Team entered, Grinny's Strokers. Boltonboy invited me to join. Thanks for organising Sam. I know nothing about tennis just like Boltonboy :D So should be a good competition for wooden spoon.

Good luck, yorkshiredragon, with overall Champions Race attempt.

Still 20 in Fiso Federation, as Grant seems to have gone; likewise 035robroy.

Anyone missing out could try asking TFF Dream Team admin to admit side to league:

Not sure why I've gone, haven't deleted my team! I've dropped them a note to see if they can get it loaded back on.

US Open: Wed, Day Three of 15

The yo-yo effect is still in evidence within the Fiso Federation.
This season's form side, yorkshiredradon, moves from ninth to the top.
But bossdrum climbs even more impressively, up 15 rungs to second.
The previous top six all slide down, particularly Tuesday's front-runner.

Table (after 18 of 64 Round-2 ties) highlights teams in overall top & bottom 50.
