Sp4 has all 5 players left.

Still happy with my 4 (and the 2 in Rd2 action so far are both winning). May just get more than my usual mid table mediocrity.

EDIT sorry, only 1 winning in Rd2, the other was winning in Rd1.

Now that the first round of matches is complete, I'll start a little side-competition to run along-side this, and it comes in the way of an elimination competition. So, at the end of each round, the bottom 1/3rd (and tied) of the scores during that round will be eliminated. Thus the number of people progressing from each round will probably be 14, 9, 6 & 4 people going into the final.

The league positions using just the first round points are :
Pos Name Players Points
1 Spencer4 4 9 12 16 26 6584
2 kingcurtley 3 4 8 23 27 5822
3 murf 4 7 8 18 29 5493
4 morganb 4 7 8 18 31 5483
5 S_sutton87 2 4 10 18 31 5220
6 polarbear 9 14 29 7 6 5150
7 owenclass 4 7 14 18 23 4899
8 SamD 4 7 8 29 17 4865
9 blahblah 1 4 9 24 29 4780
10 toffeelover 17 29 25 4 1 4612
11 Rick Spangle 4 1 8 23 29 4221
12 bluenosey 7 8 14 18 22 4070
13 nevblake 4 7 8 14 32 3849
14 Surprised 8 25 11 14 7 3774
15 Shaggy365 1 5 18 19 23 3332
16 trampie 1 4 12 17 31 2757
17 Darbyand 4 1 2 31 32 2734
18 the bear 1 8 12 23 21 2401
19 Kris_fiso 1 4 7 26 31 2006
20 Brightwater 1 7 8 18 32 1794
21 Mo Bot 1 26 4 20 14 1647

meaning me & the people below are eliminated. At the end of each round, I will put here the scores just for that round so another batch of people can bite the dust.

I should wish every-one good luck, but since 7 of us are already out I will wish good luck to those people that made the cut.

Excellent - another comp to get knocked out of!
To clarify - is it based on the total score at the end of the round or just the score for that round??

It'll be just the points scored in that round. Hopefully when there are 4 people waiting on the score in the final, one person will emerge victorious. Could have had just 2 people in the final, but then what happens if both those people have no-one in the final? Decided 4 was a good number to ensure at least one person had one finalist, and hopefully (for the sake of the competition) one or two players with both finalists.

It seems that this round is where the established names are strughling\falling rather than the 1st. Certainly Selby and Maguire were very fortunate and I would argue thst Williams had an early let off and should have strolled to victory..

Maguire should get tonked by Judd\Ding with Judd very fortunate to still be in it.

Selby's conqueror has had his day unless Carter beats Zhou and is then knackered. As above I know little about which sort of Crohn's he has; and Zhou shouldn't have much trouble beating Wilson.

This finalist should be Ding or Judd, but a surprise from Zhou is far from impossible, with Carter a bit nearer impossible.

Gilbert is looking good to go 11-8 up on Williams, but he has had issues crossing the line when well up in big matches before. I'm not expecting K Wilson Or Gilbert to cause Hawkins any problems on his way to the QF, but Williams could be tricky if he finds some form. Does K Wilson remind anyone else of Blakey from On the Buses?

I haven't seen much of Higgns and Bingham tbh. But I would guess that Bingham will be a less taxing match for the Blonde Tart and this is all that will give Hawkins a chance in the Semi as Hawkins just doesn't have the game to play at the higher level he will need to over so many frames. It will be interesting if Robinson has to go through Higgins and he has found his mojo though.

On the basis that the final is Hawkins or Robertson vs Ding or Trump, with Zhou or Carter outside shouts.
Robbo beats either, unless fatigue kicks in - he has got to the last 4 Finals, so this is possible... (For some reason I think that he is veggie or vegan, if thst is relevant.)

Hawkins is the interesting one, yet dull as a dull thing to watch. I would expect Ding to beat him, but he could easily bog Trump down and take him. If it is one of the other 2 then it is too close to call, imho, and that includes the score as the final session may not be needed.

