Only thing is it's best of 9 - so thats 5 best of 9's in China....

With all the best of 9 around, it just reminds us that there's nothing like the World Championship with multiple session snooker.

I would have loved to see Dott play Higgins tonight ...

but the way things are going, if though Bazza says otherwise... one day the Worlds will have it's format shortned too.. like best of 11s UK... if that unthinkable thing happens one day, I'll quit watching this sport...

Just hope the Worlds remain as it is for ever and ever.

Yeah. I don't where Hearn got the idea that short frame matches are more popular. Everyone seems to prefer the UK when it was longer and enjoy the Worlds more than anything else on the snooker calender.
