# Drag Racer fades out in background #

Morning and welcome once again to the annual DS snooker prediction competition, as we embark for the eighth time on trying to work out who will prevail over the 17 day marathon. Hopefully it should be a terrific tournament that will live long in the memory. The usual structure applies, simply predict a scoreline for every match of the tournament.

Points structure:
Round 1 (best of 19): Pick the right winner: 4 points. Pick the right winner AND get the frame score right: 8 points
2nd Round (best of 25): 6 points / 12 points
QF (best of 25): 7 points / 14 points
SF (best of 33): 9 points / 18 points
F (best of 35): 10 points / 20 points

Other rules:
‘Shockers’. Should you tip the unseeded player on the right of the draw and he prevails, any points you win count DOUBLE.

Also, nominate a player who you think will hit the highest break, and what that break will be. Five bonus points on offer for each. If more than one player shares the highest break you still get the points.

Roll of honour:
2008: Psycho Ned (149 points)
2009: Detroit City (164 points)
2010: Darren Lethem (187 points)
2011: Matt35 (174 points)
2012: Psycho Ned (181 points)
2013: EPY (170 points)
2014: Wild Aces (185 points)

Deadline for entry: 10am Saturday 19th April. Any queries post on the thread or PM me. Good luck!

Draw template will be posted just after 10:30 this morning

It does intrigue me that people will predict their scores with only say 2 seeds losing, but when it comes to the question how many seeds will lose, they say 5 for example. Is it hedging your bets or showing no confidence in your prediction


PS - great work as always TC
