Closing entries should be made by 12 midnight tomorrow, as Heather and Katie are likely to be in action in the wee small hours of New Years Day. Thanks RBBOT for the technical help, sadly though a step ahead of my very poor technical brain. Therefore if thegingerlightbulb could provide a final summary it would be very much appreciated. Indiana's JoKo prediction of 210 needs to be inserted as well.
I have a lot of free time at the moment, as I've mucked up my sleeping pattern by staying up to listen to the Ashes. But at least I'll be ready for the Aus Open. I've filled in the gaps above, and added a highest and lowest predicted ranking as well as the average, to see how well/badly we do collectively.

If you work freelance I'd be tempted to ask if you could do similar on the joint men / women prediction competition table after Monday
Certainly the above looks much better than what I am likely to produce.
Elena 40 Anne 110 Hev 90 KoB 140 Cav 180 Laura 125 Mel 280 Naomi B 200 Anna S 250 Lisa 230 Tara 200 JoKo 170 AnnaF 250
However, I predict a spectacular drop for one or two of them, I've just got no idea who!
Strictly speaking the deadline for entries was midnight on the 31/12 Steven. However as you are a highly respected man in the tennis community I will make an exception for you this time.
Oops ... and thank you. It took me a while to realise there were two different competitions, and once I did I must have just assumed they had the same deadline.
Putting Heather ahead of Laura wasn't influenced by the weekend's events btw - I just think Heather has a better temperament, and that's going to be more and more important as they move up the rankings. Laura has plenty of time to improve on that front, obviously, but I'm guessing Heather will continue to be the more consistent of the two this year.
This weekend did make me a bit more optimistic that Katie's end-2010 slump was just a blip, but of course she promptly got thrashed by Lertch as soon as I'd got my entry in.
