Williams claims a tense frame to make it 5-4

[Ginger Freak]

Impossible

Oh yeah, d'oh!

Well what if Ronnie/Robertson wins it, and Murphy is runner up then?

[Sarmu]

Oh yeah, d'oh!

Well what if Ronnie/Robertson wins it, and Murphy is runner up then?

If Ronnie beat Murphy in the final, Ronnie will be 200 Points ahead

So all in all its looking good for a snooker world without Murphy as number 1 (although I have probably jinxed that now!)

[snookersfun]

OK, tried to figure it out by myself (hope I took the right starting list) doing that for the first time as well. Just shout if there are mistakes:

Points before worlds/of worlds/total points
1.. Graeme Dott...... 36,375.. 1,400.. 37,775
2.. Ken Doherty...... 34,400.. 1,400.. 35,800
3.. John Higgins...... 32,250.. >1,400
4.. Shaun Murphy... 31,300.. >3,800.. >=35,100
5.. Peter Ebdon....... 29,750.. >3,800.. >=33,550
6.. Ronnie O'Sullivan. 29,500.. >3,800.. >=33,300
7.. Neil Robertson.... 29,325.. >1,400
8.. Stephen Hendry.. 28,675.. >1,400
9.. Ding Junhui........ 28,000.. 2,800.. 30,800
10. Mark Williams..... 25,725.. >1,400
11. Stephen Maguire. 24,150.. >1,400
12. Stephen Lee...... 24,050.. >1,400
13. Steve Davis....... 23,550.. 1,400.. 24,950
14. Barry Hawkins.... 22,350.. 1,400.. 23,750
15. Ryan Day .......... 21,700.. >2,800.. 24,500

Cheers fella, can you post a list of ranking points per round? ie how many would a player get for reaching the quater-finals for example

[snookersfun]

well, yes,
for this round 1400(seeds)/2800
into last 16: 3800
into quarters: 5000
into semis: 6400
RU:8000
winner: a whooping 10000

[missneworleans]

I'm very disappointed with Ken's lose, but Marc really deserved that win
And good comeback by Swail but this match looks like marathon. I think it will take long time and at least 18 frames

[Ginger Freak]

I' m not that surprised about Doherty losing. Mark is really playing well and with a lot of determination.

[nickdyr]

Soon it´s time for the Maestro!
I´m getting nervous and excited, you can´t take anything for granted these days but I have a good feeling about Hendo!

[nickdyr]

C´mon guys!
Am I the only one who can´t wait to see Hendry play?!
(Although I am at work so I can´t watch anything but WS livescore and guess if Hendry is Murphy or someone else....)
Is there a better livescore?
