What's the furthest anyone has got in a tourny without playing a game? Has anyone won one?

I got to the semis of a US 8 ball with a bye and something like 3 or 4 players not turning up or being offline. When I finally played a game I got beat 2-0, meaning I went out in a semi-final without winning a single frame in the tournament.

Can anybody do worse than that?

Nobody's gonna admit to this are they?

Someone out there has just the one tourny, and there's no way they're gonna say "actually, I didn't play any games at all, and I was in the bath when I won it."

back in the good old days of test tourneys, in one of them i played the 1st rnd game. Then server went a bit mad. Then I got an invite to a game against Nicknax where he told me it was the final lol. A few minutes and a 2-0 beating later i'd won my 1st tourney.

Yep think server flopping is only way someone wins a tourn without playing a game. Can be lucky with the draw but to not get a game seems too-perfect

I got a bye into the semis before, then the server went mad and i think i was the only 1 who didn't get logged out

The semis was a bye against evilhamster and the final was a bye against phase
