Monday 25th of June~Sunday 1st of July at Wuxi City Sports Park Stadium, ChinaThe Wuxi Classic in it first year as a Ranking Event sees The Last 2 World Champions John Higgins and Ronnie O`Sullivan Missing but the Field is Strong With World No 1 Mark Selby Defending a title he won Last year when it was a invitational event.
Unfortunately for the Locals not one Chinese Player qualified but theres always Ding Junhui and the Customary 8 wild cards.
Who will get 2012/2013 season of Wall to Wall Snooker off to a flying start ?

I hope Barry Hawkins can't get a visa? And preferably anyone else except Selby?

Yes, Gould. And maybe others but, if so, they haven't come public with it.

No issues from Graeme in getting a visa. In saying that I do understand in a way why there is trouble.

Sounds like this event could end up at star studded as the APTC.

Judd Trump cant attend the tournament then am I right?
Does this mean Dale will get a bye and receive ranking points?

Same for Gould. He should get his visa today.
Thing is they have to be there by tomorrow for PR work or the get fined. Even if it's not their fault.

No, it isn't. And the same for Gould. Apparently they both were told that there was something wrong with their invitation letter (that comes from the local promoter and not from WSA BTW … before you berserk again). Why others had no problem, I don't know, but it might just come down to an employee being more fussy about details than their colleague. Not unheard of.

its a nonsense that they dont just re-jig the draw than have 1 guy get a but to last 16 whilst 3 others players have to battle it out to face him.
Common sense approach would be let Holt skip wildcard round and play Walden in last 32
and make Perry play Yiunghui in the last 32 so he has to earn his place in the last 16, not just be given it
