FANTASY SNOOKER UPDATE: Indian points and World Open info

Here we are again with a short turnaround between the end of the Indian Open on Saturday and the start of the World Open on Monday. John Higgins was the winner out in India and plenty of players benefited from that, such was the popularity of his pick. A couple of people had a season pick on first time ranking quarter-finalist Zhang Anda so they pick up some handy bonus points.

Here's how the table looks after the second round: (IO= Indian Open round points - excluding beat the boss points which are added separately. PPS= Players previously selected)

The World Open starts in the early hours in the UK making the deadline MONDAY 18TH SEPTEMBER at 2.30AM UK TIME for all World Open picks. Not long to go so get picking. Don't forget you can only pick the same player three times through the season and that now might be a good time to use one of your Captain's picks for double points on a selected player. Enter your picks via Twitter in the usual ways. 

My beat the boss picks (as tweeted a couple of days ago) are Mark Williams and Marco Fu 

All the best!
