You'd lose 17 points for the number of unused predictions (13/30 - 10 predictions used for rounds one to five and three for the semis and final)

So in a word: no

Just as a note, I'm aware that in the initial template for the second round I allocated Lyu Haotiian as part of seeding group three, when actually as 104th seed he should be seed group four. Predictions on a Lyu win have been multipled by four as per his seeding group

I'm giving up. Too much trouble.

I've had scant time to watch snooker, let alone predict the snooker I'm not watching.

One question, do we have to predict for every round?

Example, a person can't reach the Quarter-Finals stage with only 2 predicts left to make?

Yes, at least one prediction in each round.

I thought I had uploaded the table here last night. Mustn't have saved it.

You didn't make any predictions for the second round - therefore it is marked as two incorrect predictions as mentioned in the original post.

Oh right, obviously

This competition is clearly designed for the more cerebral members. Islanders such as yourselves may find entertainment in the far simpler 'Never Ending Quiz'.
Enjoy

I like the format (and not just because I'm winning).
