Here is the table after the Semi-Finals. We have all predicted either Neil Robertson or Judd Trump as a Finalist and as such have had 3 points added to our totals. Should our predicted finalist win, we shall receive a further three points to give a total of six.

Juddernaut88 is the one of us who predicted a Trump v Robertson Final and thus will receive nine bonus points regardless of the outcome of the Final. These have already been added and are reflected in his total.

70 CHENGDUFAN 24 - 7
63 PLTHEREF 20 - 6
57 JUDDERNAUT88 21 - 9
44 MCMANUSFAN 14 - 7
39 ANDRE147 15 - 5


With a maximum of six points (1 + 5 for a correct score and a potential 3 bonus) I make it a straight fight between myself and ChengduFan. Chengdu, can you please PM one of the others your prediction for the Final.

Final - Best of 17 Frames - Deadline 1pm Sunday 18th October
Judd Trump [1] v Neil Robertson [1]

Since the deadline is less then 2 hours away I will post it anyway as I don't want to be the one responsible for Chengdufan to be penalised for it lol So this is his prediction:
Trump 9-6 Robertson.

I will forward the email on to PLTHEREF just for evidence.

It's congratulations to ChengduFan who takes an early lead in the Home Nations Prediction Contest. Once the Northern Ireland Open has taken place, the highest scoring event for those of us who will have played both events will be doubled with further entrants receiving double points for their highest event being doubled once they have entered two of the Home Nations contests

Yay! My first ever prediction contest win on the island! :happy: :happy: :D :D

I feel I owe this victory to Mario Morra, having worked out that he was better than people thought he was in 1984. :moose:

I am very excited now about being on for the million pound prize. Kudos to PLtheRef for organising and running the competition, and for putting up the prize.

The planning was very well thought-through and it made it an interesting game. Thanks PL

Welcome everyone to the Northern Ireland Open - Leg 2 of the Home Nations Prediction Contest for this season.

A reminder on the rules below:
- Each entrant shall have 30 picks to use across the prediction contest. These can be placed on any of the 127 matches due to take place in each event.
- Players will be given a points value based on their seeding with players ranked higher being worth fewer points than those ranked lower. - Players seeded in the top 32 will be worth one point, 33-64 worth two points, 65-96 three points and 97+ worth four points. Any amateurs in the draw shall be worth six points.
E.g.4-4 Mark Selby (1pt) v Fan Zhengyi (4pts)
- You receive the points value for the respective player you pick should you correctly predict them to win.
- Correct scoreline predictions in Best of 7 matches score 2 points, Best of 9 and 11 Frame matches scores 3 points and in a Best of 17 Frame match scores 5 points.
- Nominate two players to reach the Final: 6 points for the tournament winner, 3 points for the runner-up
- In the event of a tie, the player with the highest number of correct scores shall be placed higher, followed by correct winners and if still tied by the largest number of picks remaining.




Home Nations competition

At the end of each contest, the top 8 entrants shall be awarded points to a Home Nations Series Ranking:
1st place: 24 points
2nd place: 16 points
3rd place: 12 points
4th place: 8 points
5th place: 6 points
6th place: 4 points
7th place: 2 points
8th place: 1 point

For each player, their highest finish in an event shall count double. If a player achieves the same highest position in more than one event, then the event they achieved their best score will count double.

Starting with this event (as the second Home Nations event of the season, any player to have taken part in more than one Home Nations contest will receive double points for their best showing.

Good Luck everyone!
