Other well-known names such as Robert Thornton (2 points), Diogo Portela (2 points), Richie Burnett (2 points) Colin Osborne (2 points), Chas Barstow (1 point) and Andy Jenkins (1 point) are now also in contention.

John Part, Alan Norris and Fallon Sherrock, among others, are still scoreless and have to work for the next two days.

Compared to the European equivalent, the UK edition is only one First Stage with no groups and the last eight everyday will reach the Final Stage.

If that doesn't work, players have to make sure that as many points as possible are won. Each win in a full round (without byes) is worth a point.
