The Dafabet PTC Grand Final Last 32 Discussion !!
Tuesday 12th of March ~Sunday 17th of March at The Bailey Allen Hall, National University of Ireland, Galway
3rd staging of the PTC Grand Finals previously won by Shaun Murphy in 2011 and Stephen Lee in 2012 neither of which will be playing in it this year, Shaun Murphy failed to Qualify in all the available routes and Stephen Lee despite qualifying through winning APTC 2 is Suspended so his place goes to china's Xiao Guodong who was next on the APTC Order of Merit.
This year the Field of Players has increased from 24 to 32 with £100,000 Going to the winner.
only 6 out of 32 players have played in the event every year Mark Selby, Martin Gould, Jack Lisowski, Tom Ford, Andrew Higginson and Mark Davis, Stephen Maguire has Qualified all 3 Years however in 2011 he withdrew without Playing giving Stuart Bingham a Bye in to the Last 16.
Ken Doherty who has been heavily involved with the Grand Finals of previous years as The MC has this year Qualified as a Player and will play Kurt Maflin in Round 1.
Who will top yet another Packed season of PTC Events and win the Overall Tournament?