If Higgins does get there, then I expect him to win or retire immediately afterwards

Gilbert (12-8 up) has a history of choking as his action is so long and he could suffer from blah disease: mind decides to do something else mid shot or gets confused and just hits the CB...... Neither are positives :lol:

No choking there Blah. Check out his break to make it 9-7.

I know I'm biased but gerrin there 8-)

Robertson will be very tough. Still, Dave has nothing to lose*

It will help if he thinks that way: but Hawkins will be tough for him over 3 sessions, K Wilson less so imho.

I actually think Wilson will win as he can't play as bad again but then again Hawkins tends to grind out results at the Crucible.

I have to say the games have been really exciting this year. A lot have gone down to the deciding frame and lots of new faces making an impression.

I watch a fair bit tbh and so maybe not so new. I have Zhou Tian and Zhao above Yan Bingthing, with Un Nooh delightfully easy on the eye. Zhao cracked against Selby; Maguire fluked the win over Tian imho; and Judd is a lucky Trump.

I think Joe O'Connor is one to watch: along with Cahill.

The likes of Woolaston and McGill need to have a good look at themselves or become the next generation of Dominic Dales... Ding was there for the taking, as he has hardly played this year yet McGill never put him under any pressure. The poor sod who played Murphy: I could almost smell him shitting himself through the tv....

I must admit I thought we would have a Chinese World Champ by now. Ding can't quite click at the Crucible, apart from one year when runner up. Uh Nooh was very impressive and unlucky. As I watch ironically, it's his victor, Trump, taking Ding to the cleaners.

I must admit I know little about the newer players, Gilbert apart, who's not really new. The likes of both Wilsons and Cahill have all quit or nearly quit and come back. I though Cahill's attacking game was a joy to watch. Just ran out of steam and luck in the end. Brecel is another who hasn't kicked on and it would be great to have a top class European player.

I'd love an 18 yer old to come out of nowhere and have a go. Trump was the last to do that in 2011. Real flair snooker, It seems the average age is now 35-40 ! Hendry and Ronnie were 16/17 when they made the big breakthrough and I would just like to see that again. Unfortunately the boom time for snooker seems to have gone. Apart from a couple of tables at a social club, the big chain of clubs - Rileys - is pool/darts/poker and a few unloved snooker tables :(

But... ROS, Higgins and Williams were so good and still can be. Apart from the odd firework, who has really challenged them in however many decades? Selby and Hunter then Ding and Trump to a certain extent.

Tossing Selby into that 3 I can confidently say that they have been the best because they can Matchplay as well as pot. The Chinese, young Brits and Luca just try to pot, which only takes a player so far; while the Essex mafia just play percentages with limited 'talent'.

Yep, I was watching the other one but dipped in now and again.

It seems that a fair few of the BBC "experts" hardly watch snooker except when they are "commentating". Eurosport Player is only £30 or £40 a year, and tax deductible for them..... not to mention free on YouTube.

That was surely the best anyone has played in one session so far. I though Blah was going to be right about The Hawk but Wilson showing his steal and has made it back to 9-8. WIsh I wasn't at work :(

Joe Johnson and Mike Hallett are excellent on Eurosport and you get Jimmy White's gravelly "I've been on the pop the night before" analysis in between sessions :)

...although caught up with one of my mates who was there Saturday night/ Sunday morning sessions and he had his photo take with John Virgo and was full of praise for JV.

I really should fire up the Eurosport Player up on the tv :lol: To think BBC are still not talking to Clive Everton and pay ex Pro's who seemingly don't watch any snooker through the year :roll:

When Dale isn't trying to be funny he can be insightful...

I've been on the Zhou mstch as I rate him very highly along with Zhao, who let Selby off the hook, imho. Wilson must have found dome form\confidence to get back into thst one, or Hawkins went AWOL?

Wilson's shot time must have hot slower, it is painful to watch now....

Zhou seems to have cracked under Carter pressure and has lost 5 on the bounce so 12-9 now :(
