?

Seed beats unseed/wildcard gains you 4 points

Well I know those players arent seeded, but they are seeded or higher ranked over the wildcards

It has been brought to my attention that I put 5-5 by accident in Fu vs Trump. I didn't want to edit, in case people thought I cheated. So, my official prediction is 5-2 to Fu.

Ah okay, not very clear

jake i have me on 28

2 correct scores

Kurt Maflin 5-3 Cao Yupeng = 5+2 = 7
Marcus Campbell 5-2 Mei Xiwen = 5
Nigel Bond 5-1 Jin Long =5
Ken Doherty 5-3 Li Hang =0
Joe Perry 5-2 Li Yan = 5+2 = 7

Stephen Hendry 3-5 Matthew Stevens = 0
Neil Robertson 5-2 Barry Hawkins =4


Total = 28

I have obviously not presented it clearly. A qualifier against a wild card makes them become the seed. So maflin would be the seed over Yupeng. I will PM wild to change it. But yes Maflin beating Yupeng gains you 4 points not 5 sorry for the confusion.

jake you have said that these players are seeds:

SEEDED PLAYERS
1. Mark Williams
2. Neil Robertson
3. John Higgins
4. Mark Selby
5. Ding Junhui
6. Stephen Maguire
7. Shaun Murphy
8. Allister Carter
9. Graeme Dott
10. Ronnie O'Sullivan
11. Mark Allen
12. Peter Ebdon
13. Stephen Hendry
14. Jamie Cope
15. Ricky Walden
16. Marco Fu

so anyone else other than these and wildcards are classed as unseeded. so mine and bournes should be 5 points not 4

so basically anyone who beats a wildcard is 4 points then?

I see what you mean, but I have done everyone the same. I have asked wild to change now so qualifier beating wildcard gains you 4

randam05 wrote:I see what you mean, but I have done everyone the same. I have asked wild to change now so qualifier beating seed gains you 4

so the rules are


Seeded player beats seeded player = 5 points
Seeded player beats unseeded player = 4 points
Unseeded player beats unseeded player = 5 points
Unseeded player beats seeded player = 6 points

unseed beat wildcard = 4 points
seed beats wild card = 4 points

Wildcard player beats seeded player = 7 points
Wildcard player beats wildcard player = 5 points

Precisely Sorry guys! So everyones points remain correct as they are

I think I should have 24 points?

Kurt Maflin 5-1 Cao Yupeng = 5
Marcus Campbell 5-1 Mei Xiwen = 5
Nigel Bond 5-2 Jin Long = 5
Ken Doherty 5-2 Li Hang = 0
Joe Perry 5-0 Li Yan = 5
Stephen Hendry 4-5 Matthew Stevens =
Neil Robertson 5-3 Barry Hawkins = 4

Oh sorry about that it should probably be put in the article that a wild-card beats unseeded player to get 4 points

everyone is doing it because logic says unseed beats wildard = 5 points.

2 options jake

1. change everyones score
0r
2. change the rules

r ron

cricket predicts wakey wakey

I have messaged wild to change it but its taking a while to send

Changed now back to business.
