Monday 1st - Thursday 11th of June at The Marshall Arena, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire

77 Days since Judd Trump won his 6th Ranking event of the season in Gibralter and Snooker is back with a New Format Championship league from milton keynes.

It will be a different World for a while and Sport will have to adhere to all that to be able to continue with the Risk of a second peak of the Virus in the air.

Not many players from over seas taking part and Anthony McGill the only Scottish player in the draw but Ronnie O'Sullivan and World Champion is in the tournament.

Who will leave Lockdown and win this Week?

DRAW

ORDER OF PLAY

Are ITV4 definitely showing this? I've had a look at the tv schedule for next Monday and Tuesday and nothing mentioned. They do usually update the tv schedule a week in advance.

We should call it the 'Covid Classic' or something similar. It's a moment in history that we should commemorate.


The 2019-2020 Championship League finished in early March and was won by Scott Donaldson. That title belongs to him until next season.

What's bravery got to do with it?

They don't feel that it'd get big enough viewers to put on the main channel. They'll have some figures or some market research to support that.


At a blind guess, this might do a bit better than normal ratings wise on ITV4 if a lot of people are still stuck at home and missing sport. But, let's face it. The Championship League isn't a format that's going to capture the nation's imagination. Most people will probably dip in and out of it.

The sad fact is, rubbish like Loose Women get more viewers, so it's on the main channel. Whether we like it or not.

Actually it's not because there are at least a minority of women who also think the show is a waste of time, if not a disgraceful production by ITV

Loose Women having more ratings has nothing to do with it Snooker isnt like football where you get a match here and there and 90 minutes over 2 hours you can get that in to the schedule Snooker has no time on it it finishes when it finished and played over days Take this tournament there will be 88 hours brodcast shown on ITV 4 thats like about 44 football matches you dont get that much football on ITV during the World Cup.

Good point Wildey.

Took about 5 years for my wife to realise 'what time does this finish?' was a Pointless question when the snooker is on... <laugh>

That's a good point. ITV4 and Eurosport show Snooker properly unlike BBC that only show an hour of evening sessions unless it's a semi final and final. I know it's available on the red button and on BBC website but it should all be available on the TV channel properly.
