Monday 4th - Sunday 10th of March at The Guild Hall, Preston

To Qualify for the Players Championship there was 14 tournaments Ranging from the UK Championship at the top end to the Very Bottom of the Shoot Out. As it turnd out the Shoot out had no bearing on the 16 players taking part in Preston.

As well as the individual tournaments that makes up the Coral series this year theres an additional Cup to the player that has performed the best over the 3 tournaments and if anyone was to win all 3 a extra £125,000 to make it a cool £500,000 from the series.

Judd Trump having won the World Grand Prix is toping the list and the only player in the hunt for the £125,000.

Big name absentees are Ding Junhui and Shaun Murphy who reached the final last year before losing 10-4 to Ronnie O'Sullivan.

Who will reach the Quarter Finals?

I didnt know about the prize for winning all 3 events Wild...

Fair to say there's much more of a chance this happening than winning all 4 Home Events.

I guess the bonus for winning all 3 wont count towards ranking.

He has to make a statement after that Masters thrashing.


What you talking about? Ronnie's safely inside the Top 8 and therefore will play the Tour Champs.

Mathematicly the lowest Ronnie can get is 7th and that will mean Bingham winning Gibralter and India and Lisowski winning In Preston pushing Gilbert and Wilson out

MDG is still worried he won't make the top-8.

He thinks the laws of mathematics will change, to mean that the person ranked 7th is no longer in the top-8.

Tense times for Ronnie.
