A request that you adhered to religiously, I see.

It might've been the 2012 World Championship. (13-6, apparently.) Not sure though.

I might have the proportions wrong, but Ronnie's frame wins were were quite close and Mark Williams' frame wins were with big breaks or centuries. I remember Mark Williams missing frame ball quite frequently.

So Williams had more balls potted and more points scored, despite being a long way behind.

It was a match that Mark Williams had to win to stay in the top-16.

Suppose it is just a quirk of scoring.

2008 then, he lost thus dropped out of Top 16.

I remember something along those lines, but no way was it triple points comparing to Ronnie.
