2023 Women's USOSP Presents: Night of 1000 Winners!
That's right, folks--we have 15 (!) winners in this year's pool, all who fell just one match short of beating the draw because they used Coco too early.
Let's line 'em up and call 'em out, high school graduation style:
Fastbackss
Gacritter
Gff0
Jason11E
jazzyg
joanjettson
lukeorion
nelslus
Omegadoom
Omess
patmanmo
rktct2b
Stripes
sw195ae
Tolulops
TMQ sure is glad that awarding the virtual trophies is someone else's job.
This concludes our broadcast--the 2023 women's SP tour has come to a close. Thanks for joining me and dying 4 times (most of you), and I hope you'll reincarnate again and join us in 2024!

That has to be near or more than the most to ever win?
(And thank you for running it!)
Ps - hope nelslus printed something out so that fellow fans were aware of his success as he traipses around the grounds in NYC

I had a trophy superimposed with my undergarments- so I could fully enjoy this triumph privately.

AND, of course, congrats to all fellow Winners (we ARE graduates!!)- and thanks, as always, to JT and all mods for taking the considerable amount of time running these Pools. I think this is the first time I won one of these things while also being at the tournament? Exhaustion can definitely lead to the not best choices.

Hi, not sure why my name is not included. I checked the results thread and for some reason it shows "no pick" after my pick of Sabalenka. Like everyone else I made 11 selections and ran out of options. I have selected Sabalenka in Day 11 thread. Maybe I am missing something?

Re: 2023 Women's USOSP Presents: Night of 1000 Winners!
Well (pant), I just finished (pant) issuing everybody's trophy (wipes sweat from brow). If you find them to be (takes some water) a bit small, it is (pants and coughs) because there were so many we needed to (bends over and puts hands on knees) spread all the metal we had (pants, coughs, wipes sweat, takes a deep breath) to make them all. But, be proud (takes some more water, and sits down) that you won an SP which (pauses to catch breath) indeed, has to be the one with the most winners ever.
I congratulate everybody (starts rubbing the Bengay on his right arm) but please, don't do this again!!!! (gets stricken by a bout of coughing). Do like the rest of us (decides it is not such a bad idea to dial 911) and pick BHM in day 3, or Garcia in day 1 (girlfriend comes over and puts hand on his forehead). Get on a bandwagon with epileptic horses at the helm!!!!
CONGRATS TEAM!!! Hope you DON'T WIN AT THE AUSSIE (because issuing those 15 trophies did take some time. Now, sorry, time for the ice bath)
If anybody's trophy is not in your chest, let me know.

Congrats to ALL of my fellow medalists! What a ride that was!
Huge amount of thanks goes to JTContinental, for not only running this contest, but for the hilarious commentary provided by TMQ. You are, to quote the Tina Turner song, "Simply The Best!"
Thanks to Ponchi as well, for ALL of the hard work in forging and delivering so many medals! Hope you recover soon!

Re: 2023 Women's USOSP Presents: Night of 1000 Winners!
You are not missing something--I transposed yours and rktct2b picks. That means you are one of the 15 winners, and rktct2b sadly was out of picks before the semifinals.sokol wrote: βFri Sep 08, 2023 2:35 pm Hi, not sure why my name is not included.

No problem, I know it's a lot to manage, and errors happen. I was so excited I made it to the end, it was some years since I got a medal, and was confused not to see my name, so all good.JTContinental wrote: βFri Sep 08, 2023 5:48 pm

Thank you to everyone who runs these and make Slams more exciting and stressful for us, lol.
Congrats to all the winners!
Re: 2023 Women's USOSP Presents: Night of 1000 Winners!
Despite being one of the players who has participated since 2005, I have been in a slump for several years (or I am just getting old), so this feels pretty good to share in 1/15 of a participation ribbon.
Go Coco and Carlitos!!

Well done, everyone. I'd love to know from you guys what your biggest risk/worry was.

I almost lost three times in a row during the 1st week, but the only risky pick was Minnen over Vickery in the second round. Ostapenko and Zheng came very close to losing their third round matches but always were going to determine the outcome themselves.
