Yu Can’t Win ’Em All

Yu Delu has withdrawn from the Paul Hunter Classic due to an injury, handing Ronnie O'Sullivan a bye into the last 64.
China's Yu was due to compete as a wild card at the Roewe Shanghai Masters but has also withdrawn from that event. The two wild card places to be filled in Shanghai will be confirmed shortly.

The Paul Hunter Classic, which is the first event in the Euro Players Tour Championship series, starts on Thursday at the Stadthalle Fürth in Germany, and runs until Sunday.

I think this was a trial year for a format nobody knew if it was going to work or not. But I think its safe to say that among the players the PTC is a success, and if Hearn and & wants this positive trend to continue, the fans should get to access the fruits of the PTC also. It would be stupidity and a major breach of duty not to sit down and discuss how the format could be developed further. Perhaps there are a pair of eyes reading this forum for pointers! :chin:

It's fairly clear from all I've read on here and other sites that the fans want to see live streaming of PTC events and at the very least we need the new live scoring up and running asap.

that is one of the most sensible posts ive seen on this subject.

your right it was a trial and there has been teething problems so which TV or online company wanted to commit to something that might not work. how could barry hearn sell this to a TV Company or online through not having a clue how it will work.

From what i understand a new Live Scoring will be up by the shanghai masters that is starting in 11 days time so this is the Last Tournament without Live Scoring that doesn't Freeze and break down every 5 minutes.

don't know what happened to knowles Global has had nothing about it all day and World Snooker is only posting scores.

regarding 4-0 its obvious they are poor quality players.
