C.O. Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Hey tennis fans The Australlian has started! Anyone on here who likes tennis should when we get to the final 32 or maybe 16 make up a bracket for their picks and we can have a competition on the site see who does best. Like march madness basketball bracket (we should do that later too). I will be back on with my brackets for mens and womens singles soon.

Guest Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 We can write in Federer as an automatic and pick everyone else around that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 We should do forum brackets for every major event! If we can get enough people interested, it could be pretty sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 anyone play the yahoo fantasy sports games?We could start a VBF league for each sport.I'm totally game for it!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I haven't played fantasy sports in years, but I might be up for it if someone sets it all up for us and I'll have to do is fill in the blanks. Let us know man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Yahoo has games for nearly every sport you can imagine. The current ones are Golf (just started but we can still start a league) and NASCAR you simply pick your players for the week and see what happens.If a few people are interested I'll create leagues Of course this will create a few new threads I like the sound of this..... The VBF fantasy sports federation!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Let's do it! JW, do you want to be in charge of setting it up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.O. Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 OKay if you go to australianopen.com pic the draws tab at the top of the page. Then select printable draws each catagory. Since its already started just fill in your pics for the final 16 all the way through to the winner. You can post now if you have some tennis knowledge or wait until the 32 are done to start BUT if you wait try and make sure that you post before any one advances to the final 16. I am a cocky bastard so I will make my pics today and hope their are not a whole lot of unpredictable upsets from now on. I can't believe baghdatis went out so early... If someone knows where to find or how to make a tiny bracket that we can all paste in here let me know.

robert Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I feel ya. I think we can figure it out. I don't recognize many of these names but I'll fill one out too. I was going to pick Pete Sampras to win it all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.O. Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 Hey also if some of my people dont make the 32....and I am like the only one that picks before the 32 are done... then I think I should get the people that beat who I picked into the 32 for the 16. Sound fair to anyone that wants to post pics early like me?

C.O. Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 Hey I thought there was going to be at least 4 or 5 of usdoing this tennis bracket but im the only one that posted.... If you are going to do it and you dont already know the results try and pick from the 16 on by looking at the 32. Dont cheat if possible or just pick who is left to play from now on or the rest of the bracket of 8... Go Serena! Come back time baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.O. Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share Posted January 24, 2007 Go USA. Ya roddick seems to be playing his best tennis and Serena is back. This has been a fantastic tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 We don't have the numbers yet man. I'm trying to get more and more people involved. I just get burned out and can't keep up with everything. I've missed the whole tournament and didn't get a chance to register online or anything like that. I'm trying for this fantasy sports league thing. Right now I can barely stay awake. I didn't sleep much. But yeah, as more and more people get on the forum, these things will be more popular. Just give us time to grow and we'll show you that we know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
