This might be more appealing to people looking for added interest during Wimbledon than the ATP game:

Interesting choice for the name of the game - probably a good thing thats its for charity!

All dream teams will need to be created prior to 12 noon of the first day of the championships (25th June 2007) in order to be accepted.

I've taken the liberty of setting up a Mini League/group for fun (no prizes for mini leagues), details:

I'm in, something to do on a wet Monday morning

Post by **bagpuss** » 25 Jun 2007, 08:43

Yep, I've joined up as well.

Murray's withdrawl led to one last tinker, as that part of the draw now looks really open.

Im in, hopefully this will prevent me gambling on a sport I know next to nothing about.

Team Name : The Bare Bones

Post by **scopsm** » 25 Jun 2007, 10:29

All added, am tempted to do more tinkering after Murray's withdrawal but have changed it 3 or 4 times already and don't know half of the players in my teams.

I've just managed to get my teams in with seconds to go

I think my mens team is OK but my womens team was pretty random due to time contraints. I apologise now if I bring the FISO league down

Just had a chance to check my team. I've put Sharapova and Chan in

Impressed, they are quick at updating the scores in this game.
One of my players knocked out already.

Unlucky, can't see anywhere myself in the rules where it gives a deadline for entry to the mini league specifically.
I assume you have tried it and that's what the system told you?

As to those entrants in the Mini League:
I was a bit puzzled when I only saw that there were 5 teams in the Mini League yet in the Group it indicates 6 teams.
The Mini League only shows the top 5 teams when you click on My Group but if I then click on View LeaderBoards, it indicates all 6 team positions.

Mini League currently 48th

Post by **bagpuss** » 26 Jun 2007, 21:14

Andreev, Karlovic and Cilic out already

No real upsets yet, and not many of my risky picks seem to be paying off.

I'll be hoping Lopez ends Tiger Tim's hopes tomorrow

Impressive stuff cam23, heres the latest FISO league:

3rd SavvyLove 832
4th Murray's Mint 759

I am really struggling in this! I knew my knowledge of the women's game was seriously lacking, but I am now left with just Federer, Nadal, Monfils and Bjorkman in the mens.

Unlucky Demo, it was really close there for a while.

The Wombles came 56th overall and came 21st in womens, had 5 out of 8 women in quarters and only bartoli made it through to semis.

Wooden spoon for you then, Bagpuss.
Mini League came 15th.
