Quite a few lost points today for predicting maximums for O'Sullivan or Trump. Also with many going for Trump or O'Sullivan to reach the final just six have players involved in the finalists predictions - and only one has a prediction for a 147 going - to recover the 12 deducted for predicting four who haven't done it. Scottcorno is the highest ranked of anyone with a predicted winner still going.

A further note - Eraserhead submitted two predictions for the John Higgins v Ricky Walden second round match - one a 14-11 win for Higgins, and the second a 13-9 win for Higgins. - As these have not matched - the first one sent - the 14-11 one has been scored and therefore Eraserhead has received 7 points.

[i]Just a reminder - no amendments once predictions have been sent in. The only changes I'll allow is if you've not submitted a scoreline e.g. are predicting the scoreline as 13-13 etc - This is to stop people changing scorelines to suit or consolodate their position in the contest e.g. someone who is leading changing their predictions to mirror second place for example.

I'm going to do the rest of my predictions now as I'm out of it but not one to completely throw in the towel.

Semi's
Ding 17- 9higgins or McManus
Selby 14 - 17 Fu

Final
Ding 18 - 13 Selby/Fu
Higgins/Mcmanus 11 - 18 Fu

Any other options ill come back and predict. If Hawkins gets through I'll eat my hat.

SEMI-FINALS POST

Posting these now to allow ample time for predictions - off to the Legends Dinner but should be back to put the table up for tonight,

Remember for the one table set up the points awarded are:
A Seeded player defeats a qualifier = 6 points
A Seeded player defeats a Seeded player = 7 points
A qualifier defeats a qualifier = 7 points
A qualifier defeats a Seeded player = 8 points
Correct score: 5 Points
1 Frame out: 3 Points
2 Frames out: 1 Point

SEMI-FINAL ONE - BEST OF 33 FRAMES - DEADLINE (Session 35) 1PM THURSDAY 28TH APRIL
17-17 ALAN McMANUS SCO v DING JUNHUI CHN


SEMI-FINAL TWO - BEST OF 33 FRAMES - DEADLINE (Session 36) 7PM THURSDAY 28TH APRIL
17-17 MARK SELBY (2) ENG v MARCO FU HKG

11-17 Alan McManus v Ding Junhui
12-17 Marco Fu v Mark Selby, or
11-17 Barry Hawkins v Mark Selby

I preempted victories for Selby, Higgins , and Fu last night.

I therefore have to correct at least one semi final prediction.

Alan McManus 6-17 Ding Junhui

I may have to correct the other one as well, the way this is going.

SEMI-FINAL ONE - BEST OF 33 FRAMES - DEADLINE (Session 35) 1PM THURSDAY 28TH APRIL

9-17 ALAN McMANUS SCO v DING JUNHUI CHN


SEMI-FINAL TWO - BEST OF 33 FRAMES - DEADLINE (Session 36) 7PM THURSDAY 28TH APRIL

17-13 MARK SELBY (2) ENG v BARRY HAWKINS (11) ENG

or

17-11 MARK SELBY (2) ENG v MARCO FU HKG

SEMI-FINAL ONE - BEST OF 33 FRAMES - DEADLINE (Session 35) 1PM THURSDAY 28TH APRIL
9-17 ALAN McMANUS SCO v DING JUNHUI CHN


SEMI-FINAL TWO - BEST OF 33 FRAMES - DEADLINE (Session 36) 7PM THURSDAY 28TH APRIL
17-13 MARK SELBY (2) ENG v MARCO FU HKG

With the way things have gone so far this tournament I might as well snake hiss on the wall and try and make sense of the stains as the scoreline to predict. Anyway:


17-13 Ding v McManus
17-15 Fu v Selby



13-9 Ding v McManus
13-11 Fu v Selby

SEMI-FINAL ONE - BEST OF 33 FRAMES - DEADLINE (Session 35) 1PM THURSDAY 28TH APRIL
11-17 ALAN McMANUS SCO v DING JUNHUI CHN


SEMI-FINAL TWO - BEST OF 33 FRAMES - DEADLINE (Session 36) 7PM THURSDAY 28TH APRIL
15-17 MARK SELBY (2) ENG v MARCO FU HKG

Skullman can I shift my scorelines to change it so they're actually the right match length. I swear I just posted this. The frame difference hasn't changed - 17-13 and 17-15.
