[bobbond]

9.Who was the lowest ranked player left in the Quarter Finals of the 2002 LG Cup
Gerard Greene

You sure this wasn't Jimmy Michie?

[MattCash]

i thought that aswell.

[AndrewB]

You sure this wasn't Jimmy Michie?

In 2002-3, Michie was ranked 55, Greene 63. (Doesn't help me either way - I somehow read "2002" as "2001-02" and put Barry Hawkins...)

[Kathrin]

ha, I didn´t answer this question at all
What about a current standing?

[crucible77]

ive posted the current standings kathrin

and it was Gerard Greene

[RaNeN]

OK here are the round 1 answers

10.Who potted the first ball of the 2009 Masters Final
Mark Selby

I should have read the question properly! I didnt notice the 'final' there!

[kafka]

I also thougth it was Michie. And it was my double answer. Anyway.

Maybe I overread a rule. But I think I have only the last two answers wrong. So why I have so miserable onehundretsomething points?

edit: ok, I overread something. But it still should be some more points. Though thanks to John for answering just one question*g*

[attilahun]

Are we going to receive the next set of questions anytime soon ?

If you are having difficulties with your homework and dont have time for the quizz, just tell us.....
