I am surprised this tournament is included in the prediction quiz as its not a ranking tournament. (The Masters being the exception, but its high profile). Does it mean The German Open will be included as well, next season? (and dutch open?).

Malta Cup is no longer a ranker? Surprising, and a shame.

And

[elvaago]

Malta Cup is no longer a ranker? Surprising, and a shame.

And people, when you predict Neil Robertson v. Joe Swail twice, why are you predicting two different results? It just makes it harder for Statman to figure out what you meant. :-)

Sorry for the double post. Can't edit.
