Bloody Selby.

Once i dont finish with the wooden spoon i'll be happy. Long way to go.

A few entrants managed to pick out four winners today, with a large number of others managing to pick three winners.

Kolompar's 36 points with two correct scores gives him today's highest score whilst Aimlesswandeer was the only one of the 29 to go for a 10-3 win for Kyren Wilson

Either is fine, as that post will be updated with the other matches as the first round progresses. - Obviously don't put predictions already made into your new posts if you do decide to separate them.

Two first round matches don't finish until after the start of the Second round

Thanks PL
