Substitute
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.

All forecasts
As the 2020 Open has been cancelled, four Fisons earn a point each.
Boddington is initial leader by dint of being the earliest entry.
Do say if there's any query, thanks.

Re: Fiso Forum 2020 Sports Predictor * when play could resume *
Assuming all goes to plan, well played to those who plumped for an August FA Cup Final.
But only just.

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.
