There's only a month to go before the WTF (:shocked:) and only 2 races left before the end of the championship. Both titles are still open so everything to play for.

If you need to remind yourself of the rules or you're new to this competition, then please read the rules posted here (http://www.andymurrayfanforum.com/forums/showthread.php?2241-Bubble-Gap-Championship-2016). The aim of this competition is to guess the bubble gap after Shanghai. The current race rankings are as follows:

The current bubble gap is 5815. That's Andy's score(8685) – Berdych's score(2870) = 5815.

Remember that the estimates below are assuming that the BG does not change any more this week. They will be updated as the tournaments progress.

The highest possible bubble gap is 6805. This is where Andy wins Shanghai and Berdych goes out in his 1st match with no-one overtaking him.
The smallest bubble gap is 5045. This involves Andy going out in the 1st round with Berdych winning Shanghai and Thiem being the finalist.

So in summary, your guess is between 5045 and 6805. 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 Shanghai are:

R1: 10
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: Monday 10th October, 6.00am UK time*

*I'm extending the deadline as I'm a bit late in posting this and Andy is still playing in China. This is a provisional deadline as the Shanghai website doesn't have a schedule available yet.

If Andy goes further, in China doesn't that increase the highest bubble gap?

Yes it does, I stated in the first post that the current BG and high/low ranges are based on current results. The info will be updated as results come in.

Hmm, whether to wait until after the final, risking being beaten to my preferred guestimate, or whether to jump the gun? :confused:

Had forgotten about that :shamed:

I am a big fan of late entries when it keeps Red Bull from getting a 1-2!!

Mind you I think even a 3-4 has probably sewn up both championships with a race to go. If I am right may I be the first to offer my congratulations to Linda and Red Bull. May be disappointed but don't want to act like a Donald Trump and say its rigged. I know if it was rigged it would be Manaus winning so it must be fair.

To my shame, I completely forgot about this race as I've had computer problems, and entered by adding one to James' score as it looked highish but not too high...:shamed:

Urm :thanks: James ;)

Well done to my teamie Linda too, as I'm assuming you did actually calculate it.

Linda
22-10-2016, 15:16
Yes, I did - but Berdy let me down by going out too early. He was meant to be in 9th place on 2960.
