Think Pink 2019/2020 discussion thread

For bucks sake...


Twice I've tried to post that.

BUNGKE!

This is the leaderboard with tie-breaks factored in. Tiebreakers closer to the left take precedence.
Key: WCS = World Championship Score; HSP = Highest-scoring player; 2HSP = 2nd-highest-scoring player etc.

Apologies to Deewee: he got points for Mark Allen making it to the quarter-finals, but not the semi-finals. I've corrected that error and will be posting the amended leaderboard very soon.

I am sure Ace would be happy to oversee this if you are struggling.

I'm going to pull of the equivalent of Leicester winning the league in 2016. I, the biggest thick on this forum, am going to run a half-decent predictions contest.

And my doubters will have to wear frilly pink underwear on the first day of next season.

I think your competition is well designed and excellent.

You've had a fine tournament after a nightmare in Riga. You were the only player to not score any points.

If Trump wins tomorrow, you'll gain a point, but you'll stay in 26th. If Murphy wins, you gain three points and jump to outright 16th. You'd be level on points with Wildey, but you'll go ahead of him on tournament wins.

You and KrazeeEyezKilla were the only two not to select Luo Honghao, and that looks like it could be a very costly decision by you both. Can't see Jimmy White making a quarter-final, but wouldn't be surprised if Honghao did it once or twice more.

Just PM’d him

Well that was a big fat zero for me. I blame Robertson.
