Brandt Snedeker for the Masters is a bold prediction. Especially as at world number 745 he's extraordinarily unlikely even to be invited to play.

[Sporting]

Is there a deadline for this?

Trump- Snooker
Storm out- before they are back in Bad Enoch- Shadow Foreign

We'll see about the likely interest first - added the Six Nations and Le Tour to bump up the categories to a round 20, two points on offer for each correct prediction. If posters wish to proffer other interesting suggestions, 25 categories could also work for arithmetic purposes.

I am interested, but wish you had picked a different contest to lead with.
