sadly only 1 point for me this round

thanks for the great work

[Lindea]

If it wasn't for Ronnie I'd probably have at least 1 point

But better luck next time then
You can't always win.

[Mitsuko]

yay near the top

[chasmmi]

I believe I predicted:

Ebdon 9-6 Ding
Higgins 9-4 Perry
Dott 9-7 Davis

and so should have 4 and a half points. I may be wrong though.

[JHISMG]

Why oh why wasnt I here for the first 2 rounds my 3rd round and Qf scores have been top drawer.

[archicrooks]

god you are quick with this result statman

HOW DO YOU DO IT !!!!!

[The Statman]

I believe I predicted:

Ebdon 9-6 Ding
Higgins 9-4 Perry
Dott 9-7 Davis

and so should have 4 and a half points. I may be wrong though.

Alas, no. You predicted 9-6 to Ding, not Ebdon.

[The Statman]

god you are quick with this result statman

HOW DO YOU DO IT !!!!!

I was greatly assisted by having only three matches; and two of them were one-sidedly predicted – the Ding match incorrectly and the Dott match correctly.

In fact the UK is one of the easiest ones for me, where each round takes at least two days. It also means that the quarters are over before I have started driving to wherever it is.

[chasmmi]

9-6 Ding Junhui v. Stuart Bingham, OR
6-9 Ding Junhui v. Peter Ebdon, OR
9-7 Matthew Stevens v. Stuart Bingham, OR
5-9 Matthew Stevens v. Peter Ebdon
9-5 John Higgins v. Ken Doherty, OR
9-4 John Higgins v. Joe Perry
4-9 Stephen Hendry v. Ronnie O'Sullivan, OR
5-9 Mark J. Williams v. Ronnie O'Sullivan
4-9 Alan McManus v. Graeme Dott, OR
7-9 Steve Davis v. Graeme Dott

Finally, predict the overall highest break of this round:

133

I am pretty sure I predicted Ebdon

Sorry Mr Ginger!

I have just had to alter the scores, as chasmmi's score was incorrect and he tied with you. On the tie-break, he won!

Would someone pleas check my mathematics.

Careful, you might damage the table!

Very unfortunate timing; if you'd been two minutes later you'd never have known (considering I published the results at about 10:30 last night).
