ANOTHER COMPETITION TO KICK-OFF 2013!!!

How would you like to win this shirt?
Signed by 'oor laddie Andy Murray!
(That'd be Andy Murray, OBE!!!)

It's a wonderful way to kick-off 2013!!!

We're very lucky that it's been given it to us and winning it is easy!!!
Here's what you have to do ...

1. Guess the number of Aces that Andy will serve in his Singles matches at the Brisbane Intl event.
2. As a tie-breaker you must also post how many games you think will be played in the Final.
(regardless of whether Andy is in the Final or not ...)
You must post answers to both questions for your entry to count.

If there is a tie after that the winner will be whoever entered first.
You may edit your guesses up until the competition closes.
Entries must be posted in the open forum.

The deadline will be the start of Andy's first singles match.
He has a Bye in R1 so that'll be Tuesday 2nd January 2013.

What are you waiting for?
:dance:

It may be advisable for people entering to check the entry list in the first post before entering so as not to duplicate both the number of aces AND games when predicting. The reason being is that if there is a tie after the number of aces and games then the one who predicted first will win

Therefore if you want to edit your entry before the deadline mike Dewar (at least the number of games) I am happy to add the edited entry onto list. Just let me know

Andy plays his R2 match - and first match in Brisbane - on Thursday 3rd January.
We don't yet know the time but it could be anytime from 03.00hrs so there's a couple of days left to enter this competition 'cos the deadline is when he notches up his first competitive point of the 2013 season!!!

Keep 'em coming .......

7 aces in the final making a grand total of 22, and as the only person to guess correctly, that means James4578 is our winner!

Congratulations!
