Malta Cup Round 1 – predict here (including earlier rounds)

[The Statman]

This is the thread on which you should make your predictions on the first round of the Malta Cup.

Please note the Rules (http://www.thesnookerforum.com/showthread-t_1084.html). Particularly, you are reminded that it is in your best interests to quote (or cut and paste from) THIS message for the draw, rather than the latest Predictor in the assumption that (s)he has correctly copied the draw.

The deadline is the scheduled start of play, which is 4:00p.m. [GMT or local time, to be advised] on Sunday 28 January 2007.
