US Open: Picks Game Mothership

Updated - Sunday Sept 9 Mens Final now up

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more,

Or close the wall up with our English dead.

Well, Tim Henman is (as I write this on Day 5 of the Open) ... er, dead.  Deceased.  Snuffed it.  Bereft of life, he rests in peace.

The hardest thing to predict is the future.

That's just what we've done for a number of tournaments, and Pete has given the green light for another Picks Game.  Here's how it's going to work.  Same concept as before: Mens and Womens singles matches from R32 onwards.

You will come back to the Mothership, this post, for the layout that you're going to use.  It will be updated each day for the continuing matches in the tournament.

New players, or ones who need a reminder, please consult the Wimbledon game for the way the rules work.  But basically, all I need is a 1 after the player you think will advance to the next round:

Mothball - DeathStar 1
Jestocost 1 - McBain

Copy the layout below into the Comments, add your 1s, and you're good to go.  Expressions of confidence, fearlessness or existential dread (hi Bismarck!) are optional.

I will tally results over the course of the tournament, and will post a leaderboard from time to time, likely in the form of a Crisis Center.  I will also aggregate the Tribe's results and see how we do collectively, and see if there's any patterns that emerge from looking at different tournaments.

Sunday 9/9

F Men

Federer  -  Djokovic

Hope everyone's had fun.  Full wrap up Monday.
