Topic: YODA CUP RULES!!!

YODA CUP CREW ON TOP AGAIN

New Yoda Cup member DRAGAN -- formerly known as GUGA -- WON the men's overall at Wimbledon.

Defending Yoda Cup champion TONO correctly predicted all 4 finalists and both winners.  No one will do that at the US Open.  TONO set the bar high.

No problem.  AIUR is currently FIRST OVERALL in both WOMEN'S and COMBINED!!!

UPDATE!!!  TONO, who is merely 4th in Yoda Cup itself, is the probable WINNER of the OBI WAN CANNOLI!  TONO marches on toward the title of EL CANNOLISTA GRANDE!!!  As you will recall, this is a league joined by no fewer than 17 glory hog wannabes with high early scores.  Take that, you sneaky interlopers!!!

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, GENTLEMEN!!!  YODA CUP RULES!!!!!!!

Re: YODA CUP RULES!!!

I think 2nd is the best I can finish Don...Dimaya has the same picks as me and is 1pt ahead of me hmm
But overall we are still showing our skill off in all of these comps as a group which is cool smile

Re: YODA CUP RULES!!!

He IS a point ahead of you!  I mistakenly thought you were tied with him and of course knew you would beat him on the tiebreaker.  That sucks.  Maybe CrossCourt or Arvis will have to WIN the Obi Wan Cannoli in your stead, mate.

A bunch of these pretenders don't even have Serena in the final, much less to win!  Even I, with my disastrous bracket from hell, will finally be moving up the leader board some.  Way too late to do much good, unfortunately.

Still, your observation is accurate.  We are doing well everywhere as a group.  That can only improve with time, too!

Re: YODA CUP RULES!!!

AIUR'S LEAD IN THE OVERALL MEN'S AND WOMEN'S COMBINED IS NOW UP TO 56 POINTS!!!

ARVIS is currently 13th!  Great job! 

That makes ARVIS the lowest ranked player in the overall combined within 100 points of AIUR!!!

I know I have the women's competition for sure now, but the overall is still very much in doubt. One wrong match prediction could do me in.

Re: YODA CUP RULES!!!

Upset? 
Fed or Nole? 
Rafa or Murray?

...and the winner is...

Right you are, Aiur.  Best of luck with that.  I think we all tend to stay with our pre-tourney predictions.  Sometimes you have to if you want to win.  Sometimes maybe not.  You only have a dozen people within 100 points of you. 

It's a math puzzle involving who's alive on their teams, who they picked pre-tourney, and who they pick now, eh?

Re: YODA CUP RULES!!!

There are now only TWO POSSIBLE WINNERS OF THE OVERALL COMBINED!
If Nole wins, AIUR is Overall Combined Champion!!!
If Rafa wins, gelloo team wins.
GO NOLE!

Re: YODA CUP RULES!!!

Congratulations AIUR. Very well played. Although you haven't locked up the overall combined category yet, you are uncatchable on the women's side.

Looking forward to playing again during AO12.
