Monday 18th of January - Tuesday 16th of March at Stadium MK, Milton KeynesA Brand-new tournament basically to fill a void left by the Chinese tournament and gives players earning opportunity and playing opportunity with each player playing a minimum of 14 frames and a maximum of 21 frames over one day with Ranking points to be won.
I guess having that many frames to play against human beings was a carrot for Stephen Hendry to make his long awaited return to Professional Snooker almost 9 years after he retired.
Neil Robertson, Ding Junhui and John Higgins are sitting this out but World Champion Ronnie O'Sullivan and World No 1 Judd Trump is there.
Who will qualify for the second stage?

Now i'm satisfied.
But Jeez, he's in Milton Keynes anyway, why not just pick up a cue and just have a go? What's the worst that could happen? Expectations would be pretty low anyway...
This whole 'comeback' is beginning to resemble the boy who cried wolf...

I had my doubts he would play in this right from the moment it was announced that he'd entered.
This supposed return of his is looking more and more like a publicity stunt, each passing day.

Short lived comeback.
I Have a feeling his involvement in this was for publicity.
Not a clue what's going on apart from the fact the bubble thing bores him and at this time he doesent want that and who can blame him really mask on mask off yawn the whole experience to be fair.

Yes, I’m sure having to wear a mask occasionally is the number one reason Hendry has pulled out of this.
