Judd Trump, Ding Junhui

Juddernaut88 and rekoons guarantee themselves at least 1 point each with Kyren Wilson.

Nobody has Milkins in their team or as a wildcard.

There could still be a lot of changes at the top, which seemed unlikely a few months ago.

I’ll update the scores from the Gibraltar Open when I’m home later, but deadline for swaps for the Tour Championship is tomorrow, Monday 28th March at 1pm UK time.


Neil Robertson, John Higgins

Trump and Ronnie please.

Apologies for the delay. Didn’t get home until 1am this morning.

Only two scorers from Gibraltar, with Juddernaut and rekoons each picking up 1 point for Kyren Wilson being runner-up.

Rob Milkins wasn’t in any teams or wildcard selections.

Judders takes 3rd place for himself and is only 5 points behind 1st place Andre.

Rekoons joins Gninnur Karona in 9th place.

With only 8 players in the field, it’s not surprising that more than half of players are guaranteed at least a point. Chengdufan, Iranu and Reg Varney are each guaranteed 4 points.

A huge scoring tournament, with 14 of 23 participants gaining points.

Iranu, Chengdufan and Reg Varney all pick up 4 points for having both Higgins and Robertson on their team.

Holden Chinaski draws level with Andre in first place, on 21 points thanks to picking Robertson. Andre’s 1 point for finalist Higgins is not enough to maintain sole possession of the top spot.

Juddernaut continues to stay in touching distance in 3rd place on 18 points. However, due to having chosen Gary Wilson as a wildcard, he would need Wilson to win the World Championship to win the competition. Otherwise he will lose three points at the end of the season.

This means that Running Side has the best chance of catching first place, as his wildcard Brecel won the Scottish Open and he won’t have any point deductions. If he selects the correct winner and finalist for the World Championship, he can draw level with Andre and Holden (who also chose Brecel).

Nobody else with 10 points or more has selected a wildcard, which means only the current top four have any chance of winning the title.



Closing date for the World Snooker Championship teams is 10am UK time on Saturday 16th April.

Pink Ball wrote:If there’s a tie at the top, how is it broken, or is it broken?

No tiebreaker this season. I didn’t lay anything out in the initial rules so I’m not going to move the goalposts now.

I’ll definitely add something for next season though, along with maybe a few other refinements.

A Judd Trump v Gary Wilson final could be interesting!
