963-your turn

[missneworleans]

Yep I couldn't understand how it was possible and then realised that in early years of the crucible top8 were seeded into the next round...
963-let me think

[dantuck_7]

I just spent 30 minutes working that out.... :-(

Yep Alex Higgins in 1980 won 68 frames whereas Thorburn won 60.
