In a couple of days we will see the final Eurotour of 2007.
There is normally a prize of 1500 euros for whoever leads the rankings after this next match.
Anyone any ideas who it could be??????

Would be nice to see a Brit do it, i think after the Worlds my mooney has to be on Daryl (although after realising that Daryl is losing a lot of points from last years event my money has changed to Mark Grey) [ This message was edited by: Ads on 2007-12-06 08:09 ]

Gray, Majid and Peach are all in the running but it ain´t gonna be easy!!
Stepanov, Alcaide and Souquet are also front runners.

its going to go down to the wire. it would be good to see Mark Gray win it from the Brits, as it looked as though he didnt have a sniff before Switzerland

It looks like a 7 horse race with a couple more slim outsiders if any of those 7 fail to reach the qtr-finals.
The 7 in contention (with pts diff to nearest challenger):-
Stepanov (+25)
Gray (+60)
Majid (+20)
Alcaide (+25)
Souquet (+5)
Peach (+75)
Vassalos (+25)
The 4 others who have slim chance if those 7 fail to reach the qtrs are:-
Van Den Berg (level with Foldes)
Foldes (+15)
Reimering (+15)
Engert
So Stepanov has a slight advantage over Gray going into the last event with Majid close behind, although to make up the difference in points, they must reach at least the last 16 to have a glimmer.
Would you make all that correct Malaguista?

With Mark Gray only needing 260 points to be level with Stephanov, as he has missed two of the 7 tournaments listed, so he would have no scores deducted as it is the best 6 of 7 results from what i gather, i think my money would have to be on him.

Yes that is a pretty good analysis, Devil but I look at it from a different angle to you
Its too close to call but this is how the front runners stand at the moment before playing Malaga.
I have deducted the points from Malaga 2006 and have not yet deducted the worst score that each player has
STEPANOV Konstantin 2135
MAJID Imran 2035
ALCAIDE David 2030
SOUQUET Ralf 1990
PEACH Daryl 1985
VAN DEN BERG Nick 1900
REIMERING Christian 1885
GRAY Mark 1875
FOLDES Vilmos 1865
ENGERT Thomas 1855
FEIJEN Niels 1845
ORTMANN Oliver 1775
TRAJDOS Wojciech 1730
TSCHUDI Marco 1725
MURATORE Bruno 1710
VASSALOS John 1690
FAZANES Antonio 1680
HYBLER Roman 1665
FULCHER Jonni 1655
KAPLAN Thomasz 1615
This really is too complicated to predict because anything can happen and probably will.
Gray has to be fancied because his lowest score is 0 therefore whatever he scores in Spain will be added to the 1875 points that he already has with no deductions.

Ooops! That's hilarious... When I made the poll, I naturally took the top eight provisionally ranked players, but it seems like Mark could be the favourite to take it, and he's not even an option on the poll!!! These polls slurp!  -----------------  Authorised Pro9 forum advertiser/sponsor

Yes Peter, I have taken the last 6 events points and deducted the lowest score and this is why Mark Gray is just behind Stepanov by 25pts.
It is very hard to predict but anyone from the top 11 could be No1 depending on other results going their way but the ones listed above (top 7) are firm favs.
If Stepanov fails to reach the last 32 then it's wide open for the chasing pack.

I actually think Mark grey must be favourite after his performace in the last eurotour event, and the fact he is 12th place with only 5 tournaments played. My money is definatly on him

I think there's going to be a record turn-out for this event, does anyone know the precise number of UK entries?
