Telegraph
Fantasy Wimbledon
'Now the weather has turned warmer, all eyes
will be on SW19 from June 23 and we are delighted to launch our Telegraph
Fantasy Wimbledon game to enhance your enjoyment of the tournament.
We have an excellent top prize of an all-inclusive week in any Mark Warner Beach
Resort in the Mediterranean and Aegean (see www.markwarner.co.uk
for details).
There are also runners-up prizes of official 'his and hers' Wimbledon towels
(worth over £45) and 'History of Wimbledon' videos from www.Sweatband.com
For just £3.50 (or £9.95 for a single entry and a Head 'St Moritz' bag) you
get to select a squad of the best players competing in the 2003 Wimbledon
tournament. Simply choose a male and female from 12 pools of players, grouped
according to their world rankings and past Wimbledon performances. Add in a
couple of wild card players of each gender and you have your Telegraph Fantasy
Wimbledon line-up.
It's as simple as that but what you must decide is which players in each group
will progress furthest in the tournament. To make the selection process that
little bit easier we have provided details of each player's performance in Grand
Slam events over the past three years.
Scores will be updated the following week day after every day's play and, to add
to the game-playing experience, we have included a prediction-based Baseline
Booster quiz which gives entrants the opportunity to pick up some bonus points.
You can also take on friends and colleagues in your own private mini-league
while competing for the main prizes.
So hurry to www.games.telegraph.co.uk
to register your entry.
If you played any of the TFFO games last season you can log into the game using
your existing e-mail address and password.
Once you have submitted your line-up you can go back and make changes right up
until the closing date for applications, which is midday (BST) on Monday, 23
June 2003.
If you think you know your tennis, or you just want to be part of the summer's
biggest sporting event, this is the game for you.'

BBC Fantasy Tennis - Wimbledon
2001
This is brought to you by the BBC and
Fantasy League Limited - http://bbctennis.fantasyleague.co.uk/
- and you know this should be a good game as soon as you see that Fantasy
League Limited have set the game up for the BBC. The format has that look
and feel of the Fantasy League quality and I'm hoping this leads to a
trouble free fortnight. No doubt there are going to be a large number of
entries due to the profile of the BBC and the winner will be rightly
proud of beating off the competition.
Right, a quick summary of the main
rules:
1. Entry deadline 11.45am Monday 25
June;
2. Select 4 men and 4 women from the
list of 50 men and 50 women but ensure you're not spending more than £100,000
in total for the 8 players (P.S. Players range from £50,000 (Sampras)
down to £1,000);
3. There are no transfers - seems
sensible as it is only a one-off 2 week competition;
4. Accumulate points as your players
progress, win by 1, 2 or 3 sets, beat a seeded player (if unseeded) and
beat a higher seed (if seeded) - to win I suspect you're going to have to
pick at least 1 of the finalists for both the mens and ladies finals
and if a cheap player gets to the semis by beating two or three seeds you're going to need to have had
him in your team so look out for that bargain player;
5. Prize winners receive excellent
tennis coaching session, tickets to A Question of Sport and autographed
Sweatshirt. There are also prizes for the top scoring manager of each of
the two weeks of the tournament;
6. Free to enter;
7. Only one team per manager.
Oh and there's an excellent 'Challenge
A Mate' automated email that you can whack off to taunt your friends!
Looks like enjoyable fun!
