GP – Schedule of Prediction Threads

[The Statman]

As there won't be a thread set up when you do it, perhaps you would send me them in a PM and I'll ensure they are included.

Well, with 48 people left in the tournament, any of whom could meet any other in one of the rounds between the last 16 and the final, I believe that is 47+46+45+...+3+2+1 = 1128 pairings. You would have to predict each one three times, once for a best-of-9, once for a best-of-11 and once for a best-of-17.

That's a total of 3384 sets of predictions for what will turn out to be 15 matches, not a good economy rate!

Actually there are much less possible pairings, as it is already settled, which groups play which (e.g. winner A vs. RU E, winner E vs RU A etc.). Therefore 'only' 60 possible pairings for the last 16.

Player1 Vs Player2: 5-1

Yes that will be fine. You can just list them like this:

5-1
2-5
4-5
...etc. as the 'Player 1' malarkey is obvious.

Don't forget the highest break each round, and don't forget, Last 16 and QFs best-of-9, Semis best-of-11, final best-of-17.

I will PM them before leaving, so hopefully not a very long list I am not sure yet I'll recognize your face in the crowd You have a chance to recognize me though.

Yes, that my work. Do they usually allow to bring appletrees in?
