My score isn't in the table? I'm in the spreadsheet and I have a score, 14. Just not in the pic you posted?

Well, there is this little problem with Excel that, if you DON'T WRITE THE NAME DOWN, the table entry won't work. Right?
My bad. I did not pick your tab. You are correct, you have 14 points. Tomorrow's update will show that.

With 2R over, we can say:
We are not getting any better at this game. Just a few players have 4 picks left. Most are at 1-2. IronMike secured the Wooden Spoon, running out of picks with 3 points to his credit.
At the top, Cyborgshoes stands with 29 points and 4 picks left, so he looks fine. But, right behind is Tolulops, with 27 points, and three picks. Not over yet.
The link has been updated. Check it to see if the scores are correct. The summary is here:

I didn't get the perfect score. One of my players actually lost but then her opponent won in the next round so a pretty clean sheet

My 3rd round prospects are pretty dim but it was an honor to spend one day at the top!

Because I am inputting the picks manually, please check them. There are several Asian last names that are very similar and we need to make sure you got the right one.

I think there might be a couple of errors in the second round. You have Cressy winning, but Rune actually beat Cressy.

Also, on the WTA side, Zhu beat Teichmann, but I believe the scores show the opposite.

I could be reading the scoring wrong of course.

No. You read them right. I had those two results inverted. Let me check how much did it affect overall scores.
Txs!

After a couple of corrections thanks to Weefunk, we ended 3R and the contest has gone.... horribly for most.
10 participants have no picks left, and Peterskan, sitting on top, has only 3. With all these Mmoh's and Wolf's and Shelton's doing so well, we are doing very poorly.
PeterSkan is in a choice position to get this spoon, as the rest of us wonder what happened. When did J.J. Wolf learn to play so well?
We will most likely never know.

Poncho, I was not credited with 4 points for my number 1 women’s thread still going. So I should have gotten 7 points for round 3, for a total to date of 30. Many thanks for running this. You know I am a YVWJ fan, though I have managed never to win it.

It's Ponchi, Glenn,! Poncho is my dumb brother!
You are right. Your 1st place pick was not tabulated.
With that score, you moved up the score and you have 3 picks left too. Very much in contention.
The online score has been updated, and this is the new table:

My spell-check always changes your name to “Poncho”. I try to remember to change it, but I missed it this time. Thanks for fixing the scores. Being in contention is rare for me in YCWJ. GH

With the 4R over, this are the standings: Peterskan remains in 1st place, and has only 1 pick. But, his 1 pick is Korda. Sokol is in 2nd, but he has TWO picks: Lehecka as 1st, Korda as 3rd. So, if Korda losses and Lehecka wins, this comes close to over. But, if BOTH lose, it gets even tighter, and it will go on a little longer.
Good (bad) luck to both.

Check your picks, because I have already made a few mistakes.

With the semis incoming:
Peterskan and Sokol are in the running. But, there is an interesting dynamic:
Sokol has two picks, in 2nd place. But she has Tsitsipas in 1st, and Khachanov in 3rd.
But PeterSkan has Khachanov in 1st. So, Khachanov gives them both points, but at different rates. It will boil down to Tsitsipas losing (or not).
As always, check your tabs, to see if I made a mistake.

Ooh - exciting finish for this one. Multiple people could be picking the men's Wooden Spoon.

I didn't visit this site for a while, since I was out of SP in the first 4 days, and I never do well in YCWJ. I came in to see how badly I did this time, and turns out I am still in the running? Lol
But Tsitsipas will win obviously, so...

And I know it is strange, but sokol is a she )), long story

The scoring is almost set.
With Khachanov's death, Peterskan has secured the win. He has Tsitsipas and so does Sokol, but PeterSkan has him at a higher position, and is in first place. So, when Novak mauls Stefanos, he will collect the points and the bonus.
Check your tables, to make sure I have it right.
