Re: 2018 Fantasy World Snooker
It's all coming together nicely. Just the final frames of the qualifying matches tomorrow. Been setting up the spreadsheet using the qualifying matches as test data (even though I barely recognize any of the names) and I think I should be able to get a frame-by-frame update.
Sadly Jimmy crashed out again this year, but since he's older than me, he must be slowing down a bit nowadays.
Till tomorrow evening then.

This guy is worth a follow for those on Twitter. This link takes you to a qualifying round-up. On past form, later in the week he'll do a predictions article.

Re: 2018 Fantasy World Snooker - Now running
Well the qualifiers have finished, so I've put together the web-site which is here.
The draw takes place tomorrow morning at 10:00 I believe, but I shall be busy at work with no chance to post it anywhere useful.
Full terms & conditions on the web-site, but for the seasoned entrants amongst you all, it's the same as in past years. Entries by email or pm before Saturday 10:00.
Good luck everyone (and get those entries in quick)

I see Dot got through the qualifiers. Thought the arrers was more his thing but maybe he has moved onto the green baize to pass the time since departing FISO.

Re: 2018 Fantasy World Snooker - Now running
A nice stream of entries, and still every entry valid. It would appear that a lot of people have these new-fangled calculator thingies (and a hand to count up to 5).

Not many hours to pick (but there hasn't been many hours since it started). Time to polish that lucky pin and stab the screen.

Re: 2018 Fantasy World Snooker - Now running
I can reply that no-one has supplied an invalid entry.
A nice trickle of entries leads me to guess probably just over 100 entries. Not as many as previous years, but still worth doing.

Here's my lot Shaggy, many thanks
1 Mark Selby 52
2 Ronnie O'Sullivan 51
8 Shaun Murphy 45
22 Ricky Walden 31
32 Lyu Haotian 21
Total = 200
But not in that order

On second thoughts, let's be a tad more radical:
21 Lyu Haotian 32
32 Xiao Guodong 21
37 Mark Allen 16
31 Ricky Walden 22
51 Ronnie O'Sullivan 2
Total = 172
That's my final answer

Re: 2018 Fantasy World Snooker - Now running
By far and away the cheapest entry into the competition (at the moment). Either a brilliant plan or some-one did their entry after a few too many orange juices.
