Tour Championship: superior to the UK Championship?

I know it is. Agree? You should.

Unequivocally yes.

Could do with sorting out the not all quarter finals on TV issue.

Personally, I'd like 16 players rather than 8 as well.

the multi session format is great but you only have 8 players participating in the tournament which is a big weak point. If it was 32 at least I'd put it above the UK.

This.

Top 8 guarantees you good matches. You don’t get mugs like Ford and O’Donnell giving easy draws and ruining the tournament

I didn’t watch snooker when the UK had its old format, and given its prestige I always did find it hard to understand why it was shortened so much, so with that in mind I have to say the TC takes it for me. Been an amazing event so far this week, helped by ITV’s flawless coverage. The longer matches are a real treat for me, as my only exposure to them has been the WC the last 5 years.

With regards to coverage, when I first started following snooker I couldn’t watch anything except the BBC’s coverage due to all of the familiar faces from the bits and pieces of snooker that I used to watch from my child hood, plus it was the BBC, now though it’s in 3rd place behind ES and ITV.
