Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen.
Following the completion of the Northern Ireland, Pot Balck, Grand Prix and Premier League predictions, the total number of points given out, excluding bonuses, is 5996½. A further 647 points were scored in the UK first round.
PREDICT HERE how many points you think will have been scored at the end of the season (i.e. at the end of the World Championship), excluding bonuses for high break and round-robin group winners – so, just from match results.
The tournaments still to be held are: UK, Masters, Welsh, Malta, China and World Championship (the Worlds will include the final qualifying round).
The deadline for posting your prediction is MIDNIGHT (GMT) on Monday 1 January 2007. That is to say, the point at which 31 December becomes 1 January.
The closest to the exact total amount will win this purely-for-fun contest.
You are reminded that the scoring system for 'best-ofs' is:
Best-of-17 or longer: 2 points for correct winner and scoreline; 1½ points for correct winner with scoreline one frame adrift; 1 point for correct winner.
Best-of-9 to best-of-15: 2 points for correct winner and scoreline; 1 point for correct winner.
Best-of-3 to best-of-7: 1 points for correct winner and scoreline; ½ point for correct winner.
Best-of-1: 1 point for correct winner.
...and for league-style exact-number-of-frames matches:
2 points for correct scoreline; 1 point for scoreline one frame adrift.
If other tournaments are announced, they will be excluded from this contest.
