Herewith please find my entry form for ThinkPink23. I have adjusted my selection method for the forthcoming campaign, in previous years I have picked players who I particularly liked and / or felt were in line for a good season. Therefore I have suffered the double whammy of disappointment when they get beaten by players I like less, and the absence of ThinkPink points into the bargain.
This year I have selected my least favourite player in each Group; therefore, if and when they exit the tournament, I won't be too displeased by their absence, and if they happen to go on a run or even win a tournament my displeasure will be offset by the accumulation of compensatory points in this competition.
Win, and indeed, win.

To be honest, it was a selection that was not without it's problems. My two LEAST least favourite players were in the same group
so Mr. Selt got the nod ahead of Mr. Carter; there were a few groups where I didn't really have much of an issue with the players involved so it was a bit pot luck; a couple were picked because I didn't know much about those players (Group 9 and Group 15), one got the nod for looking too miserable (Group 5), one for being over-tattooed (Group 2) and one because 'Angels' is overplayed at weddings (Group 11).
Anyhow, let's see how this works - LET THE GAMES BEGIN
