Your 5 favourite tournaments

Postby Iranu » 04 Sep 2019 Read

What are your 5 favourite tournaments, past or present, in snooker?

This isn’t what you think are the biggest 5 tournaments, or the most prestigious or anything like that. Just your personal favourites.

Which tournaments do/did you enjoy the most?

In no particular order:

Tour Championship
Masters
Champion of Champions
Players Championship

The rest don't stand out all that much for me. Most of them are too long and/or feature too many Numpties.

I should have said “aside from the World Championship” because obviously that’s going to be in everyone’s top 5.

WC takes far too long, they need to change it, shorter formats work best, best of 3 should be the max. Hearn needs to grow some balls and make some proper changes for the future of the sport. I reckon shootout format for all tournemants, except WC which should be best of 3, would make it more exciting and get new players and fans involved.
