World Championship discussion

[Sarmu]

So what will happen if both Rank16 and Rank17 player has same point? Both probably would considered as equal 16, however who is gonna make it into top16 seed? as it is possible with Steve and Matthew

[Robert602]

Note: I've figured if Matthew Stevens do get to semi, his score will tie with Davis at 24950, how is that gonna work out?

Thanks for your calculations Sarmu, very clear.

In case of tied ranking points there are various tiebreak procedures that come into effect to decide positions, the first of which, as far as I remember, is position on the one year list. Matthew Stevens would be ahead here if he got to the semi (currently he's slightly behind Davis).

Thanks for clear that up Robert

Players on equal points at the end of the season will be ranked according to most points earned in the last season. Should this not determine positions, points in events working backwards from the World Championship will be considered. Finally, if still equal, frames won in losing final match would be used from events working backwards from the World Championship.

What a sensational start from Trump. Two unbelievable pieces of luck against Murphy.

[ferret]

Do you think Murphy has his superman suit on under all that?

[Miss Walker]

or his superman underpants?

And Fergal O'Brien starts off with a century. Not bad that!

[zong]

Oh, what a shame! What a big, big shame! How unfortunate wasn't that? Poor Davis!

This match was a classic, one of the best I've seen in long time.

agreed, i thought davis fought really well though the last few frames, pity he missed some easy pots to let JP back in

[Alex0paul]

Looks like 2-0 Murphy. Trump looks like a rabbit in the headlights.

[Miss Walker]

He's just won the fourth frame though, good on him!

Murphy 3-1 Judd

[Alex0paul]

I have a feeling that something big will happen today in the world of snooker

[Miss Walker]

Are you a clairvoyant? Or just intuition? I'd like to be able to watch the Murphy-Judd match, but am stuck with Hawkins-O'Brien at 5-6...

[Rozaroo]

It's now 5-7 and not looking quite so good for Sarmu's list. Come on Barry, do it for Steve!

[Alex0paul]

Am I right in thinking that if Trump makes a centuary today would he be the youngest centuary maker at the Crucible?
