Some pre-emptive projections

These are given as is, and will obviously not take into account the quarter finals:

Semis:

Lukeman v Wade (43), v van Duijvenbode (22)

Anderson v Wade (75), v van Duijvenbode (55)

Wright v Woodhouse (61), v Smith (55)

Gilding v Woodhouse (56) , v Smith (50)

Final:

Lukeman v Wright (31), Gilding (36), Woodhouse (41), Smith (35)

Anderson v Wright (67), Gilding (71), Woodhouse (77), Smith (71)

Wade v Wright (38), Gilding (43), Woodhouse (49), Smith (42)

van Duijvenbode v Wright (63), Gilding (67), Woodhouse (73), Smith (67)

So, by the looks of things, the winner looks like it is going to come from the top half, and it's likely to be whoever comes through the probable semi final of Ando and DvD. Will Dirk finally get his first Euro Tour? He's probably not going to get a better chance than this. Should also be noted that in all of these stats, Wade's form drops like a stone off a cliff once you get into the three and six month statlines, it's only what's still in the database from October backwards that is keeping the numbers you see quite as "good" as they are.
