And I tell you what, he'd have had a shout at getting to the Crucible. Straight up.

so basicly any ex pro could have entered the Pre Qualifiers then ?

but most dont know about it <doh> <doh>

seriously the WPBSA Needs a good kicking they cant advertise rubbish to a sewage works..

Your analogies have been quite weak lately. I don't think sewage works go out and purchase rubbish off of people. It just gets flushed down there.

Why would you need to advertise rubbish to a sewage work? They provide the rubbish.

Now you can see what Kyren said it's obvious that there's a fee to pay to remain a member of World Snooker and it means you can't enter amateur events which obviously leads to a lot of retired ex-pros being able to enter the Worlds but not the talent that's been there, dropped off and is bursting to get back onto the main tour.

What exactly is an "amateur" event?
I suppose they are allowed to enter pro-ams (as pros), but what about the snookerbacker classic for instance (David Gray entered it) ?

Amazing how he's playing so well, with no match practise since September. Ashamed to say I forgot how well Igor could play, as I didn't catch much of the Brazilian Masters. A travesty that he can't afford to come to UK more often.
