I think foreigners are banned.


So why is Wild allowed to enter then?

He is exposing some hidden loophole.

I went for Higgins and Dotty would you believe it <doh>

So my chances of winning this are decreasing every day now, there's still a long way to go but things not looking pretty at all.

Higgins, Dott and Hawkins. Not looking good for here. Decided to just gamble on Stevens because I can't catch up going for the obvious choices...

It's a vicious circle once your behind in these contests. You risk more and generally because of that you fall behind even further, meaning you have to risk even more in the next round.

I also made a couple of bad mistakes this year. Missing the deadline for two matches was an obvious one <laugh> Another one was picking Dott in his last 16 match just because I wanted to see a Ronnie v Dott quarter. Once you start with the wishful thinking picks it's as good as over.

Tiebreak criteria is as follows
1. Higher number of winners
2. Higher number of correct scores
3. Scored the most points on the most days (between contestants involved in tie) - to this purpose, Bonuses count as a 13th scoring day.



Saturday's Table - Not the highest scoring of days with just two correct scores from those who predicted.
Many going for wins for Higgins, Dott and Allen, and in quite a few cases *coughs* all three.

I hope you win it without O'Sullivan winning it!

Re: World Championship Prediction Banter

looks like 13-5 was the scoreline to bet on.

Is it me or is it a little odd to have 1/2 the matches finish with the same scoreline?

It's happened only once before in 2007 when four matches finished 13-8

We've had a few occasions where we've had three scores the same with one match being very close, namely 2002 when we had three 13-3 and two 13-2s

Ding vs Trump will be the key game of this round as a lot of people have differed on that one.


I am now in prime position, one point behind you.
