Wimbledon Mens Doubles Picking Game

Wimbledon

==Tournament Closed==
==Next Tournament: Toronto?==

How to Play
In the spirit to educate and entertain we have a doubles prediction contest. Every player partners up with another. Each has 16 picks to be used on any of the Men's Doubles matches. The points besides each fixture represent the points you score if that team wins. If your pick is wrong you LOSE 10 points. The overall positions will be decided by your score and your partner's score. Once a partnership is agreed by both players it cannot be changed over the course of the tournament. You and your partner can pick on the same match or pick differently. Each player has 2 Djoker Cards.

Hello DJ! How are you and what have you been up to? Haven't see you on 606 for a while! Well I haven't been on much either...606 is a little depressing at times. winkeye

I bet you've enjoyed this sporting summer very much!

Phew! Glad you found it! I just realised that I picked the wrong thread. Silly me.

dj, would you please send an email to this address: m.tennislounge@gmail.com, citing your id on 606, from a junk email address or what you feel comfortable with. I will get back to you and explain in greater detail. Sorry for making this complicated. But I'd be grateful!!
