By the way, be interesting to see if players are again required to wear ties for the afternoon matches just like last season... Then BBC copied this idea and did the same thing at the Masters. <laugh>

More prize money? Where did you get that ideia from? The winner got 120,000 Honk Kong Dollars, I would say thats about 10,000 pounds, so no in no way did that event carry more prize money.

Who is playing today in this 'Red Poppy Classic'?

Sorry, I forgot snooker is cancelled because of a piece of junk football event.

I really think this it is a very nice format to play this tournament. It really could and should bring the best out of the players like Ronnie O´Sullivan, Steve Davis, Mark Selby and Ricky Walden. Interesting to see if Ricky can beat Mark Allen again today. I would certainly expect Ronnie to coast through Junhui into the final, and if Ricky will be there too, well then it really is a some prospect there! And I very rarely see it like that.

We should get some IN-DEPTH analysis. Sometimes commentators and experts are way of the mark how to approach these sorts of special tournaments. I don´t care so much about the rest of their r@nts ans @ntics if we do also get some IN-DEPTH analysis.

Well the choice was Share Coverage with football which would mean Highlights only of the Quarter Finals at 10.30pm or have a Off Day.

The problem is it's not about what one person in North Wales wants, it's what the majority wants. Football gets higher viewing figures, so that's what the TV stations show.
