Smart wins in what is probably the biggest shock in prediction contest history.
Well Done Smart. I don't know how but you somehow managed to overcome your more illustrious rivals to claim a massive upset win. Skullman dominated for the most part, but just when it seemed like history was beckoning, he faultered/choked/bottled, thus allowing Smart to steal in like a thief in the night to take a title he had no right to win.
Smart, well played sir. Enjoy it, savour the moment!
This sets things up nicely for the upcoming World Championships where Smart is now surely a contender. Probably. Maybe.
Just a word on myself now. I think most would agree that this has been a spectacularly run contest - One of the best ever in fact.
It has been a joy and a pleasure, and hopefully you lot will once again have the privilige of me being TD for a contest in the near future.

Neil Robertson is the winner then after a 10-6 win over Mark Selby. Pleased for Robertson who has been knocking on the door for title glory all season and deserves his moment.
Maybe an even bigger moment is to come in Sheffield....he's done it before don't forget in 2010.
Anyway this is my report on his Robertson's China Open success for my snooker website The Old Green Baize - please feel free to take a look:

I will look forward to them both being torpedoed in the WC.
Sonny wrote:The thing with Robbo and Selby is if you're a fan of one, you're generally a fan of the other so in terms of rivalries among the fans this is more likely to be an Aussie v Pommie rivalry than any passions for one style of play over another. If snooker was ever a team sport then these two would be the best doubles partners in the world. In snooker terms they are on the same wavelength.
The only shame about today's result from a purely selfish point of view is that they can't face each other in the World Final. But then given the spectacle factor for the non-purists and general public, and how Selby and Robbo seem to cancel each other out with supreme tactics, then maybe the best thing that could happen is if the top 4 seeds reach the semi-finals.
You would have Ronnie v Judd and Robbo v Selby. You would guarantee a "matchplay v's talent" of the highest quality final, with the play off semis to represent the best of each approach at this moment in time and that's the sort of semi-final and final match up that gets the snooker public and those drawn in from outside totally buzzing. The talk of the hairdressing salons etc.
Of course there are many other names to put in the mix but I don't think any snooker fan would be disappointed with that line up when we're down to one table in one months time.

Hi all,i was away over Easter so could,nt see any snooker the last few days.
Well done Robbo,manages to get his hands on another bit o silverware!,his 7th so far!.
I had to LOL when i read this,... http://t.co/yPcX5KKmCK
,....Trump said:,...... “I’ve noticed in the last couple of years that he runs out of position a lot under pressure and isn’t as good.”
He certainly likes his digs does,nt he!.
I tell ya what,somethin that i,ve noticed in the last couple of years,is that Judd Trump misses many easy balls,struggles with pressure and that he often gets a ridiculous amount of the run of the balls,i,ve also noticed that he has,nt won the World Championship and that he isn,t dominating,something he said he,d do,startin a few seasons ago!.
Trump,should show us more what he can do on the table rather that what he can do off it!.

Good morning Gj,you must be a happy bunny!.
What a cracker of a match it were to be if Robbo were to meet Trump at this years worlds,i,m sure Robbo would serve up a couple of fist-pumps and wild Aussie yells to that digger Trump!.
