The World Championship Qualifiers, whilst not being a tournament in itself, is better than most tournaments on the calendar:

The tension, pressure around is just second to none! I'll be watching it as much I can.

I've always said it's the second best event on the calendar.

How come Matthew Stevens' section is tough and Matt Selt's is easy?

Edit: Actually Selt has got Xiao Guodong so maybe it isn't that easy but its still the easiest section,

Ebdon will need to defeat Ryan Day if he wants to be in with a chance of a crucible return.

I'd rather have Ryan Day anyway.

The Final Qualifying round is possibly my best Round of the Season behind the World Final.
