Round 78 Anyone?

[Alex0paul]

Well that lasted long didn't it!

Yes Snookersfun, that is the correct answer. I'll try and update the scoreboard if I can find it.

[snookersfun]

Notable for being the only player to reach the quarter finals of the world championship on his only appearance.

[Alex0paul]

Round Whatever it is

Pretty easy one,
What has Patrick Wallace done at the Crucible that has never been done before or after he did it?

[chasmmi]

[Obligation]

Ooops, big sorry to everyone

I meant to type in 1997/1998, but in fact wrote 1998/1999.

Sorry, but yes, congrats Chasmmi

[Ellena]

Err..yep , but that's 97/98 season , not 98/99 as it was mentioned in the first place , in the quiz! (" He lost ALL his opening matches in the 1998/1999 season.")

So i am officially confuzzled!

But congrats to Chasmmi!

Ps : Robert, thanks for the infos!

[Obligation]

Alan's Season:

1997/98
Grand Prix: 2R 1-5 Paul Davies
UK: 2R 3-9 Shokat Ali
German: Qual. 1-5 Jamie Burnett
Welsh: 2R 3-5 Stefan Mazrocis
Scottish: 2R 3-5 David Roe
Thailand: 1R 4-5 Martin Clark
British: 2R 3-5 Karl Burrows
World: 1R 8-10 Matthew Stevens

Which essentially means he lost the first game he played for each of these competitions

[Obligation]

Oh, and thank you, for thanking me, for turning ______

[Obligation]

Chasmmi, I may now officially declare you are right

Please give Chasmmi a point next time you update the scoreboard

[snookersfun]

Obli went into hiding or is torturing his laptop

[Robert602]

According to my lil "research" only Ian McCulloch lost all his first round matches in the competitions he took part ( he wasn't in all of them) , but he wasn't in the draws for the Worlds in 95/96 season , neither in those for China Cup 98/99 .

Of course i reserve the right to be completely wrong !

McCulloch did lose all the first round matches he was in, but remember that he was ranked only 60th at that time, so he usually needed to win a few qualifiers to get that far.(ie, they may have been 'first' round, but they weren't his opening matches). For the record, he was knocked out by Drew Henry in the 1999 China International (6th qualifying round) and by Nigel Gilbert in the eighth qualifying round of the 1996 World's.

Shawn Budd did have a bad 98/99 season, losing every match (good find chasmmi) however I don't think he was ever ranked and he didn't enter the 1996 worlds either.

Credit goes to Statman and snooker.org for the info.

So come on Obli, what's the answer ?

[JPK123]

1968 / 12 x 142 / 11 x 5 = 10585.454545 recurring ?

gah! I thought it was Martin Clark - but he won one match in 1998/99 in he UK Championships beating Joe Perry 9-8!

I agree with everyone else, I don't think the criteria fits anyone.
