Qualifiers have now been placed in the draw, you still need at least one more player in order to have a full team. Good luck!

BOTB ON TWITTER

BOTB is now on twitter - as an experiment, we'll be using it to post short items that people need to know about quickly, e.g. when the draw with qualifiers placed is available, any late withdrawals we happen to find out about, some quick updates on day 1 before all the results pages are ready, announcements that we need to get back to teams quickly and so on, though there won't be more than a handful of posts each day. Feel free to follow us at http://twitter.com/botb1 and you'll probably be one of the first to know what's going on!

he Roland Garros 'Battle of the Boards' pick 'em contest is now open for entries at http://www.britishtennis.net/Competitions.html - qualifiers have already been placed in the draw.

As last year, 16 main draw matches are due to be played this weekend, so entries will close at 09.00 GMT (10 am UK / 11.00 CET / 5 am US EDT) on SUNDAY.

With a Sunday deadline, I doubt we will hit the 500 entrant limit this time, but there is an outside chance that we might. If we do, anyone in the top 250 of the overall rankings after Rome will get in as long as they enter before the deadline, but other places will be filled on a first-come first-served basis. So, if you are not in the top 250, I would suggest not leaving it until the very last minute to enter.

There are links to the overall rankings, entries processed so far (which will be updated every few hours) and a more detailed explanation of how the 500 entrant limit would work if it was needed at http://www.britishtennis.net/Competitions.html.

Roland Garros BOTB history

Roland Garros BOTB had 43 entries in 2007, when the Shedman (BT) won it (as with me winning Rome that year, something tells me that's never going to happen again!) with goldfish (BT) in 2nd, kayce (AM) in 3rd and AM.com winning the team competition, which was still just AM v BT at that stage.

In 2008, it had nearly eight times as many entrants (340) and hebegeebee (IN), the only entrant who picked Monfils to reach the semis, won by some distance, with Linda (AM) 2nd and Jack (TA) 3rd.

TAT won the teams league and finished 3rd in the KO on their debut and of course they have just completed their first year as a BOTB team by taking over the no. 1 spot in the overall rankings. The team they dislodged from the top slot, Team CC, finished 2nd in the teams league at RG 2008 and won the KO. This means that two of the top three teams in the overall rankings have masses of points to defend, which should makes things even more interesting! The Dammitaires finished 3rd last time.

Overall rankings

If you missed them at the time, the overall team and individual rankings after Rome can be found here - note that the points for both MC 2008 and Rome 2008 came off after Rome 2009 since we dropped MC this year, it no longer being a mandatory ATP event.
