Interestingly enough, all of the 14 remaining players have got Mark Selby in their teams. Only cue1, very.tee (both Selby, Burnett and Stevens) and hotpot (Selby and Stevens) have got more than 1 player left.

[montoya10]

theasaris, I think hotpot is theoretically knocked out of the tournament as well, as he shares three players with cue1 and very.tee, and Burnett already overpowered Gould. All the other remaining players share Selby with the duo, and they do not have any other players, so, that means they can't be replaced atop the rankings.

That means, provisionally the winners are cue1 and very.tee.

There must be a tie-break, though.
We can't let this two to be the co-winners at all events!!

I checked their post times and saw that they were almost simultaneous.
However, very.tee should be declared as the winner, in my opinion, as the topic starter

Now, what do you say, mates? Are you still team mates or is this the start of a war
Oh my, I will start the next topic, so I have to find a new tie-breaker rule

[cue1]

That means, provisionally the winners are cue1 and very.tee.

You betcha!!!

There must be a tie-break, though.

NO!!! There can't be a tie-break, we worked hard on this :humph: Otherwise, we'll both boycott this & all other events!!! :humph:

We can't let this two to be the co-winners at all events!!

Yes, you can!!! We are the DREAM TEAM!!!

In your dreams, montoya10

Now, what do you say, mates? Are you still team mates or is this the start of a war

Dream on, mate... You (or anyone else for that matter) will never drive a wedge between us

[montoya10]

Too much dream there, cue1, eh?

Ok, I take my word back, I'm one against you two, so I have got no choice

Provisional winners are the Dream Team then

[theasaris]

Lovely discussion. I'd say, just let them both win.

I haven't done all the math, but I wanted to refrain from declaring them winners just yet. After all, points can be deducted in case of a whitewash, so (without calculating it through) hotpot - or others - might theoretically win, if Burnett and/or Stevens were to get whitewashed. I know, theoretically.

If you stop dreaming, you stop living!

You got that right

Much better, montaya10 :nods head in approval:

Yes, please

Oh, you are right, I overlooked that possibility. But Burnett can afford to get whitewashed, I suppose. Especially after he whitewashed Higginson to get some extra points and got to the semi finals, far better progression than Gould

Anyway, you are the math boss starting with this one

[Mr P]

I'm still in with a shout here I think, Selby needs to win it and we need a 147 break, though!

[theasaris]

Anyway, you are the math boss starting with this one

Glad to be of service.

I'm still in with a shout here I think, Selby needs to win it and we need a 147 break, though!

If you mean "in" as in going for a top ten position, then you are absolutely correct.

@cue1 and very.tee
I shall now officially confirm that you have won. Congratulations!
(Why didn't I put my money on Jamie Burnett? *sigh*)

Well, Mr P, you would have a good chance if only all other teams didn't also have Selby

Also, I will try to base the entry fee for players on their form, rather than their rankings, so, starting with the second event, please feel free to warn me if I fall into a mistake with the prices

[montoya10]

Not a bad idea, but PTC is making everything confusing..
Ronnie O'Sullivan would be a really cheap pick with this one.
Neil Robertson, Ryan Day, Mark Allen, Stephen Hendry are too much down as well..
I can't decide whether this can be applied or not
