I think I should have more points

Hi everyone, thank you for your patience with the updates this week.

All of the Predictions in this thread up to and including the Semi-Finals have been collated and added to the spreadsheet.


The scores below are correct up to the end of the Quarter-Finals. These include six points added for anyone who predicted Zhao Xintong to be the best performing qualifier. I'm away from my computer tonight and tomorrow, so I cannot put the ordered leader board.

Scores at the end of the Quarter-Finals.
