Concerning the withdrawal of Mark J. Williams:
Although not explicitly stated in the Rules, Mark Williams's matches, which have now become void, will not be considered in the prediction contest.
You will note within the Rules that the following matches will not be considered:
a) Matches in which a player did not turn up;
b) Matches in which a player retired before the scheduled conclusion;
c) Matches which were incorrectly stated, or incorrectly missing from, the draw provided on the predictions thread.
I think it is implicit within this that Williams's retirement renders his matches that have already been played as not being considered.
