For questions 8 and 11, who is and isn't considered a "top 8 player"? Is Bingham a "top 8 player" because he is the first seed, even though he is 12th on the world ranking? Is Maguire (ninth seed, but world number 8) a top 8 player or not? And is Perry a top 8 player because he replaced 3rd seed Trump?
In my answers, I assumed that Bingham is considered a top 8 player, but Maguire and Perry are not, meaning there are effectively only seven top 8 players in the tournament.

Quote ( Jun Ho @ January 9th 2021,18:24:33 ) Joe Perry will be ranking 17, and Gary Wilson will be ranking 18 for Question 20.
Plus, I use their Masters seedings rather than actual world rankings, so Bingham is number 1 in regardes to Question 8, 11 and 20. Maguire will be number 9 rather than 8, and Perry/G Wilson will be 17th and 18th respectively.

QUESTION | Kyle Morris | Jun Ho | Jukka Sireni | Mikko Suhonen | Jasper Coosemans | | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | 2 | 3 | 0 | 3 | 3 | 3 | | 3 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | | 4 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | | 5 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | | 6 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | | 7 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | 8 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | 9 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | 10 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 1 | 3 | | 11 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | 12 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 2 | | 13 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | | 14 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | 15 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | 16 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | 17 | 1 | 5 | 3 | 3 | 5 | | 18 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | 19 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| TOTAL | 14 | 19 | 19 | 14 | 21 |
Jasper is in the slight lead with 21 points, over me and Jukka with 19 points after the first 19 questions, while Mikko and Kyle are behind on 14 points. It all comes down to the scores for Question 20 to see who is the Masters champion on GPRO.....

QUESTION 20:
The 20th question will be like previous snooker tournaments, where you are allowed to pick 4 players of your choice! There are no restrictions in what you want to pick. The scoring will be as follows:
- 5 points from every frame he wins the match by (so 6-2 gives 20 points)
- 16 + (his seeding - loser's seeding) (numbers next to them in the draw) (if greater than 0)
Kyle Morris | Jun Ho | Jukka Sireni | Mikko Suhonen | Jasper Coosemans | | Judd Trump (0) | Thepchaiya Un-Nooh (4) | Ronnie O'Sullivan (15) | Mark Selby (3) | Thepchaiya Un-Nooh (4) | | Mark Allen (5) | Ding Junhui (5) | Neil Robertson (5) | John Higgins (82) | Mark Selby (3) | | Thepchaiya Un-Nooh (4) | Neil Robertson (5) | Thepchaiya Un-Nooh (4) | Gary Wilson (2) | Kyren Wilson (29) | | Mark Selby (3) | Joe Perry (2) | David Gilbert (64) | Mark Williams (4) | Ronnie O'Sullivan (15) | | 12 points (26) | 16 points (35) | 88 points (107) | 91 points (105) | 51 points (72) |
And @Jukka Sireni (Ret) has won the Masters edition! Only two points separated Jukka and @Mikko Suhonen (M5) who managed to pick one of the finalists! @Jasper Coosemans (E) comes in 3rd place, while I finish 4th and @Kyle Morris (P3) finishes in 5th place.
Sorry for the delay in results! Next one would be the World Championship! See you then!
