Anyway....good luck everyone.

As I understand it, you have to register afresh for each tournament

Yep correct.
Not sure why they do it but each tournament is a fresh registration.
You can use same username and same password though

[scopsm]

Donegal Racketeers in

[Ashers]

Last Minute Dot Com in.

[Grant]

Claytastic is in

Last minute tinkering with Halep/Kvitova making a late exit - fear the latter will be a bad move!

[topspur]

totally screwed - didn't realise it started so early - schoolboy error

[bossdrum]

Time for trumpton entered.

French Open: Sun, Day 1 of 15
After a quarter of Round-1 fixtures, yorkshiredragon and GM are placed in the top ten.
Sadly, Surprised's early optimism seems to be misplaced. Early days, of course.
More surprisingly, Fiso loses 33% - while event drops 205 - of team-numbers in Oz Open.

I just found out that I have picked Arguello who plays against Murray in the first day (who I also have in my team) - that's what happens when you choose your team 20minutes before the deadline while having a hangover .

French Open: Mon, Day 2 of 15

04 07 29? Des Yatta 367

It seems I had managed to enter the under-18s, which is why I wasn't on the adult leader board yesterday.
(I must have thought it said under-81s)
However, they have kindly corrected this for me.

[SamD]

French Open: Tues, Day 3 of 15

Just one of the 128 first round fixtures awaits completion.
Fiso Aussie game champion, Des, takes over at the front with 488 points.
And yorkshiredragon, 3rd in Oz, is next on 464, a point ahead of scopsm.
Teams move up to ten rungs today but such yo-yoing should now slow down.
Only the top and bottom 50 overall positions are marked below.
