View Full Version : TFF Dream Team competition Australian Open 2012
Entries are now open for the TFF Dream Team comp for AO.
If you've entered before, you need to re-register in order to play (they set it up anew for each slam).
For those who haven't entered before, 'Tennis For Free' run this competition in the hope of raising funds. You can, if you wish, donate to Tennis For Free when selecting your Dream Team but it's not compulsory. The website is here: http://www.tffdreamteam.com/ausopen/index.php
You have to register and then pick your teams for both the men's and women's singles. Only once you have picked your teams does it give you the opportunity to join a group. I've set up our group as Andy Murray Fan Forum and the password is fa1fc97c32ef38cb25b893efe6c4d936. I'm sorry that this password is so long but I didn't choose it, they allocate it to us. I suggest copying and pasting it when joining the group.
It's very easy to pick your teams and they can be changed up until the start of play.
For everyone who enters and joins our group, the men's dream team only counts towards our Champion of Champions.
ETA: Just a thought, can everyone who enters post in here what their team name is. As I don't have access to last time's list. Thanks very much.
feels like a slam is imminent
thanks linda

I'm in .... although I may make changes once the draw is out (if I remember that is :rolleyes:)
I've got to remember to go back and do my picks proper - I just chose the 10 cheapest players for both sections so I could set up the group.
I just need to remember, full stop!

Me too!! :lol:
I'm in. Ally's Muppets seemed appropriate - although I then picked Andy so will probably be villified and hounded out by some members!
I'm in - obvious team name as always :)
By the way, I won't be able to post an update in this thread tomorrow 'cos I'll be at work all day, then straight from there to Spanish class, then straight from there to our Sunday School leaders' annual meal out. What a busy life I lead!
its only after the second day (everyone should have played) that you get an idea how things are going anyway
True - on Tuesday I go running after work, but should eventually get on here to post an update!

Daisy Roots is in.
Just joined. My team name is karanga. :boogie:
There is about 5 folk from CC taking part, in case a few names in the league don't look familiar. I've asked for the names that they have chosen
I know mojoworking is a CC person, what about FTW?
Quick copy & paste of the current standings. Tomorrow morning when I'll have some time (I've been at work then at running club today and only just got in) I'll do a nice table and find out who the others are.
http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd287/Granny_Linda/Rankings/TFF.jpg
My guess is that Czechoholic is CC's nevets..
And Liam_valid is a CC poster
FTW might be another CCer - I shall ask around :)
So, taking all CC's out, puts me in 10th place! making the table not look so bad, still have a chance of COC points!
That's only after the first round . . . it could all change yet!
That's only after the first round . . . it could all change yet!
Here's hoping!
FTW is indeed another CCer.
It is Jack NG.
I had a feeling that it might be one of the younger posters, given the name!!

Got this e-mail a few days back. Do not know if it is still relevant.
================================================== ====
I (janeInScotland) tried to register on the web-site (just now so that I could post the info below) but the first thing it wanted was my date-of-birth which I won't give. I gave today's date - so it said my parent/guardian had to sign - so I tried 1 Jan 1900 - too early - so I advanced it to earliest year which is 1902 (do you really anticipate 110-year-olds registering? Indeed I may use that year, if I register, but I'm nowhere near that old!) Registration accepted 1 Jan 1902 - but still my parent/guardian had to sign :-/ confused.
So have asked Maza to post the info for me (thanks Maza).

Ace - what did you have in mind? Oversized Brocoli?
Thanks, Maza & JIS.
Whenever I want to enter a random date of birth for any reason (such as a new person on the payroll for whom I haven't yet got their date of birth - Sage payroll won't add them without a date of birth) I always enter 01.01.1970 - rather strange to go for today's date or 1900 (it certainly wouldn't do for payroll, anyway!)!
Here's the list for our men's team after day 3 (half way through R2). Hopefully I've got everyone's names right now!
http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd287/Granny_Linda/Rankings/TFF2.jpg
At present, our group's men's team is 8th in the mini-league (out of 51 groups)! :cheer:

Linda - please can you PM me the url of your 'image'?
I cannot see ANY of the charts you post so I might have to go into my Firefox Tools and dig out the spanner that will enable me to view images from your computer.

