David Causier of England claimed the top-seed slot for timed format knockouts achieving highest average of 1120.25 at the end of round robin stage. He scored total 5173 points in favour and gave away only 692. The defending champion, Peter Gilchrist followed him with an average of 954.50.
The second session of today had a house pack audience on centre table of Northern Snooker Centre to witness an exciting match between Pankaj Advani and Rob Hall. The spectators had no disappointment as both the players exhibited their best and entertained everyone with a very high quality contest. However, one had to win and Advani did but both the cueists deserved to be acknowledged as winners in the virtual land.
