This is the thread on which you should make your predictions on the quarter-finals of the China Open. This is also Round 48 of the Seasonlong Contest which will end with the World Final in May.

Please note the Rules (http://www.thesnookerforum.com/predi...-for-4242.html) – particularly, note that it is in your interest to use THIS MESSAGE as basis of your post, rather than basing it on a previous predictor’s post in the assumption that (s)he has correctly copied the draw.

The deadline for posting your predictions is the sceduled start of play, which is 6:30a.m. GMT on Friday 28 March 2008. Any posts with a displayed time of 6:31a.m. or later on that day will be too late to be considered.

Here is the draw – remember, best of 9, FIRST TO FIVE – hopefully I've got it right this time:

Nigel Bond v. Stephen Maguire
Mark J. Williams v. Ryan Day
Shaun Murphy v. Mark Allen
Mark Selby v. John Higgins

Finally please predict the overall highest break of the above matches:
