Might be a decent tactic to deploy then

Neil

We have two Marcos

We can class this Marco as MVG...

Marco 1 is actually MILF.

Saucy nickname, that

Don't get your hopes up

Be weird watching this tournament on ITV, so used to the beeb screening the snooker

Hi RKW - put my name down for the prediction game, although I'll probably forget . Didn't even know about this tournament until I happened to flick onto these pages

kinsang - How're things?

I'll probably be terrible as well! You around for the next few weeks? This tournament is immediately followed by the UK Championship.

Hi RKW - should be about, as long as I remember!! Your team have made a decent start to the season, and mine are slowly but surely coming to hand, looks like a tight season ahead. But back to the snooker, and I see Ding is the form man, which means he'll probably tail off by the time the WCs come around!! Look forward to commenting on your threads.

Yeah we've had a good start, makes a nice change to be ahead of teams rather than in the bottom half looking up. The way it's shaping up, think the top six of Liv, MU, MC, Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea could finish in any order.

Ding won three from three, Ronnie to come back now though. Think this will be his tournament, his type of format.

Always hard to say with Ronnie - I could imagine him just winning world titles and nothing else!!

It would be great if there was a 6 horse race come April, but will probably end up with 2 or 3 fighting it out at the end - but the question is, which 2 or 3?

I remember him winning the Power Snooker tournament last year, can see this thing next week being a similar triumph for him.

As for the UK Championship, can't put a name on a winner. Be a lot of new names with the Last 128 being the first round. Will be a nightmare to keep up with all the scores on the article too!

RKW... You missed your bonuses

Tournament starts on Tuesday, goes live at 12.45pm on ITV

If someone wants to keep track of predictions and the scores then as soon as we can. I won't be around all the time during this one so will probably end up missing a prediction or two, because of the evening session games.

We've missed the boat on this IMO Rex

How many people are actually in for the predictions - doesn't seem to be many takers, despite good attempts to get interest going

To be honest I don't think this is the best tournament to get a prediction game going. Will be better for the UK next week. Need a decent number of people to comment and get interested for this tournament first though so we can run a successful predictor.

Did anyone watch this yesterday? I wasn't around don't even know the scores.

Surprising miss by Judd on the red in the opening frame which would have clinched it. Bingham clears last 5 reds plus colours to take early lead.
