Mark Williams played Poorly Tonight but came away with 6 Frames=6 Points and is second Behind Fellow Welshman in The Table.

TBH i came into this season with high hopes that this format was just the revolution the PL needed to become the second best exho in the game, but I ain't so sure now, I think there's too many competitors, the points system is fair but still not ideal, I still think they've been a bit too middle-of-the-road how they've gone about the shot clock and these extensions and what have you, if you're gona have a shot clock event make it 100% shot clock and no bucking about ... they do away with the extensions in the shootout frames so why not the rest of it <doh>

snooker is snooker the simplicity of it what makes it work.

if they put in a shot clock that all thats needed.....infact the ball in hand rule ruined the shootout frame tonight.

Look, the Premier League was grand with a 25 second shot clock. I didn't agree with time extensions, and I still don't agree with them now. I didn't watch any of this, and I don't plan to, but from what I've read of the rules, it has been spoiled by overcomplicating the whole thing, with changing time limits, time extensions... etc.

I don't have a problem with the shotclock. It's not my cup of tea, but I'm pretty lax about it being used in certain events, I think it's at least a variation which is not necessarily a bad thing, and I don't even mind it being used in ONE ranking event. But this is overcomplicated, simple as that. The Premier League was never anything special, but it was a nice tournament and something to watch on a boring Thursday evening... it can go buck itself now.

i think the PL is just a nuisance in this clogged up calendar and stops us having a full ranker from Shanghai till the UK. Id rather see the PL prize money put into either a full ranker shown on Sky or a Masters style elite/invitational tournament given the Sky razzmattaz treatment similar to the way Eurosport did with that Mita Masters.

I certainly wouldn't miss it. Though there are some who think of it as the fourth major. Or is that just the Sky commentators and Seifer? :-D

This new format is crap, let's not beat around the bush. I'm a Mark Williams fan and I couldn't give a damn if he won the final last night or not.

Ignore him Bourne. He's just a Ronnie lovah. He's particularly inoffensive if you let him get on with it. His boxing predictions are always spot on though. :D

Just kidding, hitman. :emb:
