Example- Say you selected Ronnie O'Sullivan as your Number 1 selection and he lost in the Semi Final, you would score 6x8= 48 Pts for Ronnie O'Sullivan. or you choose Ken Doherty as your Number 4 selection and he wins the Tournament you would score 5x12= 60 Pts for Ken Doherty. All of your 8 selections will be awarded points in this way.

* 1st round points scoring - Say you predict Ronnie O'Sullivan to beat Ding Junhui 10-5. If O'Sullivan does win 10-5 then you will score 7 Points for being exactly right. If O'Sullivan wins by any other score line you will score 3 Points for getting the correct result, if Ding beats O'Sullivan then will score 0. All of the 1st round matches will be scored in this way.

The Rules

* Only one entry per Tipster
* If Two or more players make the Highest Break of the Tournament, then each player will be awarded the 9 point bonus
* In the event of a tie for a prize money position the Tipster who scored the most points from the outright points section will be the winner, if still a tie then prize monies will be shared.
