First ranking tournament wins of each after turning pro?

Iranu is the warmest so far. If he's saying what I think he's saying.

If he wrote out his workings for this reply that would probably help others.

Ooo, positively sizzling... if you just wrote them all out...

So what I’m saying is Ronnie is the player born latest in 1975. So to amend slightly:

my guess is that each player you listed is the top 16 player born the latest in their respective year of birth from 1970-79?

Well I'm going to give you half the victory at this stage as you are the first person to realise that each player represents one year from 1970-1979.

But the reasoning of why each player was chosen for their year? Nope, it's nothing to do with any of them being younger or older than each other within their respective years.

You did notice something else about them though which almost made me sit up.

Maybe the most successful player born in each year of the 70s?

The original idea of the quiz, I thought, was no googling, testing our knowledge of the game, strange archaic facts and fun.

Not torturous sequences involving detailed internet research yawwwwwwn and two day long questions.

Just my opinion. Bah humbug.

Will it it be Ryan's Day?

Yes! (although chen describes it in it's most exact form)

Iranu can have the victory, chen gets bragging rights for both the detail and having a stab at the next player in the sequence and why.

Simples.

Buck me it was like a match between Lee Walker and Rod Lawler

Nah, you're just getting grumpy because you haven't got a question right since Oct 28th.

Looking back there, there was a question which went over into the next day and you said, and I quote "fantastic question".

Au contraire. I've been on a mad sesh with brand new siblings.

Buck me are you a lawyer or something? Anything you post may be used as evidence against you

Ronnie O’Sullivan’s 15 maximum breaks have occurred across how many tournaments?

7

Not 7

9

Correct.

World Championship
Welsh Open
Grand Prix
Scottish Open
Northern Ireland Trophy
UK Championship
Paul Hunter Classic
China Open
English Open

I also would have accepted 11 (LG Cup and World Open) but they were essentially a renamed Grand Prix so I’ve conflated them.

Wahooooo
