I've decided I want to do this before the draw takes place.
It's a sweepstake for the World Snooker Championship!
We need 15 players, plus me.
To take part, just pick TWO numbers. ONE between 1 and 16 for a seeded player and ONE between 17 and 32 for a qualifier.
Ronnie O'Sullivan is the favourite, but there could be as many as 8 past winners in the tournament so he won't have it all his own way.
Get picking now and good luck!
1. John Higgins (Subhuman) 2. David Gray (HomesPlace) 3. Steve Davis (Frag) 4. Alan McManus (Dandy) 5. Jimmy White (Dj) 6. Mark Williams (Spud) 7. Graeme Dott (kristofferson) 8. Ronnie O'Sullivan (Arcadia Foxx) 9. Chris Small (misterhamster) 10. Ken Doherty (Earl Purple) 11. Marco Fu (andy) 12. Paul Hunter (Hullboy) 13. Stephen Lee (Robin) 14. Stephen Hendry (greendemon) 15. Peter Ebdon (Mark) 16. Matthew Stevens (ManicK) 17. Barry Pinches (ManicK) 18. Quinten Hann (Dj) 19. Shaun Murphy (Earl Purple) 20. Anthony Hamilton (Subhuman) 21. Ian McCulloch (greendemon) 22. Robert Milkins (kristofferson) 23. Neil Robertson (Arcadia Foxx) 24. Fergal O'Brien (Robin) 25. Andy Hicks (Spud) 26. Michael Holt (Dandy) 27. Stephen Maguire (Frag) 28. Drew Henry (Mark) 29. Tony Drago (HomesPlace) 30. Gerard Greene (misterhamster) 31. Ali Carter (andy) 32. Mark Selby (Hullboy)

Yeah... but Alan McManus? Twice semi-finalist! His career does seem to be in decline now, though. Stuart Bingham is a former World amateur champion...
