2019 Betfed World Snooker Championship Prediction Contest

Here is the table at the end of the First Round matches. Nice_Shoes_Ken takes the overall lead following a score of 16 today. For anyone interested in the figures, 96 represents the lowest score for the leader of a first round of a World Championship since 2014 and 94. Although, that year, there were eight potential champions going into the final between Selby and O'Sullivan, the year it went quite literally right down to the very wire.

For the third time, N_S_K leads the World Championship prediction contest after the first round matches.

Snake hissed i missed this. Enjoyed it last year. Would have liked to improve on mid table obscurity. Excellent work.

Here is the table at the end of the first week of competition after the win for Neil Robertson this evening. SteveJJ retakes the lead on most correct winners out of 17 matches. Aimlesswandeer rounds off the top three with TheCleaver (a former runner-up) moving into fourth place with Johnny Bravo taking 5th so far just ahead of GJ.
