Just a reminder, please don't post any predictions for the World Championship Final until the template is posted please. As I mentioned on Wednesday, anyone with a mathematical chance of winning the contest will be asked to PM their predictions for the Final.

Hopefully these can be taken:

Semi-Final One - Best of 33 Frames - Deadline 1pm Thursday 29th April
17-13 Mark Selby [4] ENG v Stuart Bingham ENG

Semi-Final Two - Best of 33 Frames - Deadline 7pm Thursday 29th April
17-11 Kyren Wilson [6] ENG v Shaun Murphy [7] ENG


The standard rule is that any predictions received after the deadline for a match can't be accepted. However, given that the results won't affect the prediction contest as such (in terms of lead or who can mathematically win) I'll give the benefit of the doubt and include these predictions unless there is any objections.

Thanks to everyone for their patience. Here is the latest table following the conclusion of the Semi-Finals. Included in this table is six points for those who predicted Mark Selby to reach the World Championship Final, should Selby win the Final, a further six points will be added to their totals. Also included in this table are three point deductions for those who predicted 147 maximum breaks for Stuart Bingham and Kyren Wilson.

You will note on the table tonight, each player's Maximum score is shown. This tally includes a potential 12 points for a correct scoreline in the Final as well as any bonus points which haven't yet been scored - e.g. number of centuries, highest break maker and highest break.

Anyone who can mathematically win the contest are in bold. Please can you PM me your predictions for the Final. I have already PM'd both Wildey and McManusFan my prediction for the Final before setting the template up.

Here is the table following the conclusion of the 2021 World Snooker Championship! Those who received 6 points for Mark Selby to reach the Final have been awarded a further 6 points following his victory this evening! Anyone who predicted a Shaun Murphy 147 have had 3 points deducted - whilst those who predicted Murphy to make the highest break, or a highest break within six of 144 have had their bonus points added on to the table. Eraserhead was the only one to score any points for the centuries tally, predicting 108 exactly!

With just the one match finishing today, scoring was based upon how many went for a Selby win (14/23 predictions) and who was closest to 18-15! All 14 predictions for Selby to win were within two frames, but its Mick745, Alex0Paul 2WC and Happy Camper who take maximum points for an 18-15 prediction
