2nd Round Results

[rambon]

So far, we've had a 9-1, 9-2, 9-3, 9-4

what are the chances that the 8 games will finish with 8 different scores?

I'm sure The Statman will be able to tell us how many times that's happened before....

[Mitsuko]

Hadn't noticed the results like that before!

I wouldn't be surprised if it had never happened...

[RaNeN]

lol! Aint it funny...9-1 9-2 9-3 9-4 maybe we will see 9-5 9-6 9-7 9-8 today? lol

[elvaago]

I hope so, that'll do my predictions some good!

[rambon]

Obviously I meant third round....

lol! Aint it funny...9-1 9-2 9-3 9-4 maybe we will see 9-5 9-6 9-7 9-8 today? lol

Now map the scores to the remaining matches. What's your best guess?

[RaNeN]

I just hope Matthew Stevens wins 9-8!!! That will be good enough for me!

[rambon]

Well Hendry Williams could be the 9-8
Davis McManus could be close, and the other 2 that werer 5-3 overnight could be your 9-6 and your 9-5.

There is a remote chance it could happen I suppose... let's see

[edinmis]

there is a chance to get this kind of result, but i must say, the chance is very very low...

It's happened once or twice at the Crucible, though with eight best-of-25s that is obviously more likely.

I don;t have detailed figures on last-16 rounds, but I can tell you how often a ranking quarter-final line-up has resulted in the same scoreline for all (and, indeed, different scoreline for all, which for best-of-9s is rare).

[edinmis]

so far, until now, it continues with

ding 9 - 5 Stevens,
Perry leading 8 - 6 Doherty

[PaulTheSoave]

And hendry - williams is heading for a 9-7! (6-5 at the mo).

Steve being 4 all could go to a decider.

[gensdon]

it's 9-6 to perry, the trend continues...

[edinmis]

it stops now as Hendry wins with 9 - 6 as well.

[rambon]

2 frames out - Williams/Doherty and McManus win another frame each and we had it... never mind
