It's scheduled for next Tuesday (11th October).
It says 2pm CEST which I think means 1pm UK time?
If I remember correctly, SnookerFan, you're going to the latter stages in Event City, Manchester?
I'm Jealous!

Me too.

My hopes won't be too high for this first one though especially after just returning from Romania, regardless if he wins or loses the Final.

If he wins one of these I'll be very happy. He did win the old Scottish Open, Northern Ireland Trophy and of course the Welsh Open.

i think Ronnie used the European Masters as practice and to fine tune his game for a crack at the £1,000,000

Yes. No way he'll let the opportunity for the biggest paycheck in snooker history slip just like that.

If anyone could do it, Ronnie is the man to make that achievment.

Let's not forget it was only 3 years ago that Ding won 5 ranking events in that season, and 3 of them consecutively. It's possible, but unlikely I'd say.

Then the person on for the million pound bonus is Wayne Townsend, or something.



I'd love for someone to win the first three, and reach the final of the Welsh which goes 8-8 and deeply close! (Perhaps the harsh bit inside me suggests, win the first three, go 8-8 and go in off potting the black handing over the 9-8 victory)

Yeah, I thought the same. World Snooker will probably be hoping someone like Ronnie wins it.

A 'different' winner in this would also help to fill another slot in the Champion of Champions!

With Judd (and Ronnie) having already qualified, the win yesterday means there are still 3 spaces up-for-grabs with just the 3 tournaments to go before the CoC begins.
    English Open
    International championship
    China Championship

Apparently, any remaining spaces will be taken by using this season's points ranking list. At present, (but it could change) the top 'unqualified' players are:
Joe Perry, Michael Holt then Stuart Bingham.

The venue is good, and looks great on TV. I was slightly disappointed when I attended. The hotel, bars and snooker hall were all in one indoor area. You'd have thought the fans would've interacted more with each other, and been more excited for it. Everybody in my hotel was a snooker fan, snooker player or part of the ITV commentary team. And yet the atmosphere felt flat somehow.

But yet, as an event I like it. ITV are good and you feel their analysis is aimed at hardcore snooker fans, whereas the BBC aim it more at casuals who will just be dipping in and out.
