so its safe to say the likes of Hendry dont have to worry the only players playing in a seeded position is the top 4 of Ronnie,Maguire,Murphy and Williams everyone else is Random to some extent.

Theres £800,000 in total prize money for the players to fight for in the PTC
The players now have a full time "job" and will be playing far more than before
Theres no longer vast gaps in the snooker calendar
The European PTC events will help expand the games popularity abroad

Doesnt seem shady to me

Nugget Junior To Face Gould
Greg Davis, son of snooker legend Steve, is through to the last 128 of Players Tour Championship event one, having been handed a bye through the preliminary round.

Davis was due to play David Gray today in the all-amateur round, but Gray has withdrawn from the event.

The son off the six-times World Champion therefore goes through to play tomorrow against Martin Gould, who will be in action for the first time since his epic 13-12 defeat to eventual winner Neil Robertson at the Betfred.com World Snooker Championship.

Ejler Hame has also withdrawn, which means that Marc Davis goes through to play Fergal O'Brien.
