FTD - general discussion

[Sallydaisy]

Jamie's not playing in a tournament this week so there won't be an FTD.

He's in the Olympics tennis event starting on Saturday 28th July,partnering Andy, so we'll set up FTM/FTD as appropriate once the draws are out on Thursday 26th July.

Are we predicting each doubles match for the Olympics, as I can only see the tournament FTD?

Yes but because Andy is partnering Jamie on this occasion it's in FTM instead and scores will count for FTM teams. We only follow them until they are knocked out and don't follow subsequent teams who beat them.

Thanks for the reminder GL; the forum technical hitch meant that a few threads set up around 10pm last night got lost and we forgot to replicate that one.

Doing it right now!

EDIT: I forgot to do the FTD thread in Jamie's!!!
:doh:

PLEASE NOTE - there were discussions (http://www.andymurrayfanforum.com/forums/showthread.php?50-FTM-general-discussion&p=58649&viewfull=1#post58649) earlier this year regarding setting up identical match threads by round in FTM and FTD when Andy and Jamie partner each other.

When we had 2 separate forums, and the Murrays played together, we did the following:-

am.com - all points scored count for FTM Leaderboard and FTM Teams
- FTM main singles draw
- FTM Andy's matches by round, Andy or subsequent victor if relevant, thru' to the Final
- FTM Andy's doubles matches until he was knocked out
All of this continues in the FTM - AM subforum (http://www.andymurrayfanforum.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?15-Forecast-The-Match-Andy-Murray)

jm.org - points scored count for FTD Leaderboard only
- FTM main doubles draw
- FTM Jamie's matches by round, then Jamie or subsequent victor if relevant, thru' to the Final
All of this continues in the FTM - JM subforum (http://www.andymurrayfanforum.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?29-Forecast-The-Match-Jamie-Murray)
BUT to avoid confusion the threads now begin with FTD to distinguish them from FTM.

This is why there are 2 threads for the Olympics for Andy/Jamie in the Mens Doubles.

Hi all
Jane is not around much this weekend and we can't yet set up FTD R3 as matches are yet to be played.

If anyone is able to set up FTD R3 tomorrow it'd be a great help.
It'll be Cabal/Farah v ???

:thanks:

I've just logged on to do the FTD for Cincinnati - the headline says deadline is Monday TBA (and as they are several hours behind us I assumed it would be this afternoon some time) - only to find that the thread is closed! :grrr:

If my entry can be accepted, it is:

1. Kontinen & Peers
2. Kontinen & Peers v Kubot & Melo
3. Kontinen & Peers v Herbert & Mahut; Kubot & Melo v Murray & Soares
4. Semis

Speedy put an explanation as to why the thread was closed: doubles rounds started yesterday (Sunday).

[Hawkeye]

Well, yes, but if someone had seen that it was Monday TBA and decided that there was no rush...

[Speedy Hawk]

I thought doubles start Monday like 99% time but this was unexpected start Sunday instead. So I close thread when I realised it started already.

[Linda]

Thank you Hawkeye, that is exactly what I did. I've now looked to see when the doubles matches started and there was only one match yesterday and it didn't involve anyone likely to make the semis.

[Linda]

Is there an overall FTD for mixed or do we only do the matches?

[hfwardhouse]

We only do the matches Linda.

Speedy Hawk - Will you be doing a FTD for Surbiton as Jamie is playing?

[Speedy Hawk]

I think skip it this week. I got too much with FTD RG, FTM RG and FTM for Andy too and I be away this Friday for week. Leave Jamie when I am back next week.

[Speedy Hawk]

Sorry forgot put up Delray final FTD thread. Final scores are in Semis thread.

[Speedy Hawk]

I don't feel very well this week so I just focus on Andy Murray FTM in Indians Wells and skip Jamie FTD. Will do Jamie next tournament so I should be better by then. Sorry if you are expecting FTD in Indian Wells.

[Big Al]

No problem. Need a break sometimes

[goldfish]

Hope you feel better soon Speedy.
