So much red track, so much dust, so much dirt on my feet. It can only mean one thing, we're at the start of the clay court season and we begin at the streets of Monte Carlo. :)

As always rules are posted here (http://www.andymurrayfanforum.com/forums/showthread.php?1630-Bubble-Gap-Championship-2013&p=116180&viewfull=1#post116180). The leader board is also there updated with results from the 1st 3 races. The aim of this competition is to guess the bubble gap after Monte Carlo. The current race rankings are as follows:

The current bubble gap is 1580. That's Andy's score(2630) – Tsonga's score(1050) = 1580.

2 250 tournaments are running this week - Houston and Casablanca. Red players are in Houston and green players are in Casablanca. Players in grey are not playing in Monte Carlo.
Only Almagro can affect the BG this week and that's only if he wins Houston, which would reduce the BG by the grand total of 10 points. :)

The highest possible bubble gap is 2580. That's Andy winning the title, Tsonga going out in his 1st match and no-one else overtaking him.
The smallest bubble gap is 845. This involves Andy going out in his 1st match with Tsonga winning Monte Carlo and Gasquet the finalist.

So in summary, your guess is between 845 and 2580. If you don't want to do any maths then just guess a random number and see how things turn out!
Remember that you can't guess the same number as someone else and once you've posted your guess you can't change it.

Ranking points on offer at Monte Carlo are as follows:


R1: 0
R2: 45
R3: 90
QF: 180
SF: 360
F: 600
W: 1000

Good luck to all who take part and may the best driver win! :trophy:


Deadline: Sunday 14th April, 10.00am

13 drivers arrive on the coast of Monaco for the first race on the (in?)famous devil dirt. Frankly a lot of the drivers would rather go sight seeing but they're quickly ushered off to start qualifying.

With tyres(and somehow 1 person) covered in red dirt DaveArneRiise finishes qualifying with the fastest time by a long shot to take pole position for the first time this year.
Cazza99 and Sallydaisy come up next with very close times, the former just squeaking past by a split second.
JAMES4578, pabbers and Miami winner Elenive take up 4th-6th positions, Yorkie, current leader Linda and jaysee take up 7th-9th and the final point scoring position is filled by Manaus.

Probably time to put on my dust mask and Bernie, could you stand in front of me - no particular reason, thanks. :whistle:

Well that was rather anti-climatic. A false start caused by clay getting into the engines creates a major delay with the engineers hurriedly trying to fix all the cars. By the time the work is done however all the drivers have gone. :confused: Looks like they got bored waiting and went off sight seeing or something. Bernie, get your capture net and round them up before the next race thanks. You've got a couple of weeks, plenty of time. :)

Well done to DaveArneRiise, cazza99 and Sallydaisy. :clap: Pretty dull sadly, personally I'm fed up with the clay already but still 3 races to go on the stuff so we march on. Madrid next and hopefully better things to come from Andy.
