Snooker's Biggest Quiz

[Ginger Freak]

Oh yeah!

It's my work Christmas do tonight so I only have the one brain cell trying to think of an answer. The other 10 billion or so are being devoted to working out how to hold down 15 pints tonight and still turn up for work tomorrow!

Is it nothing to do with the WC's then?

[Cyril]

Not what I'm looking for Ginge. I doubt Fagan ever played Joe as he was only 13 when Joe retired.

You could also add Walter Donaldson to the list and no doubt one or two other who I am unaware of.

[Ginger Freak]

ROUND ONE HUNDRED AND NINE

What is the link between these three players?

Fred Davis - Pat Houlihan - Patsy Fagan

Well I know they have all/claimed to have, beaten Joe Davis, beyond that, I have no idea, though I suspect it has something to do with their last/only appearance at the crucible...

[PaulTheSoave]

Smartypants!

[The Statman]

Correct Sir!

Virgo still went on to win his only Ranking Tournament in 1979! you could have mentioned bingham against Carter as well (yesterday). Is there something special about The UK. 4 out of 5 dockings occurred at this tournament!


anyonelse update the score please. no time, at work!

Correction! The UK was not a ranking event till the mid-80s!

[Cyril]

I'll look after you PTS.

Well done Mitsy!

[Mitsuko]

2 Frames - Terry Griffiths Vs John Virgo - Uk Championship (virgo docked 2)

Darren Morgan Vs Greame Dott - China Open (Dott docked 2)

1 Frame - Ricky Walden Vs Michael Holt - Uk Championship (Holt docked 1)

Shaun Murphy Vs Stephen Maguire - Grand Prix (Maguire docked 1)

[PaulTheSoave]

Round One Hundred and Eight.

Name 2 matches where a player was docked 2 frames incl tournament.

Name 2 matches where a player was docked 1 frame incl tournament.

Both involving (former) top 16 players (before you start ranting about your local league).

Only a full tally of answers will be accepted. dont come up with one match!

[PaulTheSoave]

I just logged on quickly to mention Toronto! which is wrong.

[chasmmi]

So there's never been an event in Scandanavia then?

[Cessy143]

I completely forgot about that one Statman. AECC sprung to mind, had to have a quick think re China Open (geography not my strong point).

[The Statman]

A very good, quick answer. I was hoping someone would stumble over the Toronto venue for the 1988 Canadian Masters, but that is some 13½º south of Aberdeen.

So here is the scoreboard after round 107:
