Welcome to the 2007-08 Prediction Contest. This is the thread on which you should make your predictions on the first round of this season's contest – the first round of the Shanghai Masters.
Please take a few moments to acquaint yourselves with the Rules (http://www.thesnookerforum.com/predi...-for-4242.html), which have evolved over time and are designed to account for the weird and wonderful circumstances which have been thrown up. They are therefore lengthy, but hopefully clear.
Essentially, all you have to do is copy and paste the draw I have given below, into your post and at the beginning of each line predict the outcome of each match – and the overall highest break (figure only, no need for player).
The deadline for posting your predictions is the sceduled start of play, which is 7:00a.m. BST on Monday 6 August 2007. Any posts with a displayed time of 7:01a.m. or later on that day will be too late to be considered.
