Masters Round 1 – Predict here

[The Statman]

This is the thread on which you should make your predictions on the first round of the 2009 Masters (including wildcard round). This is also Round 34 of the Seasonlong Contest which will end with the World Final in May 2009.

Please note the Rules (http://www.thesnookerforum.com/board...ad.php?t=13755) – 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 scheduled start of play, which is 11:00a.m. GMT on Sunday 11 January 2009. Any posts with a displayed time of 11:01a.m. or later on that day will be too late to be considered.

Here is the draw – remember, best of 11, FIRST TO SIX:
