    Maybe you could give a clue for the people outside the Uk, who aren't listening to english commentary....

      So it's either pressure, kicks, or misses.

      I'll go for most number of foul and a miss calls in one tournament.

      • Another clue - if you were playing a league match you would be well advised doing this. Applies to pool and snooker.

          • Round 318

            As we are all having an afternoon off, I have an anagram I could not resist. Wanted it to keep it (with several others) after the tournament, but putting it on before leaving. snooker person and related expression

              • Going back to R317 - Chasmni you're guess is almost there.

                Final clue - Steve Davis according to the commentators used to be particularly good at this (even though he's not on the list).

                  Percentage of first frames won?

                          Jonathan Barron narrowed it down a bit - must be English winners of the World Amateur so with a bit of help from GSC I'll say Neil Mosley.

                          Comment


                          • Yes, indeed English winners of the World Amateur. Another point to Robert602!

                            I'll let Soavie confirm Round 318. Looks pretty good to me though!

                            So, here is the updated scoreboard after Round 319 (excluding Round 318):

                            • Yes! Very good! A bit late, but lost my way today a bit, on my walk (finished in the dark). Thorne missing that blue in The UK of course!

                              Someone please update the score, I am too tired!

                              Though I got another one, Round 320,
