Was it his 10th frame on a re-spot black in the championships?

[chasmmi]

100 century breaks at the crucible?

[The Statman]

Congratulations Davis Greatest.

The 9 frames Hendry won at the Crucible 2006 propelled his total of frames won in the World Championships – including qualifiers – from 993 to 1002.

So here is the scoreboard after round 129:

ROUND ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY

Anyone?

[hegeland]

But it is the most frames (1002) anyone have won, right?

[The Statman]

But it is the most frames (1002) anyone have won, right?

In fact, no. Follow this link http://www.thesnookerforum.com/forumdisplay-f_141.html and click on 'most frames won'.

In fact the earliest Hendry could have the outright record would be 2020, and only then if he wins thirteen of those and reaches the semi-final of the other!

[Cyril]

Unless they change the duration of the matches, of course.

Still, think Fred Davis' record is safe for a while yet.

[Mitsuko]

Blimey, never realised he was so far ahead

[The Statman]

ROUND ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY

Looking at Crucible matches, come up with as many different pairings as you can, where every player's surname begins with a different letter of the alphabet.

So, if you were to cite the 2006 final, Dott v. Ebdon, you could not then use any other player whose surname begins with either D or E. For each match, you must state the year in which it took place.

Most by 2:22p.m. UK time, as displayed on TSF, will win. In the case of a tie, preference will be given to the answer which involves the most first-name initials.

Remember, the matches must have actually occurred.

I would like to make a special mention for Kellie-text, who has an excellent rate of return on posts in this thread.

She has two points on the scoreboard, and has only posted twice on this thread!

[Lindea]

Weel done to Kellie-text

I only ever have a go of the quiz in my lunch break. And there arnt always questions in progress at the time.

So in future, please have a question between 1.45pm and 2.30!

Thankyou!

Congratulations Lindea. 10 is the best score since only 21 letters of the alphabet match with a player's surname.
