There's no question those draws need to be redone in spreadsheet format. Anyone fancy it? The official ones are unreadable. Not surprising when the printer in the World Snooker head office is this

That's better although the draw goes too far, it's the semi-final spots that are the winners spots in Q School if you get me

I'm on it. Can you attach files on a thread?

Totally agree. As a final year student and with this government at the moment, I'm not likely to find employment anytime soon - can WS give me a job?! :mosh2:

of the pros droping off tour only these 8 players have entered Q School

Lucky Vatnani
Stuart Carrington
Paul S Davison
Sam Baird
Kacper Filipiak
Rod Lawler
Adrian Gunnell
Daniel Wells


whitch means

Liu Song
Joe Swail
Cao Yupeng
Ian McCulloch
David Morris
Sam Craigie
Andrew Norman
Tian Pengfei
Andrew Pagett
Adam Wicheard
Matthew Couch


are not bothering although i would hope cao yupeng gets a wild card of some sort

Re: Q School 2012

Ben's path would be:

Jordan Brown (Ire)
Fabio Luersen (Bra)
probably John Sutton (Ire) because I've seen him play and he can play

then one of:
England Shaun Wilkes (a)
England Callum Downing (a)
Scotland Bobby Cruickshanks (a)
England Saqib Nasir (a)
Australia Marc Robertson (a)
England Elliot Slessor (a)
England Richard Remelie (a)

and after that would be the final, notables in that section would be
Chris Norbury
Sydney Wilson
Kyren Wilson
Chen Zhe

I think a Kyren v Ben final could well be on the cards hopefully.

I am still in shock that Jay Bullen has entered it.

Yes it's amazing all World Snooker documents look like rubbish, it's not just this one although this is the worst I have ever seen from them.

Davy Morris may have been given the extra spot on tour now that Hendry has retired as he was next on the PTC Order of Merit list. Disappointing to see Craigie, Wicheard and Pagett not enter. I'd imagine Cao has a wildcard.

when you say final, do you mean Quarter final, which is essentially the final?

so he has 5 games to win to get on tour?

a tall ask tbh looking at some of the potential opponents

dunno why an order of merit is operated for the Q school and the top 12 after 3 events get onto tour, far fairer than this lottery

Re: Q School 2012

Postby Roland

Yes it's quarter-final in the whole draw but it's really 4 seperate events all going on at the same time. There is sort of an order of merit in that those that don't qualify but get the most frames won are the first picks when Ronnie withdraws but the fact they're all best of 7 isn't great really. For something as big as this they should be best of 9s at least.

He has been given a place as Asian under 21 runner up I think

If a former world number 2 from Bolton hit a 147 in Q School, what would you call it?

TK Max!

Re: Q School 2012

I am just wondering if Carter's performance in the world final would got have him through Q School?

Re: Q School 2012

Postby JIMO96

Turns out Adam Wicheard has entered after all. He's the one who was listed as "tour player" (god knows why). He got the same draw in each of the first 2 events as well (Shaun Wilkes)

Re: Q School 2012

Postby Roland

He'd better step it up from his performance against McGill in the world qualifiers which he lost 10-0 because that's as bad as I've ever seen a professional play.

Every day of it should be shown on the BBC, to help snooker fans forget about The Crucible final debacle.

For some reason I thought it started today and went to check live scoring and thought it wasn't going to be covered.
