This year's championship. What's been your biggest let down ,Ronnie's early exit lack of crowds.

I was disappointed with Bingtao's showing. Expected him to play a lot better.

Ding losing to Bingham and Lisowski losing to Robertson, okay I know it was unlikely Jack was going to beat him but he was in the match for the first 2 sessions.

Just seems so easy for breakbuilding yet again. It seems once a player makes 20 then you know the frame will inevitably be over

All refs bar one being white males.
Leo Scullion continues to get the gig. Seriously, what has he got on the person who chooses the refs?

Yeah, only the one female official this year is pretty disappointing from World Snooker.
No idea why Tatiana was overlooked. I'm sure Leo is a nice guy but the sooner he retires the better. Maybe I don't notice him as much during the season but it feels like Jan only does the Worlds these days.

Should go back to heavier balls and cloth with a nap. Make it harder to open the reds.

Possibly covid travel restrictions.

Tatiana has another job and she’s said she can’t always take time off from that to ref in tournaments. Could be the same for others. I think almost no referees survive just on their reffing salary.

Cheers. That would explain it. Olivier has a second job (as is often mentioned) and would have to assume then that he isn't the only one.

Jan does seem to referee less. But he's Head Referee, so he's around still.

O Sullivan's poor showing. And I think the lack of new talent. Yan has time on his side and will continue to improve. But seems like there's nobody new is going to shake the game up any time soon

Only those who work directly for WST and WST only, and those are about 1% of all referees.

And biggest disappointment by far Ronnie losing early, should at the very least made the Semis with the draw he had, and maybe face Selby again like last year.
