Re: UK short matches vs television coverage

For other smaller tournaments im not overly fussed, however some on here are almost in tears that PTCs arent screened live on TV, yet are happy to sacrifice 40% of the UK Champs..........
No, this is the point, we're kind of stuck in between a rock and a hard place, we have to sacrifice something.
No one is saying with a tournament this important, some matches shouldn't be televised. They should. But it's one of the few longer frame tournaments left, so it also seems a shame to take them down to best of 11. Or at least, that's what I feel.
I do wonder if there's a way of getting the four matches televised. Assumedly, if there was a way, they'd have done it a long time ago. But, there must be a way round it. It's hard to believe that in this day and age where a person can film on their mobile phone, you can't at least set up a small camera in each cubicle and stream it on the internet, if nothing else.
