came up at all, marc's runnin this comp so let him run it as he likes...

Yes. Its all for fun so its easier if we allow the person running the competition decide.

Nothing so serious really whoever wins the competition. Specially considering I am not participating this time

There was play on more than 2 courts for that round.

As have I done - A cut off time of when the games start seems perfectly fair to me - can't make it any later and any earlier is silly

As Hewitt's match.

 

[Jono]

Ah well, as long as you're consistent with the late tips rules I have no complaints.

The final will be Federer vs Roddick

I'll be tipping Federer

Right.

Either I win or I lose (tautology there), so I'm gonna have to gamble on Roddick...

Last Tournament I was 2nd place before the final - so had to gamble.

This time I get to pick

Federer

Federer

last night in the wimbledon wrap up, becker made what i think is a valid point....the other players are too busy accepting his phenomenal talent and superiority especially on grass and just don't attack him enough anymore....most of the top players are satisfied if they give him what they consider a good enough fight....he pointed out some instances where hewitt could have really taken the fight to him and didn't....

federer doesn't ever expect to lose when he steps on court and his opponents rarely expect to win except when they are precocious teenagers(gasquet, nadal) or slightly unbalanced tennis geniuses(safin)...the result is that an aura of near invincibility surrounds him....of course roddick might prove this wrong tomorrow, but somehow i doubt it very much...

 

[archie mac]

I guess I will have to take the 'big serving American'

 

[Jono]

Federer.
