[PNE4PREM]

[quote="Grant"]Late entry in for me, has required detailed form studying

Agree Grant...Thats why its a late entry..very late from me

[The Drog's Ballacks]

probably the latest and definitely the winning entry is in.

[Jester]

As a separate fun aside from Shaggy's main competiton, below is the draw for the FISO World Snooker Championship 2009.

Fivelongbones (E Stevenson) v Jester (D King)
Knulpuk (J Clements) v Bluenoseyparker (I Frost)
Bye (14) v GM (G Marsden)
Bye (15) v Surprised (P Thomas)
Bye (16) v Darbyand (?)
Padmole (?) v Murf (J Murfitt)
Spencer4 (J Ravilious) v ToffeeLover (S Cooper)
Dingram (D Ingram) v Shaggy365 (P Whitehead)


The draw will play out as above, so Fivelongbones could play Knulpuk in the next round.

I don't understand how that can happen.......





FLB won't BE in the next round....!!!

I wouldn't worry about it, you'll not be alive beyond the first round.

You were the last person to enter the league before the deadline closed at 9:00 am this morning (even later than PNE4PREM). You were, however, the 18th FISO member to enter, and so missed out on the FISO Snooker Knockout Cup.

There should be a plate competition as well.

If PNE and Drogs play each other then the winner plays against the 8 losers in 3 groups of 3, top score + best 2nd place make a semi.

Just an idea to keep the interest.

You might have been the last one in the competition proper but you and PNE were 17th and 18th for the FISO one - which is unfortunate as entries were limited to 16, otherwise the draw wouldn't play out properly. Shaggy365 has confirmed this. Sorry.

Blimey, I'll have to bin the trusted abacus to work that one out .

I'll do a league table too showing all 18 teams as another aside, so at least the Drog and PNE can see where they end up.

I think the moral of the story is to get the teams in earlier. We only had single figures for a long time, despite Shaggy posting about a month ago (13 March).

[padmole]

Just watched McLeod knocking balls in left , right and centre. OK - It was only 3 and it took 3 1/2 hours but Murf should be worried - very worried!!

Do we get to see who our opponents picked?

I've got 3 donkeys in my team and the top 2 seeds. Not expecting high scores early doors so you'll probably beat me in the cup before I steam through to take the league title.

[Shaggy365]

You will get to see all the entries when I put out the league table at the end of each day's play.

Having said that, there's only one match completed today, so I might not bother to put up the table at the end of Ronnie's match, since only 2 people will have any points.

TBH it depends if I can be bothered after MOTD tonight.

No worries if you decide not to
Thanks for running the competition and may the best man win..........or me

[Shaggy365]

I've decided I'll leave doing the league table tonight.

However, just in case I get accused of cheating, and because I've seen everyone's entry, here is mine.

2 Andrew Higginson
11 John Higgins
18 Martin Gould
24 Ronnie O'Sullivan
28 Stephen Hendry

Total cost £1,769

I'd hate to think that people would suspect that I've fiddled my entry when I win the whole thing.

(Also, you get to see what the winning entry is, before it's all over )

[Grant]

My players, totalling 1,797:

24 Ronnie O'Sullivan 663
1 Ali Carter 554
8 Jamie Cope 319
25 Rory McLeod 161
18 Martin Gould 100

Have just realised who McLeod is, having watched him struggle against Ronnie previously - can't see him getting too far!! Banking on a Ronnie v Carter final, and hopefully a bit of progress through his quarter by Cope.

[Shaggy365]

There is the league table on my web-site, but if you haven't got Ronnie, then you haven't got any points.

[Shaggy365]

Now updated for today's results. 5 matches played so far, but no-one has lost all their players yet. A few have lost 3, and they won't be winning the competition.

[murf]

My team:
O'Sullivan 15
Dott 12
Gould - losing
Maguire - to play
Bond - to play

[Knulpuk]

My team is

Ding
Selby
Ebdon
McLeod - ooot
Hendry - won

[blahblah]

Greene - Who is he anyway?
Dott - got him because he is so dull, and makes his games less tedious.
Fu - Good to watch etc....
Ebdon See Dott.
Higgins Could win it, couldn't he?

Edt: Looking like a for Ebdon, too.

[blahblah]

what is Ebdon doing? He has just lost 3 on the trot to go 8-5 behind

[Shaggy365]

Well and truly beaten.

I fear Mr Dingram may beat me in the FISO Cup. A 15 point deficit is probablky too much to try and pull back.

Bl**dy competition.

Whose idea was this?

[Darbyand]

My team:

6 Dott 197 - through
8 Cope 319 - through
12 Liang Wenbo 280 - out
16 Selby 480 - through
26 Day 499 - to play

[murf]

My team:
O'Sullivan 15
Dott 12
Gould - OUT - 2
Maguire - to play
Bond - 15

27th on 44 with one to play
but 2 points behind padmole in the cup......

He has Lee to play, I have Maguire. Could be close if Lee plays well.

[Darbyand]

Cam someone refresh my memory on the scoring system. I cannae see them on the website or on this thread (though will admit I haven't spent too long looking)

Frames won by your bloke score +2 and frames lost score -1

So if he wins 10-4 that is a score of 16 (=(2*10)-4)
