Right people,
I think we are in the Battle Of The Board Competition where we battle against other tennis message boards in a big prediction contest for this year, more players the better. It looks like they operate a smaller schedule than our own predictions so shouldn't take up too much time.
Please add your name here if you can play and will give you a bit more info later...
Sign up sign up.. :P

I don't mind playing - but I think we need some of our champion predictors on board too liek Wise and Viva.

and what abotu dlo4? Fancy making a comeback after your somewhat premature retirement? :D

I don't mind participating, as long as I won't bring our overall score down to much! lol

i'll play :)

Does anyone know - do we stick in one set of predictions of lots cos I really haven't a clue. :unsure:

Sounds good though, ya never knwo we might win. I hope there is a huge cash prize ;)

I was just going to get some more info then but the Andy Murray site where I have been communicating with them is down..
We are going to be part of this..

looks very well run so hopefully we can put in a good showing as a board.
Cheers for the people signing up already and if you can think of other people on here to join the team pop them a PM to encourage them?

i'm in.

Cool, the more the merrier. Miss S, Pebs, Lex, DL Fah, Wise Tenez etc sign up people.
Apparently we were suggested by somebody this time last year but the organisers didn't think we had enough members so make sure you sign up now people.
Should be good for a laugh and would be great to get near the top on the Battle Of The Boards league table at the end of the year.

Just pop your name in here to sign up for now by the way.

I'll see who has played so far and see if they are interested. :ok:

sounds interesting, roughly how many predictions would we be making, does anybody know?

No idea as it's all new to me. Out yourslef down anyway and we'll keep you informed. :ok:

Btw dl has agreed to come out of retirement for this ... sorry haitus :lol: ...after winning the USO in 2005. :ok:

Well ive got a lot of modelling work on and a few premieres to attend, but im sure i can skip some tier 1s to make time for this :)

I'll play :D

I've ditched the drugs now so i'm out of my hiatus roflmao

Count me in too :)

Drugs don't help DL.. :tsk:
Ask Martina bout that! ;)

On the subject of Hingis, I had a bizarre dream last night about this forum delivering some very bad news...
Bliv had made a post about Hingis saying he had just heard on the radio that she had been found dead, apparent overdose. Then people on here started crying about it, I called the WTA and was trying to sort out arrangements for the funeral as we have a coachload of forum users who need to be there... very bizarre dream, quite upsetting too!

:blink:

Then I had another dream about some scientists wanting to take away a makshift garden seat I have as it has very expensive and medicinal type fungus growing on it.. :blink:

*wonders if someone slipped him some drugs last night*

Oh dont worry i have always have stupid dreams.......

one night i dreamt i had given birth to geese roflmao

Peeebbs yoo-hoo :wave: Look over here in this thread! Hint Hint.. ;)

:lmaao: :lmaao:

:blink:
I love bizarre dreams...

I often suddenly wake up but you have been sleeping on your arm so it is completely numb, then you lift up your arm to stretch but you have no control over it so it falls full force on your head and gives you a black eye :angry:

Good, cos that saves me PMing you to badger you :D

I'll play! :D

Cheers Felix :ok:

So far we have:

Miss SF
Jo
Trisco
dl04
Viva
BigTodger
Liam
fah
Felix

Anyoen else that wants to join please sign up - there are no limits as far as I am aware. And if anyone has any worries over whwther they will have time or whatever, please sign up anyway and you can alwyas have a trial and say no if it isn't for you. Sign up, sign up, or you'll get a PM bedgering you like many folks already have roflmao

:blink:

:lol:

Would you like to enter Pebs? You were next on the pestering by PM list, which is paying off cos 2 out of 4 signed up! :D

I tried and CC went down on me and I couldnt get back on

but yes, although I have no idea how its run, what I have to do or when - sign me up baby!

Cheers Pebs :hug: I don't knwo what it's going to be like either. Folk can always try and drop out if ti isn't for them.

I'm not around much at the weekends so may not be able to do it all the time but will happily sign up if you need the people.

I'm in B)

Cheers HP, so when can we start this? Anyone knwo what we do?

Cheers GS :)

Right folks, this is now up and running and we are on the list.

It is probably best to wait until Sunday to make your selection as the qualies will be known by then. You can pick now but we obviously don't know who the qualies are.

To enter, visit the website link below. It is very well run and self explanatory.

For your name or nickname it is probably best to use your Centre Court username. Please don't forget to select Centre Court Havoc as your team from the drop down list after putting in your username.

If the people who are taking part could send me your email address by PM, it will make it easy when a prediction contest is imminent, I will pop you a simple reminder email just to let you know. There are roughly 10 comps throughout the year I think so if you are not around when one is due you will be reminded through the email I send so if poss, make sure it is one you have access to regularly.
I promise the email will not be used for anything else and will only be used or seen by myslef.

So to get started, visit this website http://www.xlw93.dial.pipex.com/pickemef.htm?n=1
and good luck.
Hopefully, come the end of the year, Centre Court Havoc will be top of the Battle Of The Boards!

Cheers folks for participating. :ok:

Cheers Trisco :) I went and checked it out, we are indeed on the list and I will be doing mien once the qualies are out cos it looks like if you predict nwo you don't get a chance to go back and do the rest later.

Thanks for sorting it. :ok:

ive done mine, but i rushed it a little and looking at it afterwards, im not too sure :unsure: ive got baggy down to beat djoko, and thats probably my sanest prediction :crazy1:

Don't worry about it, you will still probably beat me and I'm gonna sit and have a think about it!

i'll do mine once the qualifiers are sorted.

btw, is this just for men's tournaments???

Looks like it, I can't find anything for the women. The people who set it up seem to be just to do with the ATP so I imagine they don't bother with the ladies...

dont blame em :lol:
