Rules

 

For this Prediction Contest you are predicting the result in sets (win of either team) for each match.

To do that, you have to write in the empty Cells the number of Sets each team will win in that particular match. Possible outcomes are 3-0, 3-1 or 3-2.

If your prediction is that Team 1 is going to win, you should type number "3" in appropriate Cell of T1 Column. If your prediction is that Team 2 is going to win a set or two or will end the match without winning a set, then type the number "1" or "2" or "0" in appropriate Cell of T2 Column. Do the opposite if your prediction is that Team 2 is going to win.
