Thanks to all for their patience. Here is the latest updated table following the conclusion of the quarter-finals. Next to entrants totals is a remark of who has predictions for the winner remaining in the event (BLOCK CAPITALS)

The thread will be locked on Saturday after the conclusion of the second semi-final whilst the totals calculated. Those with a chance of winning the contest ahead of the final will be asked to PM predictions to me ahead of the final - to ensure there's no nursing of advantages. Should I be in the running, then an alternative recipient for PM'd predictions will be sough.

With us down to one table, here are the points up for grabs

7pts seed defeats seed

Best of 33 or 35 frame matches
5pts correct score
3pts one frame out
1pt two frames out


Maximum Predictions
Players may predict any number of players to make a max
12pts Nominated Player scoring a maximum
-3pts Nominated Player faiing to score a maximum
Players score nothing for no maximum nomination
Maximum is a 147 break with 15 reds or a 155 with a freeball 16th red

Tournament winner

12pts Nominated Player winning the World Championships

This thread is currently being locked whilst scores are updated. Players who are mathematically able to win the contest will be invited to PM predictions to ensure that there is no opportunity to predict with an advantage of the other player's scores.

It will reopen with the final template once the table has been updated.

Here is the table following the Semi-Finals. The Numbers in squared brackets are the maximum score that a player can attain.

The tallies below include 3 point deductions for predictions to make a Ding, or Hawkins maximum break. The tallies also include six points awarded to entries who predicted Mark Selby to reach the World Championship Final. These entries will be awarded a further six should Selby win the title. Nobody has predicted John Higgins to be a finalist.

Entries in bold can still mathematically win the prediction contest. Can those people please PM their final predictions to me.
