Fantasy Snooker League 2015/2016

After a successful trial from the beginning of the year at the Masters in January to the season ending World Championships, the Cue Action Blog Fantasy Snooker League has returned and this time it will run from this week’s first ranking event of the season in Bendigo at the Australian Open, all the way up until the conclusion once again at the Crucible Theatre in May.

Last season’s winner was Andrew Brooker and the question is who will win this year? Entering is simple. Just get in contact through the usual ways on Twitter @CueActionBlog and tweet me your picks prior to every event after the events have been priced up.

Last time around the system seemed to work well so I’ll be keeping it the same as that with the deadline for picks being before the first match of each tournament and with the players being priced up in the same way as previously by seeding at the time of the tournament draw being made. You will also still be given 8 million to pick two players for every event with points also working in a similar way and the UK Championships, Masters and World Championships counting double.

Points Scoring System:

-          Match Win: 5 points
-          Match Win by 3 frames or better (5-2, 4-1, etc): 2 bonus points
-          Player Century: 2 points
-          147 break by player: 5 bonus points
-          Semi-Finallist: 2 points
-          Runner-Up  5 points
-          Tournament Winner: 10 points

First up as I say is the Australian Open so here are the players:

I will also be trying throughout the season to find someone to sponsor a prize worthy of giving out to this seasons winner, to make it an even more exciting league. Enjoy your tipping!!
