Joining the debate late on this but I'll leave this here - If you want to have a fluke in the World Championship Prediction Contest then how can it not come from the fact that someone has managed to win this prediction contest twice, and on both occasions has managed to do it with the World Championships lowest ever winning score?

This thread is being locked this evening whilst maximum possible scores are being calculated.
Once the scores have been updated the template will be posted with the request that anyone with a chance of winning messages their predictions to me to ensure fair play. The thread will then be unlocked for final predictions. I'm out this evening so this might be late.

Many thanks to all for their patience. Here is the latest scoreboard at the conclusion of the Semi-Finals. This table includes six points awarded to entries which predicted Judd Trump to reach the World Championship Final at the start of the contest. These entries will receive a further six points should Trump win the Final.
The maximum possible score for all entries has been calculated based upon what finalists they have left, whether they have a predicted maximum still going (one entry for Higgins) and the number of centuries, and the highest break of the event. (Nobody predicted either Trump or Higgins to make the highest break)
Can those entries with an asterix* next to their name, please PM their predictions for the Final, this ensures that you don't have a situation where the leader can just predict the same score as those nearby to nurse their lead. I appreciate that I am one of those with a mathematical chance of winning so therefore I will PM my prediction to Wildey and Eraserhead immediately to ensure I can't predict knowing what people are going for.
Table at the Conclusion of the Semi-Finals
176 SteveJJ* 23 - 2 (Max) 194
