Think Pink overall leaderboard after Shaun Murphy (2) advanced to the World Championship final, picking up six points as a result.
In the battle for second place, the equation is this. If Selby wins the title, then Andre will finish second for the second year in a row. If Murphy wins the title, SnookerFan will finish second. In other words, Andre will finish second ha.

Last year's Think Pink thread had 76,000 views, a figure that astonished me. This year, 126,000.
Really heartening to see the level of interest that must be there in this bizarre prediction competition.

Once again well done to McManusfan. And Pink, tremendous effort from you once more pulling this off, can't imagine the patience required. I know the patience required for one prediction contest as I've run several myself, but yours is on a whole different level!

Well played McManusFan and many thanks Pink Ball for running the contest as always! Just wanted to echo what Andre said, its enough effort and time to run one contest, but to run one for the whole season continually updating several times throughout every tournament is running a running a contest on a whole different scale!
Look forward to the Think Pink 2021/22! Hopefully I can finish a bit higher.

I dunno how people manage running stuff like this. I’d have not the balls, the brains or the energy.

Pinkie has none of those things either, but still manages to do just fine.
Maybe he gets help from someone?

I finished 26th in my first Think Pink season. I've just about avoided relegation and perhaps next season can hope to achieve mid-table obscurity. Things can only get better.
Pink Ball, thank you for running this bag of marmite competition
And well done McManusfan for winning
