    Snooker World Championship Sweepstake

    Is anyone interested in doing this again this year? Here's last years thread, won by Aya with White Knight runner up.



    Again, open only to 8 players. Will be the same format as last year at $40 a head and it's going to be $220 for winner and $100 for 2nd

    I'm in, and will keep a spot for Connie147, Walter Mitty and last years champ Aya14 so 4 spots open. If any of the above don't want it, that's no bother.

    1. Flushdraw
    2. Walter Mitty
    3. Connie147
    4. Aya14

    Edit - Will put up the draw etc later

        Qualifiers start on Tuesday and go on to the following Wednesday. Here's a list of who has to do what. We'll start doing the official draw when these finish.

                    Still 1 spot open in this if anyone wants in.

                    The draw takes place tomorrow and here's the players and their seedings:



                    This is how the draw looks before tomorrow's draw:



                    Pots 3 and 4 will more than likely change so that there's only 2 players from each quarter in each pot.

                      I'll take it if it's still going Tony. Don't have Stars or any of that anymore so will have to sort something out for the transfer but will figure it out after the weekend.

                        Afaik last year nearly everyone just did a bank transfer, no escrow.
                        Going that way again Tony? otherwise let know where to ship to.

                        Cheers,
                        Ken

                              Not really. Robbie can only win as many frames as another 3 guys up to the semi, bar centuries obv. Well do this when I get home tonight. The draw is done but can't get online on my laptop to post it. Some of my fancied guys from pot 4 got nasty draws which is a shame.

                              Btw, no escrow just pay at the end.

                                Here are the players. Going to post in the BBV now and ask someone to randomly post the number 1-8 and that will be the picking order. Pls nobody involved post the draw.

                                We have less than 48 hours to get the draw done so we need to get it completed as quick as possible. It will be a random draw to see who gets 1st pick and we'll try to get it moving along as quick as possible.

                                If your name is drawn out 1st, you get 1st pick of Pot 1 and 4, but last pick of Pot 2 and 3. If you're drawn out 2nd, you get 2nd pick of Pot 1 and 4, but 7th pick from Pot 3 and 4 etc. You must pick only 1 player from each quarter of the draw, so for anyone confused, that's 1 yellow, 1 green, 1 blue and 1 red.

                                    If you can PM the next guy on the list when you're done too pls After the first 8 selections are made, the order is reversed so pick away and PM also. e.g Walter Mitty gets 4 consecutive picks.

                                            If a person has been PMd and 6 hours pass between the hours of 7am and 1am then they will be given the 2 highest seeds available from pot 1 then pot 4. Seem fair?

                                                  Hopefully thedini gets on soon. Both myself and Connie have Pm'd him. We'll give him til 9am to get his picks in or else we'll have to move on because we only have until tomorrow night really as it starts at 10am Saturday.

                                                  If he's not on, he'll get the highest seeds from Pots 1 and 4 and the action will move to White Knight.

We need to get it finished tonight, so he'll be given the 2 highest seeds available at 9pm and then action moves to thedini

                                                                                      The highest seed left for Connie was Joe Perry (16) so he was left with only 1 choice from Pot 3 and that was Dave Gilbert.

                                                                                      Eoghan had already asked me to pick the highest seeds for him when it was his turn, so his highest seed left was Stephen Maguire (10) and he was left with only 1 choice from Pot 1, and that was Jamie Burnett.

                                                                                      Just Aya and Mocata left to pick. Aya has to get Mark Davis and mocata has to get Mark Allen, so it's choice between Guodong and Doherty that will give us out teams.

                                                                                      Comment

                                                                                            Here's the teams anyway. Ronnie out in the lead as expected with 5 frames and a century, with Hull getting a century of his own. Doherty not letting the game get away from him either, and has a couple of points on the board.

                                                                                            Comment

                                                                                              Happy with this though as I expected a thumping and if Day can finish off Maguire and Bingham can take care of Ken, Walden will hammer Wilson so I'll have 3 in the second round.
