Championship League Snooker Discussion 2010

Great steal from Higgins. He looked like going to trail 0-2 and turned the match over 3-1

[cue1]

Congratulations cue1 you are seeing the light!

And isn't Ali doing amazingly? he hasn't missed ANYTHING... except match ball Good...

Lol I really like his fighting qualities :snooker:

Ali is certainly playing very well... He seems very relaxed & playing all the right shots at the right pace

EDIT: I'm really liking the comeback Mark is staging against John! :snooker:

[miscuehamburg]

Another good come back from Selbs

[very.tee]

Yey!!! Aww Mark... it's only the CL but a good comeback is still a good comeback Good lad

[montoya10]

I haven't been around for quite a while, and I did no idea about the start time of the CL..

Hopefully Masters is coming to take me back into the snooker world

Hopefully Masters is coming to take me back into the snooker world

If that doesn't then NOTHING will..

If say Selby, Higgins, and Carter are all on 3 points/wins, how do they decide, who is playing in the play-offs?

And it seems not everyone will have played everyone before the start of play-offs, or am I missing something?

as usual
they will decide the positions in the league table on the number of frames won and lost by each player
and every player plays 6 matches in the group stage then it is the play-offs

And in the case of Carter losing to Trump without stealing a single frame and thus equaling the 11W-11L ratio of Mark Selby he still finishes ahead of him (placed 4th and earned an advance into the play-offs) as he defeated Mark in their respective match.

I think the 4th place is between Higgins and Carter, the later needing to win that decider against Trump.

I guess then global-snooker results table was not updated yet at that point I was checking it - seemed that some players had played 4 games with just 1 more was remaining, while Higgins had 6 matches already.

Will Ronnie be purple already tomorrow?

[wildhoney28]

table after group phase is:

1.Trump 4 +6
2.Carter 4 +4
3.Maguire 4 +3
4.Selby 4 +2
--------------------
5.Higgins 3 +1
--------------------
6.Murphy 2 -5
7.Day 0 -11

So 4 players with 4 wins
Table between them:

1.Selby 2 wins 8:5 frame diff.
2.Carter 2 wins 8:7
3.Trump 1 win 6:7
4.Maguire 1 win 5:8

So i think Selby-Maguire
and Carter-Trump
in the semifinals

At the time I wrote the post it was certain that Day and Murphy will the last and next to the last in this group.
Trump's and Maguire's advance into the latter stages was given.
Higgins, Selby and Carter had all 3 wins.

Given Trump's results and the fact he was one frame up against Carter I was leaning towards Ali losing the match. I was contemplating the positions with the scenario of Ali not winning a frame against Judd.
John's W/L ratio would be then better than Ali's as well as Mark's. The battle for the 4th place would be therefore decided based on the result of Ali's and Mark's previous match.

I could have made a mistake in my calculations, though.

[miscuehamburg]

Never mind how they qualified, but Trump-Selby seems to be a great match. Selbs just stole the first frame due to a careless safety by Trump, who was already 1 snooker ahead...

[very.tee]

Trump, Mark match is really good I'm enjoying it lots
