Winner: Igor Figueiredo

I'll try my best and update the opening post with all the events and qualifying structures throughout the season again.

Thank you! It threw me that this took place before the play offs of the previous edition!

Well done Igor

Middle East Q Tour 1 starts Tuesday. Host nation of Bahrain is well represented with the the rest of the field mostly made up of Iraqis, Kuwaitis, Egyptians, Libyans, a Turk and a player from the UAE.

Who will put themselves in a good position before some of the failed Asia q schoolers presumably enter the other events?

QF Line up

Habib Humood wins the event! Beats Ismael Turker 4-1 in the final

Well done to Ali Gharahgozlou for winning Middle East Event 2!

Well done Vinnie Calabrese. Won the last 4 regional QTour events now

Andres Petrov wins the first Europe event.

Zhao Xintong has entered Event 2.

Hard to believe Zhao Xintong won the German Masters in 2022 beating both Mark Williams and Judd Trump on Route then was suspended from WST and has lost his pro status for obvious reasons, but today he starts his comeback to the pro ranks playing Vilius Schulte-Ebbert of Lithuania at about 11am BST

Russian Arsenii Korolev was drawn against Ukrainian opponents in the two qualifying rounds. They have both withdrawn, giving him a bye through to the first round, where he plays another Ukrainian, Iulian Boiko.
It'll be interesting to see if Boiko plays or withdraws.

Xintong wins his first game! Has Zac Cosker of Wales next

Xintong beats Cosker 3-1. Next has Craig Steadman tomorrow

Looks like Xintong had breaks of 127 and 124 v Cosker.

Is there any way of watching this?

Steadman beats Xintong 4-3
