Can't get over how good these updates are. Also like how you can see everyone else's team.

Not sure I like it though, as I'm 15th out of 18 in the FISO league. Only one way to go from here.

Gutted

Entered a team but was too slow reading the link to the mini league and cannot join now. Got 100 male points and 99 women. Worse still just had someone write off my car. Worse still - had a go on hte Tardis Tennis link and lost to Queen Victoria....... :P

Two out in the men's draw on the first day - shocker! Going OK in the ladies. Guessing tennis isn't our speciality - although a bit early to judge as half of the players haven't even played as yet.

6 through, 1 out.

The mini-league overall table is a joke as it's on averages and the top league has 3 players.

Do you really think the FISO masses know enough about tennis to be at the top? And since not every player has played a match yet, it's a slightly mis-leading table.

Yes, I actually think most Fisoers who take the time to play a game like this will study the draw, player form and value to gain that advantage. I think your normal player will just choose Eastern European names and cross their fingers :mrgreen:

A typically dismal performance from my women so far - probably would have been better off going for the 'eastern european' or 'hotties' tactic

Sorry guys - looks like Im helping drag down the FISO average right now!

I don't think our league will mean a thing until after the second round matches are played. After all, we'll all have 20 players playing in round one.

At least I hope this is the case (second last so far) :oops:

Hmm, might have been worthwhile studying the draw, as Spencer4 indicated - I see I have included Nadal's first victim in my team - hope he wins a game or two... :oops:

Will join my two other Eastern European qualifiers today, Theythinkitsalova and Itisnov
