Did I miss something in my absence? Has Belfast become a city of Ireland?

[The Statman]

Congratulations Lindea. They are indeed the players who have won a ranking tournament on the Emerald Isle: Mark J. Williams in the Irish Open in 1998; Ronnie O'Sullivan in the Irish Masters in 2003 and 2005 and Peter Ebdon in 2004; and of course now Ding Junhui.

So here is the scoreboard after Round 61:

ROUND SIXTY-TWO

Anyone?

What is the lowest highest break in a Crucible match, of a player who won that match?

You will get no extra points but lots of appreciation if you also say who it was, who his opponent was and in which year.[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]

[PaulTheSoave]

Oops! I dont think Ian Paisley would like your answer, Lindea

[Lindea]

They are the only ones to win an Irish Ranking tournament?

[hegeland]

Won the China Open? I know Mark has done it twice, 2001 and 2006.

Edit: but not Peter Ebdon, though!

[The Statman]

NOT the correct answer.

Are these the only players who have won the U21? Surely not?

[PaulTheSoave]

under 21 world champion. easy one, this one!

[The Statman]

Nothing to do with who they beat, just what they won.

[JPK123]

Win a ranking tournament and then fail to qualify for the next?

[Cessy143]

In winning a ranking tournament, these players managed to beat 3 of the top 4 provisionally ranked players on the way to the title. (In winning the NI trophy, Ding beat Higgins, Doherty and O'Sullivan)

??

[The Statman]

ROUND SIXTY-ONE

What connects: Peter Ebdon, Mark J. Williams, Ronnie O'Sullivan and Ding Junuhi, and no others?

One of the players above has done this thing twice, the others once each, and it applies to no other player.

[Cessy143]

34

Unbelievable to think that in 15 frames, Eddie only managed a 34 break. Players get criticised these days if they don't make a ton in as many frames, how times have changed eh.

[davis_greatest]

Round 61: is the answer 34?

[The Statman]

Oh bum. I didn't mean to do that. Must be careful when quoting posts, to delete the bits you don't want!
