Last 128 Wednesday 31st of May- Friday 2nd of June at the Guild Hall, Preston
Main StageFriday 23rd- Sunday 25th of June at the Arena Riga, Latvia

Neil Robertson got off to a flying start last season with a win in Riga but it was his one high of a disastrous season for the 2010 World Champion he will be hoping for better this season.

Neil will be defending the title against the likes of 3 times World Champion Mark Selby however both Robertson and Selby wont be in action in preston their matches are carried forward to the latvia in late june.

Barry Hawkins, Shaun Murphy, Stuart Bingham, Mark Allen, Kyren Wilson, Mark Williams and Stephen Maguire are among the Players taking part but some notable names Missing Ronnie O'Sullivan, Judd Trump, Ding Junhui and John Higgins sitting the opener out.

Who will get the campaign off to a flyer?

Would be nice if Ken would get a good start for the upcoming season. But it is still a very early days even after a first few tournaments. He should be patient. If he is not that even I can´t help him then lol.. rofl

I've seen people complaining on Twitter. It's too soon, apparently.

Really?! - it's not like football where the players need a break or the weather gets bad. You can't get enough snooker. I guess its because I remember the dark days when we had 6 tournaments a year and the wait was torturous.

I'm struggling to get this on Eurosport Player. Anyone else having better luck? Mine keeps defaulting to the tennis when I click on the snooker on the schedule.

Yeah, from supposed fans as well.

It's not a criticism I particularly understand. I mean, I understand that we all have lives and other stuff going on. Nobody will be able to watch everything. Fair enough.

But, why complain that a tournament exists, just because you don't have time to watch it, or chose to give one tournament a miss?

Surely, it's better to be offered the choice. Better that, than what we had a few years back, where we could barely watch snooker if we wanted to.

You never hear tennis fans complain that there's too much tennis on, do you?

yea if the rain is snake hissing down the wind gets up and your bored in the house lets watch snooker.


i wont have time to watch much of the snooker this week but i can still drift in and out and keep updated on what happens when i have time its all good why complain ffs

however on another matter not having the governing body take much of a notice and cocking up that its not on eurosport this morning making no comment on it is a bucking disgrace and embarrassing
