The Ozzy Open has a trivia quiz - http://apps.facebook.com/aotrivia/
The Ozzy Open has its own pick em (which is different to the BOTB pickem) - http://www.australianopen.com/en_AU/fancentre/pickem/index.html
The tennis channel have a bracket challenge, fairly similar to the ATP bracket challenge (I have not checked this time but in the past only Americans could win prizes) - http://www.tourneytopia.com/RacquetBracketAussieOpenATP/AussieOpenATP/default.aspx
The trivia quiz is fun. My max score is 367 so far.
Why is it that all these things want you to log in with Facebook? And then want permission to post in your name? I don't like it. I did it with one comp and didn't at all like what they posted in my name - and as I rarely visit Facebook I didn't discover it until several days later. :grrr:
I think I am going to set up a special tennis facebook page so I can be anonymous to get round this problem.

That's a really good idea - if I was a serious Facebook user I'd probably do the same!

A lot of people do that - although theoretically it's against Facebook rules. If they became aware of it, I guess they could ban you, but as long as you're fairly sensible with naming and so on, that's extremely unlikely - it's a very widespread practise.

I see Xe has had a go! Good luck.
Not sure what to make of this - if you click on the photos you can see people's names.......privacy etc? Kids may not think. Probably just showing my age :shamed:

The kids' photos would be taken by the parents so I guess they have permission and perhaps the parents' names are under the photos. But in some cases not. Tough when it comes to kids in these types of competitions
Doubt very much so that I would win but was a fun picture to try and do :)

Looks as though one of the other Pick'em teams is going for broke and offering us an alternative to 'Splash'.
TATtweets @TATtweets (https://twitter.com/TATtweets) The 2013 Australian Open Suicide Pool is open for picks!
Enter by start of play Monday (Sun afternoon/evening in US): http://bit.ly/1180SVp (http://t.co/tbHOlei1)
I sent them a reply ...
Sallydaisy @SallyDaisy10is (https://twitter.com/SallyDaisy10is) @TATtweets (https://twitter.com/TATtweets) Is this a variation of Splash but without Tom Daley? #ausopen (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23ausopen&src=hash) #splash (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23splash&src=hash) #confused (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23confused&src=hash).com
I just tried to join in order to play it but they won't accept my email address :grrr:
Further to my post, they had a contact address so I explained the problem - the admin mod set up my account for me so now I've joined TAT and am doing the Suicide Pool and also another comp they had on there as well! (You can't keep me away from tennis comps.)
I'm doing the daily pick'em on the AO site as well (although I missed Brisbane and the first day of Sydney/Hobart 'cos I didn't realise it had started).

"Is Andy happy or angry" quiz. (http://graphics.wsj.com/quiz/?slug=murray&standalone=1)I only got 6/11 so it is really hard to discern the difference.
I scored 11 out of 11!
Is it really sad that for a couple of them, I actually recognised the match the photo came from? (Particularly the Kohlschreiber French Open one!)
Take care...
I managed 9 - lucky guesses on a lot!
I only got 5 right. When I got the first three wrong, I was wondering if I would get them all wrong! It must be very hard to live with someone whose expressions are so hard to read (I really wanted to use that little wavy-mouthed smiley here but couldn't find it).
Oh dear...not sharing my score!!! You'd think I'd know better having followed Andy since he was 17.
I only got 5 too. I was trying to gauge his eyes but that didn't help either!
Came across this looking to find most slam semis
Quiz http://m.sporcle.com/games/mpolzkill...n-the-open-era
Interesting that Andy is 12th on the list and only 3 grand slam semi victories behind MacEnroe and has more than Mats Wilander
