2017 Fantasy World Snooker

[Shaggy365]

Calm down everyone. It's back for a 10th year !!!

Usual rules apply. Pick 5 players. Don't over-spend the budget. Email or pm your player numbers before Saturday 15th when it all kicks off. 1st player in your selection gets 5 x points, 2nd player gets 4 x points etc. If you know of anyone else that might like a dabble, it's open to non-FISO people as well.

Oh yes, one final thing. Here's the website

I have to say while watching the scores click over last night in the final qualifying matches, there are a lot of people I don't recognise at all. It really will be the lucky pin this time.

Williams the big surprise not making it thru qualifers

I'm the other way and have watched loads recently so have far too much knowledge...

(I started playing in January, and was daft enough to tell a carer that I want to make a 50 break, and knocked in a 29 in late Jan or early Feb, before the forward\backward step thing kicked in and while playing better the Highest Break hasn't moved on.)

Entries into double figures. Unfortunately my computer from last year's competition suffered a disk failure when I hit it with a hammer, so I've no way of saying how many entrants I had last year. It'll be whatever it will be.

Keep us updated with the Entries that break the rules

That's only because you managed to find a calculator, and also count the fingers on 1 hand.

I think my "achievements" in that area have become exaggerated over time

Mark Selby vs Fergal O'Brien
Ryan Day vs Xiao Guodong

Thanks for running it again this year shaggy. My picks of Gould and Fu are too expensive so have had to gamble and I think my sentiments are taking over picking Ronnie. Might tinker before the start.

Same here.

This must be some sort of record. Out of all the entries received, they've all been valid !!!

I did have to inform one entrant that they had picked exactle the same numbers & same order as a previous entry. Given the fact that there are quite a lot of unique entries (21,254,280 to be exact), this is quite unusual.

Got mine chum?

I almost feel obliged to screw up the Eurovision entry

[murf]

I've just entered (legally??). I opened it up with my only plan being "don't pick Ronnie". Then I saw he was cheap.....

Same here and W1lbert above,

The only other doubt I have is Selby, but the Draw isn't too bad until Ronnie.

(So I've two I like, then those two and a wildcard\cheapie.)

... and the reason he's cheap is that it's all based on current world rankings. So because he's currently ranked 12th in the world ...

[nevblake]
