The draw for the World Snooker Championship is tomorrow which means it's time for the 4th annual Haven World Snooker Sweepstake!
Earl Purple won for the second time in three years last year when John Higgins beat Mark Selby in the final.
The rules are the same as before. You pick two numbers: ONE number between 1 and 16 and ONE number between 17 and 32.
Numbers 1 to 16 are the seeded players. Numbers 17 to 32 are the qualifiers. Recent years have shown that anyone is capable of reaching the final so don't be disheartened if you get someone you haven't heard of.
Good luck!
And can someone pick 2 numbers for me please?
