It’s impressive that they’ve been able to clear the ITV4 schedule, clearing ITV1 would presumably be very expensive.

If snooker.org is correct the group winner will be decided by points, or if tied by most frames won, if still tied by fewest frames lost, and if still tied by ranking.

This will necessitate all 4 frames of each match be completed which is great.

I have little doubt that this is correct but I'm wondering if anyone can confirm this.

The order of play was announced earlier today, I think it is on matchroom.live

I don't know exactly what the rules are, but it could be that two players are tied on 7 pts, but one of them won his earlier matches 3-0 rather than 3-1, so gets a better frame difference.


Personally, I'd prefer them to play all 4 frames, and then the group is decided by the one who won the most frames. This '3 points for a win' looks just like a gimmick - 4 frames is not much of a 'match'.

• GROUP MATCHES from June 1st to 8th will feature 16 groups of four players, with two groups played each day across two tables. The player who tops each group table will progress to Phase Two. Players will be awarded three points for a win and one point for a drawn match.
