Please note any event that's cancelled before Tues 31 March will be replaced,
eg US Open would be substitute for Wimbledon Tennis.

Entrants will be notified of such a change, of course.

Substitute

Post by SamD »

It now seems inevitable that the 2020 Wimbledon Tennis tournament will be cancelled.

So, the French Open steps in as the replacement event in the Predictor, as follows:

9. Tennis, French Open start date

1 point - in Sept or not in 2020
2 pts - Aug
3 pts - by end-July
4 pts - Oct to Dec

And for 5 pts, the Men's Singles champion.

Those who've already posted forecasts are being contacted by PM.
Do say if there's any query.

Thanks for running this, Sam. Looks like we're the only ones backing a July finish for football across the board. I admire your optimism with that tie-break prediction, but I hope you're right.

Anyway, back to the thumb-twiddling and finger-drumming. Good luck to all.

Calendar for opening eight races announced by F1, including British Grand Prix on 2nd August. Looks like raoul might have nailed that one.

If Sam's feeling generous, maybe he'll give those of us that went July half a point, as practice sessions start Friday 31st.
