ROUND THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY THREE

Who came 3rd in the 1988 Lion Brown New Zealand Masters???

Would that mean semi-finals?, then there would be four players, or was it a league?

[crucible77]

There was a 3rd place play off in that tournament bongo...:snooker:

OK, I will see if I can find the answer, but I'm sure it will be very difficult!

[The Statman]

While we try to work out the answer to Round 333 (I will see if I can unearth it later!), I am going to open ROUND THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR

This is a Statman's Birthday Special and is therefore worth three point, one for each aspect.

A quote from Clive Everton during commentary at the Crucible many years ago:

"He doesn't know, he doesn't know... [pause] He knows now! Well, if you look long enough, you see everything."

What I want to know is:
(a) Which player was the sunject of this commentary?
(b) Who was his opponent?
(c) Describe the incident.

One point for the first correct answer to each.

[crucible77]

Not sure if this is right but

(a) Which player was the sunject of this commentary?-Liang Wenbo
(b) Who was his opponent?-Joe Swail
(c) Describe the incident.-When wenbo potted a wild fluke but didnt realise he'd potted it and went back to his seat

[The Statman]

No. It was not in the 21st century.

Could we have another clue, The Statman?

[dantuck_7]

a) Steve Davis
c) misreading frame score?

[The Statman]

a) Steve Davis
c) misreading frame score?

Congratulations Dan. Over a month after my birthday, a correct answer to my birthday special! Two points to you, sir!

Anyone know who he was playing?

Steve Davis was 36 or 37 behind with one red left. He evidently miscalculated the score as he proceeded to clear up. Ray Edmonds commented, "You don't think he's made a mistake, Clive, and forgotten he needs a snooker?"

Clive responded, "No. I think he'll pot green and brown and snooker on the blue behind the black." Pause as Davis pots the brown; "...Although the way he's played that, I'm not so sure."

In the end Davis potted the pink and Len Ganley, the referee, pointed out the difference in score.

Dont forget my question:

was that Mike Hallett?

[The Statman]

I think it's time to abandon unanswered questions and start a new one...

ROUND THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FIVE

As we know, the date clash between the League and Bahrain has meant that three top-16 players have not entered. This means that three players, ranked 17-19, appear as seeds.

My question is:

What was the last tournament in which a non-member of the top-16 was seeded to the last-32 of a ranking tournament?

Please name the tournament and the player concerned.

[Monique]

Dom Dale in the Shainghai Masters this season? He was the defending champion.

[The Statman]

Congratulations Monique. It was indeed Dominic Dale earlier this season in Shanghai.

So here is the table after round 335, excluding round 333 which is still unanswered.
