How the UK Championship could be re-formatted
Not designed to be an entertaining post. I've always said I'd have liked a longer UK Championship, with the 4-table set up gotten rid of. Here's how it could be scheduled. It'll take 14 days, the same length as it was before the ridiculous 4 tables were introduced
