Wouldn't mind Jimmy getting through, just more of a Williams fan.
To be honest, I can see it being a Ronnie vs Williams final. Murphy is just Ronnie's lovely lady.

i think tonight will give us a insight of how this tournament will go you got in my opinion the 2 biggest threat to Ronnie winning it playing Williams and Murphy + ofcourse the man himself.

We don't need any insight to know it's a pile of rubbish. I'll still watch it though because it can be quite funny watching the players running around the place.

i worked it out that statistically there can be a min of 9 frames per night and a max of 15 frames so if we take the average (9+15)/2 = 12 and divide that by the 4 players (12/4)=3 then based on all players playing 4 times, the cut off point to make it into the top 4 and the semis will be (4X3) = 12 points.
