Yes technically the people in Group 1 have 7 chances, but those in group 7 only get 1MrOneLung said:but how far down do you keep adding another 3 new players to for the next group ?
And doesn't that mean those who were in the very first group can lose multiple times, but the 3 added in the very last group only have that one chance ?0 -

Wide open one this, Shaun Murphy / Trump probably have the best chance but could be anyone.0

After Trump struggled yesterday and Allen left.johnnybev1987 said:Wide open one this, Shaun Murphy / Trump probably have the best chance but could be anyone.
after the poor season he has had so far i decided this was gonna kick him on and put a few quid on Selby at 10/3
Really fearful for his chances to retain the world title now.0 -
Unlucky mate, Yeah he has been out of form this season, very unlike him. You would hope he gets back to form in Worlds, he is the man to beat still and is so far ahead on the rankings. Hoping he doesn't decline down the rankings as i feel he doesn't get the credit he deserves.paulie8290 said:
