I propose a contest for the Cincy tournament. Winner gets some pride and the respect of the board (unless someone has some old AVP stuff they are willing to part with for a prize).
Select the finish of each of the teams in the men's and women's main draw. You get 1 point for each correct 7th place finish, 3 for each 5th, 5 for each 3rd, 7 for each 2nd and 10 for each 1st (70 total possible points). Tiebreaker is the combined number of points scored in both the men's and women's finals.
Entries are due by 9:30 am eastern on Friday.
My picks:
1st - Rogers/Dalhausser & Akers/Turner
2nd - Hyden/Scott & Kessy/Ross
3rd - Strickland/Wachtfogel, Jennings/Gibb, Branagh/May-Treanor & Davis/JJJ
5th - Carumbula/Grotowski, Mariano/Ratledge, Walsh/Hanson & Hochevar/Denechoccea
7th - Lucena/Heath, Keenan/Olson, Ivy/Rutlege & Lima/Scott
Total points in both finals = 178
Who else is in?

Great idea! I'll throw in a copy of my "Order On The Court" book and a vintage Tim Hovland player card, as part of the prize pool.

@ indybill Schweet! I won't get there until Sat. a.m., and can catch up to you and others thru Sunday. I'll be the guy trying to film Carambula's skyballs!

OK, Lucena/Fuerbringer is no more ... at least for Cincy. Apparently Lucena/Heath is the team now for this weekend. Who?
Probably want to change my picks.

Well Mayer/Prosser lost in the Quali to Carumbula/Grotowski, so people may want to update again.
