youd think theyd give the guys who are in the Premier League on Thursday night a Saturday slot even if it is a slight bit of draw fixing.
Im convinced the draws are fixed anyway to be honest, there hardly exactly done in the public gaze are they.

Looks like it's quite selective with it's live showings on Eurosport this week. Though it'd be nice to given the choice when you watch it, the PTCs are probably something more aimed at dipping in and out of.

it was unrealistic to expect them to cover it all you are talking from 9am until 10pm + on friday and Saturday however its coverage not at all great but if its on eurosport there will be streams it will be on eurosport player all day and for viewers outside europe on liveworldsnooker

Well I'm at work all day, and I might be busy all day Saturday. Viewing of this tournament might be a bit minimal for me sadly. Only a PTC mind, but I'd have no objection to sitting down all day Sunday watching.
I'd rather them provide good coverage of the Shanghai Masters though.

Ben is travelling down with Stephen Lee driving from Tuesday night. That should be fun for him - at least Lee has a few days to recover whereas Ben will be playing 9am on Thursday.

Initially, that's when I booked my hotel, it was supposed to start on the Wednesday late afternoon. Now they have moved some amateur matches to Nuremberg and it starts on the Thursday morning. Positive: I'll be able to have a bit of rest before it starts. Negative: I can't be in two places so I'll miss all the action in Nuremberg.
I'm expecting hectic times as there will be 3 competitions running in parallel: the main event, a plate competition for Mainland Europe amateurs and another plate competition for the UK amateurs.
KISS ... or so they say.

And Ronnie, once he decides which part of his body to pretend is injured this time.
