This is the discussion topic for the Shanghai Masters prediction contest:
viewtopic.php?f=69&t=1294The reason for discussion topics is because it's easier for the contest organisers to have one topic just for predictions and people tend to like to talk about the tables and their scores so do that here. And mods, move off topic stuff from there to here. If anyone abuses the rules by constantly chatting in the actual predictions topic then a warning could result

Oh right, I thought it was part of the template. GJ chooses Robbo and Stevens as he does in every event. He won the Bahrain predictions contest don't you know

You're not immune to getting a warning Stalin if you keep deliberately posting chat in the actual predictions topic. See, I know you're doing it on purpose

Finalists
Williams
Ebdon
Monique...tell me more, Im interested to know why you think Ebdon will make the final? especially with a first round match with Robertson (although with winning the WC he might have high hopes and could fall at the first hurdle..I can agree with that) but still, I cant see ebdon doing to well, but would like to hear your view on it.
Also who will win this final you predicting?

Well ...
Looking at that half of the draw I couldn't really decide on a finalist. None of Robertson, Selby or Carter are usually doing great in China. All those guys seem to struggle with jet-lag. So I asked myself but then who?
Funny thing is I would tip Robbo to win the first round match but just. And IF Ebdon can go past that, with his determination to regain his top 16 spot then I'd fancy him to go into the final.
As for the win, I'd say Mark J. ... but now that Dave Hendon has tipped him he's probably doomed

Fair comment monique, I do see those players dont do great in china and Mark williams certainly does. It all depends how Ebdon is playing really,will his new move and change of wife have an effect this season? I hope not, I do like Ebdon and would like to see him do well, loved to watch him win the China open 2009.
Not a bad bet Monique, good luck with it.
