SIMPLE OUTPUT (Author and post)

by dave g Time to start trying to avoid death. Immediately below is a GOOGLE FORM for you to enter your picks. If you can use the form, please do. Also, please copy and paste your pick in the PICK slot, so that all people who pick a given person have the name spelled the same. If, for some reason, you can not get the form to work, you may post your pick on this thread.
If you change your mind, just enter another pick in the form. The form produces a time stamp for when you made your entry, so that I can easily tell which pick is your last.
The deadline is when the first players take to the court. No picks will be accepted after that time.

Please click on this link to use the form:

by dave g I thought that I ought to give an explanation for why we are using Google Forms. In talkabouttennis.com (version 1.0) we had a script that would go through all of the pick posts and place the user name and the post contents into a text file. However, this website does not support the languages used to create that script. So, to avoid having to type the user names and picks from each post into a spreadsheet, we opted to use Google Forms. You get to the form by clicking on the blue link just above the top of the picks. Using this line will make my work much easier.
Thank-you.

Are we to use the form AND post in here, or do you want us to just use the form?

No. Use just the form, please. Only post here if you have problems using the form. The form will automatically put the results into a spreadsheet for me, which will save me a lot of work.

1. Unfortunately, there is no way to view your pick within the Google Form that I know of. Currently, I am the only person who can view the submitted picks.
2. Yes, if you want to change your pick, go through the link a second time. Each time you submit a pick using the form, the record will have a time stamp so that I can easily tell which pick was your final selection.

Thanks for that information. I didn't see that. She is in the bottom half of the draw, which is the half that is playing today. If anyone has picked her (unlikely), I will treat that match like rain delayed match in previous majors. That is, that match will count as a Day 1 match, and anyone picking her will have to pick a second Day 2 match and then have both of their picks win to progress.

I am assuming that they are giving her a day off between final today her first match. I have no idea when they think she will be able to be back in sync with the rest of her half.