J - Thanks but I couldn't see that at all - and I needed the url so I could check something out and my hunch was right. For some reason I'd got i227.photobucket on block; so now I've allowed it there won't be a problem!!!
was there an x there (depicting image not avalable) as im sure when thats there you can right click and copy image location

S'ok now.
:thumbup:
You blocked my photobucket account! :shocked::crying:
I noticed that FTW and Czechoholic are doing very well on the WTA side - they're both in the top 20 in the individual Dream Team table, I think.
Czechoholic is also top 20 in the WTA/ ATP combined table.
Andy Murray Combined table here:
two men down. that averages out at one a round, keep that rate up and i will have 3 men in the final
Here's the men's table for our group at the end of R2:
http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd287/Granny_Linda/Rankings/Tff3.jpg
very tight,20 points separate top 9
Whereas I am way down in 17th place and have lost most of my players :crying:
I see that Ally's Muppets are living up to their name ;)

Surprised how high my team is. Women's section is a bit lean on the ground now though.
be nice to see my million dollar punt lacko, have a nice long five setter
I never studied the scoring for this. The few players that are winning for me are doing it too easily!
Is that really me...........? :shocked:
Is that really me...........? :shocked:think you have this in the bag all your players won again you have only lost three so far
think you have this in the bag all your players won again you have only lost three so far
BLIMEY!!!!! Where did I go wrong - me reputation's ruined.
I see that Ally's Muppets are living up to their name ;)
So is "Pabbers Powerhouse".
I'll have to think of a better name next time ;)
Here's the position at the end of R3. As there was some interest in the overall and women's tables, I've included them too - but remember only the men's table counts for CoC.

I'm doing quite well in the women's but can't say the same in the men's!
Me too - and that seems to happen every time. I think I must try to be too clever when picking my men's team and trip myself up, whereas for my women's team I just pick some that I've heard of.
Grrrr Lankster's overtaken me - just wait till I get my hands on that young whippersnapper at DC :lol:
I am bottom and have only two players left, and they are due to meet in the QF. :sad:

its cazza who has passed you
I know you enjoy me saying this but..........I'm confused :confused: - she's not ahead of me on any of the tables I've looked at..........
On the men's table on the website - I haven't copied it over here yet - here it is (http://www.tffdreamteam.com/ausopen/mygroup.php?leaderboard) - Cazza is 1st and you are 2nd.

Aha - thanks, Linda. Right - just wait till I get my hands on Cazza - not likely to be any time soon though :lol:
Anyway, Cazza may be top of the men's table, but she's bottom of the women's!

I shall refrain from commenting!
you just did
I suppose i really meant to say "I shall refrain from gloating!" And I have both Linda's remaining players in my five so it can't come back to bite me.
how you so low with five remaining ?
'cos the other 5 were all ***** lol.
I only have one man and one woman left (Andy and Kim) :sad: But I see that I am no longer bottom (chart to follow).
Pabbers is back in the lead!
http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd287/Granny_Linda/Rankings/TFF4.jpg
gonna get real intresting now
I don't think it's going to get very interesting for me :crying:
Looks like CC is doing the front-running on the WTA side - and AM forum on the ATP side.
A bit like 'my side-your side' in doubles, perhaps?!
Pabbers is 13th overall on the ATP side. Czech and FTW are 11th and 12th respectively on the WTA side.
FTW is 13th overall too.
Good stuff!
http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd287/Granny_Linda/Rankings/TFFR45.jpg
I'm bottom. And I only have one player left in (Andy). :sad:

It's most unusual for my men to be doing better than the women :rolling: .... I still have 2 men left - Rafa and Andy ... but the girls are all gone!!!
I still have Roger and Andy left in the mens, and three (all but Shreikapova) in the womens! Unfortunately my other 7 women scored a massive 77 points between them! :doh:
I still to this day can't figure out why I always do so well with the women's team and complete rubbish with the men's.
I'd better find my boxing gloves. Pabbers has overtaken me again. ;)

thanks linda
42 points in it both cazza and pabbers have andy pabbers will definetly lose one before the final as she has nole to, cazza could get two with the goat her other player
can the goat outscore nole by 42 over two rounds ?

Do I look bovvered........:whistle:
Meanwhile I only have my two winners left - Andy and Kim.
Do I look bovvered........:whistle:think you should be ok you have a guaranteed finalist so you have a guaranteed 3 more scores to add , best cazza can hope for is one extra score
http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd287/Granny_Linda/Rankings/TFFS.jpg
thanks linda ,
pabbers has this sewn up, and looks like a three way tussle for the remaining podium places, cazza & MkII are out of players so i need a handful of games from nole for third, and 13 for second
dont think any rafa pickers are close enough to come into contention
Meant to say ages ago in the CoC thread that points should go down to 18th. What do you all think?

Pabbers' men's team is not only 1st in our group but 1st overall! Very well done Pabbers! :clap: :clap:
In the mini league our group dropped to 14th (having been 6th for the past couple of days).

I know that you have your ATP table thing going on - but I don't know how many folk have seen the overall leader table for this?
Firstly - the Overall Leader Board:
373
Well done to Upside Down!!
Now - the ATP leader board:
374
Well done Pabbers!!!! :trophy:
I am thinking that picking Kei Nishikori was a pretty good pick for you?
and the WTA leader board:
375
well, my Baseline Pushers did pretty well - picking Makarova for this turned out to very handy. And well done to Jack's FTW too :)

Yes, I'd long backed Nishikori as an outsider in things, then he started to let me down, so I abandoned him but I decided to give him a second chance this time. THANKS KEI!!!!
Well done Pabbers!!!!!!!!
