Greg now plays Andy Hicks 9am 7th of August

If Geoff and Neal met was it a block buster of a match or a beta-block buster of a match.......

What is the point in entering then not turning up.

Mike Hallett who entered PTC4 was a no show this morning

Hallett

Clown you mean Pay £100 to enter having to win 3 matches to get any money back and he did not try

you got to hand it to Janie Watkins and Global for making the journey up to sheffield for this weekend with no hope to see any Professional Superstars maybee a glimpse of Tony Knowles will be enough dont know but for all results including a win for a Michael Wild (no i havent sponsored him ) see http://www.global-snooker.com/2010-Play ... esults.asp

Just noticed it but Tian Pengfei of course had to give PTC4 (and probably also PTC3 although I did not check) a miss because the clash with BTV. This of course is because the dates for the amateurs preliminary round were changed ... There are a lot of w/o; I presume - going by the names of mising players - many of them were involved in the six-red champs. Shame really.

yes very unfortunally for him but he will have gained a lot of confidence from here to carry him on for the paul hunter classic.

On the flipside its a good thing that theres now so many different tournaments, invitationals etc taking place that mean there are clashes of events. Snookers now becoming in line with other sports who have numerous events taking place simultaneously over the world where the players pick and chose what they play in.

its only the beginning but 12 months ago players was twiddling their thumbs wandering when they play next.

PTC 4 qualifiers is coming to a end with 4 matches to be completed

Kamran Ashraf v David Portman
Tony Knowles v Lee Page
Ian Glover v Jeff Cundy
Shaun Parkes v Lucky Vatnani

for all Results http://www.global-snooker.com/2010-Play ... esults.asp

the biggest shock of the day was Andrew Norman losing 4-3 to Chen Zhe...

Lee Page defeated Tony Knowles 4-1 in a day there was 11 walkover trust tony to have a player that turned up

If the players are revolting, that's a bit worrying. This tournament is wholly for them, it's not as if the fans have anything to get excited about, so it's pretty disappointing that some players don't even give a sh*t.

no its far simpler than that ....

these quals was re arranged from thursday before the event like the other 2 PTC to this weekend players got prior engagements especially pengfei he was in china lol

its not a matter of not giving a rubbish if they pull out they lose £100 but proberbly with these this weekend they will get their money back if they got a good enough reason.

£100, big deal.

they Amateurs maybe you can throw money about like confetti but i know people that cant

Bourne wrote:£100, big deal.

Exactly, the tournaments i play in once a month are £300 a head to enter.

yes but point is how many people can afford it and not turning up........so its not a revolt as bourne suggested but they have something on

If these tournaments are as important as you have been trying to make out they are, then these players will be doing their utmost to enter them, to revolve their season around these tournaments.

Many of the missing ones were in Thailand or China (6-reds wc or BTV) don't forget the dates were changed

'Many' isn't all ...

Bourne wrote:'Many' isn't all ...

They Amateurs Mate it could be they couldn't get to sheffield today due to work commitments etc

they might have been on Holiday theres so much things to take in to consideration when dates change.

Well whatever, it still sends out a bad message if the actual 'stars' can't even make it. Poor organisation.

BTW

ive said they are important for the Pros not Amataurs .

Most Amateurs that enter losing cash because you got to reach last 64 to make any money so not good when you draw Ronnie or selby in last 128.

That's why I put it in inverted commas, the players are the stars because they're the only ones in the f*cking thing. When players aren't turning up, then it's not even a snooker match let alone a spectacle.

however not organising qualifiers properly was poor but they are not on the main tour so anything they get from the PTC is a bonus they wouldnt have got ever before.
