PL,

I have two questions. Is 112 the most amount of points ever accrued after the first round of matches? And am I on course to break the record for overall points scored in a World Championship contest?

Thanks.

Having checked the old contests it turns out that it isn't. 120 in 2011 by NiceShoesKen is the highest.

And didn't go on to win the contest.

If you're looking for numbers. Last year was the record high. 2016 I think is the low.

Ronnie has lost, but I will win. I'm more determined now than ever after what's happened today. Bring it on.

Here is the table following tonight's play. This table includes three points deducted for those who predicted a Maximum to be made by Ronnie O'Sullivan.

It is getting interesting now as the second week gets underway. Worth noting also that with many going for O'Sullivan in tournament predictions, Cloud Strife can now no longer score anything for predicted finalists, whilst Sundaygirl has one predicted finalist remaining, and SavoMilosevic both.

Day Eight Table (20/31 Matches played)
129 CLOUD STRIFE 16 - 5
122 SUNDAYGIRL 14 - 4
120 SAVOMILOSEVIC 16 - 2
102 KRAYZEEYEZKILLA 14 - 0

With the overwhelming majority going for wins for O'Sullivan, those who predicted a Carter victory find themselves close to the top of tonight's daily table. Shout out goes to BadSnookerPlayer who predicted 13-9 to Carter alongside a 13-5 win for Kyren Wilson over Jamie Jones.

Tomorrow is due to have no scheduled finishes, though obviously with a match currently standing at 8-0 there is a chance that match could finish with a session to spare. There will be an update tomorrow should that prove to be the case.

With the John Higgins 13-1 victory over Jack Lisowski it means that we have finishes on Day Nine. Here's the updated table after Higgins' win

With one result in it was a matter of who got it right and who didn't. Unsurprisingly no-one got close to having a correct scoreline which means we have a 21 way tie for the highest score of the day.

Possibly. Plenty of snooker to be played in addition to the bonuses to be calculated. Like I posted yesterday Savo is the only one in the top three with both of his finalists remaining - does that give an advantage? With the margin as it is, you might be able to afford one slight slip up. But an 18 point gap between third and fourth is quite a bit to bridge for anyone further down the leaderboard.

It's going to be an interesting final week. When the four session matches come and the points for correct predictions gets higher (5-3-1) getting the extras becomes all important.

Going to be an interesting final week. When the four session matches come and the points get higher given the number of frames, it gets more tense.


Both of Savo's two tournament picks are due to meet in the quarter finals, so in effect he only has one pick remaining.

Anyway, still a long way to go, as you said.

Here is the table following the Second Round. Sundaygirl only predicted two of three winners today meaning that Cloud Strife and SavoMilosevic move a little clear.

With only eight seeds remaining the points will be 7 for a correct winner from this point whilst scores remain 4 for spot on and two for 1 frame out until the one table situation arrives on Thursday

Going to be an interesting finale - Savo and Cloud have gone direct opposites in their SF predictions. If one gets both it could possibly settle it.

Fantastic competition. My hoprs of a top 5 disappeared with Judd Trump's defeat. Fine margins. Interesting to see if Cloudy can hang on.

Trump did me good and proper last night. That match alone resulted in a 14 point swing against me. I went for Hawkins and Wilson in the semis so I'll need a miracle to win now.
