Hi Everybody!!!

As the draw for the World Championship has been released, I have decided to start a prediction league for the Championship. The format is simple (I hope ) and is based on each round of the championship. A few days before each round begins I will post the fixtures and what you have to predict, and then your job is to use your mystical crystal ball to predict the outcomes. There will also be overall predictions for the whole championship. Go on, give it a go just for a bit of fun during the championship

I hope I haven't missed anything but if I have, don't hesitate to ask

Alrighty, here goes the overall champo predictions.

Overall:
Championship Winner - 5 points (10 if a qualifier)
Runner Up - 3 Points (5 if a qualifier)
Highest Break (Break + Player) - 2 points for each, 5 if you get both
Which qualifier will go furthest? And how far? - 3 points for player, 2 points for how far
Will there be a 147 break? And by who? - 2 points for correct guess, bonus 3 for correct player

The deadline for these predictions is Saturday morning at 10am
