Only John Higgins remains, with Prop, Reg Varney, McManusfan, Snookerfan and YanFan guaranteeing themselves 1 point.

Andre, Holden and RunningSide have another opportunity to bag a 10-point wildcard bonus if Brecel wins tomorrow.

I can’t speak for Think Pink but as far as Revolving Cues goes I wouldn’t be confident in saying that. Manty bagged himself 6 points in two tournaments recently.

If Brecel wins Andre and Holden will have a 9 point advantage over third place which is far from unassailable, particularly as there’s always the slim chance of another wildcard victory.

Don't know, it just seems like 10 points is a huge sum in the US Open of prediction contests.

Re: Revolving Cues

Postby Iranu

It would leave non-Brecel players with a mountain to climb, for sure. But it’s only three winners with a lot of the season still to play.

And Gibraltar’s still to come, which you’d think will be won by Judd or an outsider.

It’s entirely possible that someone who hasn’t scores yet could win even if Luca wins tomorrow, if they bag a wildcard victory of their own.

Every time, since you don’t get points for wildcard finalists.

If your wildcard wins two tournaments, buck, you deserve 20 points.

Yeah, that seems right to me.

In think pink, a lot of people have Cao Yupeng as a wildcard and he's more than capable of reaching a final. That could mix things up a bit. If anyone had both Cao and Luca of course in tgat circumstance, then they could just buck right off.

Surely Judd is a given for his favourite tournament and the post Tinpot of all Tinpot events on the calendar?

If there was one positive on O'Sullivan's abject display yesterday it was Honest John finally getting me off null points in the contest.

The only reason Judd Trump has played in Gibraltar Open this year and last year is because of the Betvictor Bonus where he won an extra £100,000 or something. He didn't play in it in 2019. Can you really blame a player for participating in a minor event and winning it when there is a chance to win a lot of extra money?

Prop, Reg Varney, McManusfan, Snookerfan and YanFan each gain 1 point.

And we also have our first wildcard points of the season! Andre, Holden and RunningSide gain a huge 10 points each for Luca Brecel’s victory! Surely all the sweeter following the near miss a week ago.

Total scores so far:

=1st Place - 15 points
Andre147, Holden Chinaski

3rd place - 13 points
RunningSide

=4th Place - 6 points
SnookerEd, Mantorok, McManusFan

=7th Place - 4 points
Juddernaut, Pink Ball, Snookerfan

=10th Place - 3 points
Rekoons, Gninnur Karona, James Bentley, CSPrince

=14th Place - 1 Point
Raziel, Prop, Reg Varney, YanFan



A huge advantage for Andre, Holden and Running. But far from insurmountable with so much of the season still to go.
