Provisional Standing of the ATP/WTA US Open Prediction Contest after Day 5 is available here

 

To all contestants.

The last Rounds of 32 matches will be played today. I will try my best to publish new brackets for the Rounds of 16 to Finals as soon as we know all the players in the Rounds of 16. From Rounds of 16, contestants are allowed to edit their predictions between rounds. This means contestants can edit their predictions for the Quarterfinals when all matches in the Rounds of 16 have been completed. Contestants doesn't have to fill out the full brackets when they get published. You only have to predict Set Scores + Winners for the upcoming rounds. Of course you can predict the whole bracket at once and later edit them when you are allowed to do so. I will announce here in the Prediction Contests Discussion thread when you are allowed to edit your predictions.

Yes. As I wrote in the post with the prediction design, from now on contestants will be allowed to edit their predictions between rounds. When all the matches in the Rounds of 16 have been completed, contestants can change/edit their predictions for the Quarterfinals. You put the names of all the quaterfinalists in the brackets and predict the score of those matches.

This makes no sense? I realize Djokovic was the run away favorite to win USO but since when every #1 favorite has to win all the Prediction game?

 

I'm totally against allowing edits just because the favorites doesn't win

 

What's the point of these prediction games anyway? I don't recall edits being allowed when Germany went out in group stage of the last World Cup?

Djokovic didnt loose the game but DSQ. That is a special occasion. I think the best for all would be that this outcome dont to be count for the prediction. No points for all

 

Also i agree it would be better not to allow edits from this stage and on (even if i lost many game results today)
