The group stages are coming to a conclusion. The following assumes it's the top 4 in each group that goes through, although I've been unable to confirm this. Also not sure whether frame difference is counted before or after head-to-head - I'm assuming before.
Large numbers of players have guaranteed themselves a place, although only a couple have completed all their games.
In Group A, Patrick Einsle (GER), Shay Arama (ISR), Marcin Nitschke (POL) and Simon Zammit (MLT) are all through to the knockout stages.
In Group D Scott Donaldson (SCO), Robert Murphy (IRE), Lee Walker (WAL) and Sergiy Isayenko (UKR) are all through.
In Group E Michael Leslie (SCO), Kristján Helgason (ICE), Andreass Ploner (AUT) and Roy Fernandez (ISR) are all through.
In Group B Alex Borg (MLT), Martin McCrudden (IRE) and Maurice Le Duc (NTL) are through to the knockout stages, Paul Schopf (AUT) needs 2 frames in his match with Paulo Pereira (who has only one win) to also progress - match 3pm today.
In Group C Vincent Muldoon (IRE), Adam Duffy (ENG) and Krzysztof Wróbel (POL) are through, Georgi Velichkov (BUL) needs a 4 frame 'frame difference' swing compared to Yvan van Velthoven or Van Velthoven goes through. Velichkov plays Adam Duffy, Van Velthoven plays Krzysztof Wróbel (both matches at 3pm today).
In Group F Kevin van Hove (BEL), Roy Stolk (NTL) and Michał Zieliński (POL) are through. The final spot is between Mor Mezrhel (ISR) (plays Roy Stolk 5.30 today) and Ivailo Pekov (BUL)(plays Denis Cretu tomorrow at 8 am). Mezrhei guaranteed through with a 4-2 win, if Mezrhei loses Pekov is through with a win.
In Group G Bobby Cruickshanks (SCO), Lasse Münstermann (GER) and Anthony Brabin (CYP) are through, the remaining place probably goes to the winner of Joris Maas (NTL) against Rafał Górecki (POL) at 12.30 pm today - live streaming on table 4 (Górecki can't be caught if he wins, possible for Maas to win and still not get through).
And then there's Group H:
Martin O'Donnell (ENG) is through, Daniel Wells (WAL) almost certainly joins him - as far as I can work out, he's through with one frame in either of his last 2 matches. Rune Kampe (DEN) is guaranteed a spot by beating winless Valentin Militaru at 12.30 pm today.
Ivailo Simeonov (BUL) has to beat Rene van Rijsbergen (NTL) at 12.30 today (live streaming - table 10) and beat Wells at 8 am tomorrow to possibly go through, van Rijsbergen is through with a win.
Lukáš Křenek (CZE) needs to beat Martin O'Donnell at 12.30 today, and have help elsewhere to go through - Simeonov beating van Rijsbergen but losing to Wells, or winning both by only narrow margins helps Křenek , or Valentin Militaru beating Rune Kampe.
Also, interesting to note Einsle and Münstermann are both losing 2-0 at the moment - perhaps early matches don't suit them?
