I believe aaronh had 4 correct picks in the previous round

^yup

did i get too many points

Fixed!

mousetrap, this isn't the first time you've spotted an error; are you in the habit of checking them all? To be honest we should probably have a bit of a community effort to check a few of each other's scores because the occasional error does sneak in and it would be a shame if the tournament ends up being decided by that! (No criticism of darren implied as this is a lot of work and the kind of thing that's easy to make the odd mistake with.)

it has been a pure coincidence smb360.  occasionally, i look at competitors with similar score and check where exactly they had done better than me - i think i did this max 4-5 times since the very beginning of the comp.

i think the comp is a fun entertainment so i don't take the scoring that seriously (esp. given that the real bets are quite often different from the comp picks, not the least due to odds factor) but i can do a quick check daily if people find the review important

I naturally assumed all players did check their own scores, so thanks for the feedback mouse trap
Off the top of my head, there have only been 3 errors in 3 tournamnets, 1. giving smb360 14pts instead of 12 in R3 IW, 2.placing aaronh ahead of ;[p which in the  SF IW, but would have noted that the next day when updating the spreadsheet and 3. giving aaronh an extra correct pick in R3 MC - I can only assume the pick for murray threw me, seldom does murray bow out early either that or I was momentairly distracted, my phone does ring alot.

suprised arrong THE BAT is awake to see the games to provide tips. His sleep pattern is absurd

i've not watched much tennis this week

too early start

aaron's been slipping darren a few quid imo but both have been caught in a mouse trap

Got to say darren I mostly don't check. I suspect we've all been putting the onus on you too much.

P.S. you gave me 12 instead of 14 iirc - it's only aaron you give free points to!

Interesting competition, however it is not fair game.
The points should be distributed according to the odds (taken maybe at the start of the match), not simply by picking the winners.
The guys choosing e.g. Fognini or Nieminen earlier deserved a lot more points.

we don't need to have this discussion on every tournament week

Nadal

Well done, Novak

arrong wins, ffs

no he doesn't, I forgot which way round he and neverwithyou went

arrong loses, yay

I had a half 1st round handicapp but still ended up well

arrons the best tennis tipster on here. but mugray biased and also a nadal hater but hes gud. Me and him r going to wimby and staying in his dorm at college

And the winner of the seasons first clay court Masters 1000 event goes to....Neverwithyou! Congrats on a very well deserved victory that sees you claim the second biggest winning margin of the season, a clear 10 points ahead of Miami's winner, bb66. Neverwithyou lead the whole week through and topped every round, finisheing the week with 42 Correct picks - three more than his nearest rival, well done.

In second place we have the ever consistent,bb66, who follows up his title in Miami with an impressive runners-up spot here in Monte Carlo, bb66 was on the leaders coat-tails all week long but couldn't quite overhaul the leader, he finishes the week with 39 correct picks

In 3rd place finishes aaronh, whose upward imnprovement in recent weeks sees him best his 12th place in Indian Wells and 9th place finish in Miami, he should be a strong conteder for Madrid in 2 weeks.

A final mention for myself, who completely forgot to enter any picks for Round 3, missing out on a potential top 3 finish, my excuse is I have no excuse, I simply forgot

NEXT STOP: MADRID

i am the perfect example for people who want to know what happens  when u chase

thanks
