Thanks for the info, I have lost track a couple of days ago, might even watch some of it today.

Group 1 - it's between Higgins and Perry, both have 5 points so far

Group 2 - indeed, Kenny needs just a draw

Group 3 - IMO, if Hendo beats Murphy, he is through no matter what score (cos Hendo will have higher points then)?

Group 4 - Ding or Dale

they will then have the same score 4-3, but Murphy sitting on the advantage of 10 frame difference at the moment due to beating Drago 6-0.
A 4-2 will reduce that to 8, but will push Hendry only to 6 frame differnce... thus Murphy top...

the way last nights commentators said it was that if Hendry wins, by 4-2, 5-1, or 6-0, then he will go ahead of Murphy on POINTS and so will win the group. if Murphy draws or wins he is through

snookersfun, Murphy now has 6 points, Hendry 5. if Hendry wins, he will have 7, Murphy still 6. As the group winner is determined first by points won, I don't see the frame difference plays any part here... Or do I understand this wrong?

edit: thanks Semih I agree with the commentators

[snookersfun]

yep, you are right, I ignored the points totally...

It's probably different timezone, there is 1 hour difference and you probably looking at the Malta local time

[Mauricio]

How should I configure WMP? Where can I find a valid proxy server?

Many thanks.

A collage i did for the match between ding and dale

[snookersfun]

so Group 1 all set already:

my lucky dip, John Higgins did some grinding out to win 3 frames (and doesn't seem to have a problem putting more on the board now)

[April madness]

4-1 already, snookersfun so is definitely through, congratulations

[Ekphantos]

So, Ken Doherty is now through?
