3 out on SFs day.

Garbine Muguruza became the first Spanish woman since Sanchez Vicario to make the Wimbledon final, defeating Aga Radwanska in three sets. seansnotmyname@, U.R. Correct and fatsi just miss out as a result.

Situation for the final is fairly straight forward. Everyone apart from Janielovesyou has Serena left. So depending on the final we'll either get a six way shared win or a seven way shared win ”

I know its your comp and your rules Nathers but surely its a 6 way tie either way isn't it ? Janie is out as she doesn't have a player in the final, how can she still win ? Isnt the trick to get to as many rounds as you can ?
DimSum

I still have Federer to pick in the final while everyone else does not.And no Djokovic either.Am I the outright winner?

She got through to the final like everyone else. If Serena wins the the final then it's a six way tie as those six have got further than Janie.

3 out on Day 11.

tso, The Net and EPY lose out at the SF stage after Roger Federer advanced to his tenth Wimbledon final at the expense of Andy Murray.

Situation for the final:

1) If Federer beats Djokovic then DimSum wins the comp outright.
2) If Federer loses to Djokovic then it's a 3 way tie.

That's the bit I don't get I have to be honest. As she cannot pick anyone in the final then I don't see how she got through to the final. Likewise in the men's. I can still be one of the winners but only Dim has a player left. He asked the question is he the winner, but only if Fed wins does he win.

I must admit I have misinterpreted the rules, my own fault. I've assumed ( wrongly ) that you try to get somebody in the final. I fancied Murray to win the whole things hence I saved him for the final. Sorry about that

Because her SF player won.

Look at it this way:

Janie cannot provide a pick for the final. Everyone else has Serena.
All 7 remaining players have 9 winning picks.
If Serena loses that remains the case.
If Serena wins, everyone else has one more winning pick.

I've been running the comp this way since AO 2014, it just made the most sense to me. If everyone felt like you should advance further because you have a pick left regardless of whether that pick wins or not then I'd be ok with that. This situation has come up before in previous comps and no one has complained so I assumed people were cool with it. Maybe I'm wrong.

No it's fine but I'm guessing both myself and Dim, judging by his question have both misunderstood how it works. I've never made week 2 so I've never come across it before

Ps - not complaining, querying

No selection available.

Hi Nathers,

Your rules are totally fine by me - and not just because in this case it means I have a chance of winning, which I wouldn't have if the rules were different.

Player(s) with the most number of successful picks wins - simple as that.

Thanks for running a very enjoyable competition.
