[The Statman]

This is the thread on which you should make your predictions on the second round of the Royal London Watches Grand Prix.

Please note the Rules (http://www.thesnookerforum.com/showthread-t_1084.html).

The deadline is the scheduled start of play, which is 1:30p.m. BST on Wednesday 25 October 2006.

Here is the draw: Remember, best-of-9, FIRST TO FIVE

Alan McManus v. Mark Selby
Ryan Day v. Ian McCulloch
Ronnie O’Sullivan v. David Gray
Neil Robertson v. Andrew Norman
Matthew Stevens v. John Higgins
Stephen Lee v. Mark King
Robert Milkins v. Jamie Cope
Joe Perry v. Ken Doherty

Finally, predict the overall highest break of this round:

[PaulTheSoave]

Maybe we should wait till all results are in. Would be less complicated!

[cap]

Match 8 seems wrong. They are all in the same group. Some can't face each other in the next round.

[PaulTheSoave]

Indeed! And Stephen Maguire is playing himself!!

[Alex0paul]

Indeed! And Stephen Maguire is playing himself!!

Plus he isn't even in the event anymore!

[The Statman]

Match 8 seems wrong. They are all in the same group. Some can't face each other in the next round.

Just noticed that. Thanks!

I can't imagine Stephen Maguire playing with himself would enhance the attendance figures!

[PaulTheSoave]

I think Statman should dock himself some points!

[Sarmu]

well Dott and Maguire are definally out

[chasmmi]

Ding Junhui v. Ian McCulloch, OR
Ding Junhui v. Stephen Lee, OR
Ding Junhui v. Robin Hull, OR

Dont think those can happen either

DIng gets DOherty or Roberstson if through

[The Statman]

Thanks for all your comments. I would be grateful, in all seriousness, if this could be kept as a prediction thread. It helps the admin enormously if I don't have to keep trudging through extraneous posts, especially as I will be leaving for Aberdeen tomorrow and may be restricted to a public phone box for my Internet access!

[The Statman]

Ding Junhui v. Ian McCulloch, OR
Ding Junhui v. Stephen Lee, OR
Ding Junhui v. Robin Hull, OR

Dont think those can happen either

DIng gets DOherty or Roberstson if through

Quite so. This should have said Day not Ding.

Whereby I would like to alter my predictions:

5-2 Day v McCulloch
5-3 Day v Lee
5-2 Day v Hull
