Viking's Snooker Elo Ratings

I don’t even know who to praise, so many great performances today. Two maximums and several players with two centuries but for me Slessor stood out with four 70+ breaks. He’s clearly gained confidence lately but can he establish himself as a true title contender?
#snooker #XianGP

Maximum No. 12 of the season and No. 229 all-time!
Judd Trump does it again, his 9th career 147!
Brilliant!!
Last season’s record will fall very soon.

I don't think so, Whaley has his own CueTracker page with some matches from 2015.

There was also a season opener in Leicester, where the Hussain brothers faced each other in the final. Can they become professionals in the near future?
#snooker

The EPSB Open Series season kicked off yesterday in Oldham, with Daniel Womersley winning the first event after defeating Simon Blackwell in the final. Michael Whaley played his first proper tournament after a 10-year absence.
#snooker

Some interesting names on this list, but as you can see, Trump and Zhao are in their own league.
(Only professional tournaments, Q-School excluded)

After the #InternationalChampionship qualifiers, here’s how the top 16 looks. Joe O'Connor down to 14th, Luca Brecel drops out, while Elliot Slessor is in for the first time ever after his 6-2 win over Alex Ursenbacher yesterday.
#snooker #147sf

All the favorites won comfortably.
Jones and Brown are in big danger!
He Guoqiang made four 80+, Wells made two centuries but Gary Wilson stole the show with the 11th 147 of the season!
Now 4 days off before we head to China for the Xi’an GP.
#snooker #InternationalChampionship

The 11th maximum of the season, Gary Wilson’s 6th 147! A magnificent way to finish a match!

Sorted by Frame Rate (FW)

Sorted by Frame Rate (FP)

The official rankings use a 2-year rolling system, so I thought why not make a 2-year rolling 70+ break list?
Here it is:
#snooker #147sf

Only 13 matches to play today.
Brown and Jones are heavy underdogs despite being higher in the official rankings. Their Tour Cards are in danger, Brown is just 1,500 points above the line on the EoS rankings and Jones isn’t far ahead.
Can they win?
#snooker #InternationalChampionship

Down to the last 16 at the 2nd #QTour event in Austria! Plenty of familiar names — ex-pros like Peter Lines and Andrew Higginson but also the new generation: 15 y.o. Krzysztof Czapnik and 19 y.o. Oliver Sykes.
#snooker

What a week for Anthony McGill!
At the start of the season I wasn’t sure he could even save his tour card. Now he’s in a provisional World Grand Prix spot and completely safe.
#snooker #BritishOpen

Petibohóc 🤡🤡

My prediction for the rest of the tournament is here.
The field looks polarized as 8 players have under 2% chance and six have over 9%.
But who will lift the trophy?
#snooker #BritishOpen

The first Q Tour event in the Middle East ended with a win for Egyptian ex-pro Mostafa Dorgham. Can he get back on the Main Tour?

Event 2 starts today with 59 players chasing victory.
#QTour #MiddleEast

Zhao Xintong is out of the British Open after a 4–2 defeat to John Higgins.
All the other big names advanced, but I have to highlight one young man, Liam Davies, who beat David Lilley to equal his career-best run — Last 16.
#snooker #BritishOpen

12 matches left in Round 2, can the underdogs cause a headache? Can Mertens jump back into the provisional EoS top 64?
#snooker #BritishOpen

A big step toward saving his tour card for Antoni Kowalski as he beat Robert Milkins in style.
Stan Moody showed his class again with a 4–2 win over Kyren Wilson.
John Higgins survived another decider, this time with a 132 break to advance.
#snooker #BritishOpen

With a record 60 entries, the Q Tour season in the Middle East is underway.
Who will win the first event — ex-pro Mostafa Dorgham, 2024 IBSF Mongolia World Cup champion Ali Gharahgozlou, or someone else?
#snooker #qtour #MiddleEast

Of course I can 😉

Higgins, Zhao and Zhang had a tough time but made it through along with ALL the favorites. 16 matches, best of 7, and every favorite advanced. Don’t think I’ve ever seen that before.
Kyren Wilson made his 19th 140+ break, his first in the British Open.
#snooker #BritishOpen

No time to rest, the British Open is here!
Today we’ve got the held-over qualifier(Round 1) matches with the top names in action. Expect a few whitewashes for sure.
#snooker #BritishOpen #sf147

Judd’s scoring might be below his usual standard, but he still tops the rating list. Allen is up to 11th, Zhou 18th, Jones 24th, Hill 25th.
But does Trump really deserve to be No. 1, what do you think?
#snooker #sf147

Ali Carter takes the lead once again in the 70+ breaks list.
Mark Selby has climbed to 4th after some high-scoring matches, but still no Trump and no Ding in the top 16, their scoring is pretty weak this season.
#snooker #sf147

I think our champion, Mark Allen loves the long route, he played 56 of a possible 58 frames(96.6%)! He beat Scott Donaldson 4–1 in the Last 64, but every match after that went to a decider. I should double-check, but I think this 96.6% is a record in Home Nations events.
#snooker #EnglishOpen #sf147

Who will lift the Steve Davis Trophy?
#snooker #sf147 #EnglishOpen

Every single frame from every professional tournament since 1972 with a scoresheet on CueTracker is counted. Marco Fu is on the list — he’s just knocked out Jimmy White, who has 1287 big breaks.
