Ronnie makes his first century as an Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire. :-)

Poomjaeng done it, Robbo done it, Carter also did it in some premier league match v Ronnie too.

I hear Poomjaeng has done it three times! I propose from now on that we use poomjaeng as a term for losing a frame that way. To "poomjaeng" the frame. i.e. "Walden just poomjanged the frame, the silly idiot"

Absolutely PoolBoy. He says he loves it, but if he loses this Group, he'll very likely withdraw like previous years.

Anyway, don't care in the slighest about this, just hope he gets much needed match sharpness for Masters.

We should inform the BBC that Ronnie has entered this year, so they can stop pretending The Masters is his home venue.

Let's face it, they won't have noticed themselves.

Do centuries made in this event definitely count towards the player's professional record?

Oh yes, silly really, but it was the only way Robertson could wangle the 100 centuries thing that he thought was important. Really the only important stat is the ratio of frames to centuries. There are now a whole load of century stats in the archive that are completely meaningless because players played vastly different numbers of pro frames.

Yes they count, helped Robbo massively getting the 103 centuries in a season, in CL alone he made something like 22 tons by playing in 5 Groups.

Good to see Ronnie playing well, but this little "event" is just getting him up match sharp, and of course increasing tons tally. :-D

That is such a wangle! <laugh>
I reckon he might have even been actually trying to not win each group.

Is it still the practice that you get paid more if you don't win the group, and have to enter again in the next group?

I'm not claiming any player loses on purpose, but that format does give them the incentive should they wish to.

I would be quite happy as a player to be miserable in CL but having won two ranking events already this season.

Yes it was a strange decider. Never seen Higgins miss so many chances in one, had about 7 golden chances, only managed to pot one red.

He really bottled that decider, Robbo wasn't much better, but still managed to be better than JH.

These are the moments when you realize that he still isn't back at his best and probably never will be again due to his age. He looked very good over the last few months and won three rankers last year but there's still something missing. The fear factor isn't there anymore. Don't think, that he'll be a real contender for the WC but we'll see. Even a Higgins who's just playing like 70% of his full potential is a danger.
