Wtf predicted Fu to win it?!?

Didn’t someone go for 110 centuries or did I dream that?

It is in the list

I was just re-examining my predicts and I meant to put tournament winners as ronnie and Ding but dings name is not there. Is it to late to add that to my predictions?

Really need Bingham and McGill to win to gain some ground on the rest.

Unfortunately yes, now that the deadline for those predictions has passed.

Don't worry. You weren't the only one who didn't put two names for tournament winners

Won't know for sure until the numbers come out, but I think I may have done quite well today.

You got done in by the 'false lead curse'.
