Saturday 20th - Friday 21st of June at The Marshall Arena, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire


The World have been rocked in recent weeks with this CoronaVirus and basically the sporting world have ground to a standstill but Snooker goes on and this week in Llandudno, North Wales.

Judd Trump fresh from winning in Gibraltar and where he picked up his 6th ranking event of the season and 17th overall will head a all star cast.

Defending Champion Ronnie O'Sullivan and Masters Champion Stuart Bingham couldn't get in the 8 man field.

John Higgins and Mark Allen are yet to win a title this season can they break their duck here.

Who will reach the Semi Finals?

DRAW

Quarter Finals
Judd Trump v John Higgins Higgins leads 22-16
Neil Robertson v Stephen Maguire Maguire leads 17-10
----------------------------------------
Mark Selby v Yan Bingtao Tied at 1-1
Shaun Murphy v Mark Allen Murphy leads 15-7

I don't think people are taking into account how stubborn/greedy Hearn is.

Football, tennis, rugby, Formula One and cricket have all had fixtures cancelled or postponed, but Hearn is dithering and posting crap on Twitter about what a hard-nut he is. If it's up to him, snooker would go ahead as normal. The real question is, will it be up to him? The government are hardly taking speedy measures.

I would be amazed if the Tour Championship doesn't go ahead. Without fans, maybe. But even that Hearn would only do reluctantly.

The Tour Championship will be played Behind Closed doors but they cant play the WC just too many players involved after what Johnson and co said in the Press Conference

On the face of it, yes. However there is a worst-case scenario lurking.

A ref contracts the virus today. As it has a long incubation period, ref does a few matches feeling fine. At this point, two players, a commentator he had a pint with (btw I wouldn’t even wish it on Yates), and two WST officials contract the virus. Tournament goes without a hitch. On the way home on the Monday morning the ref gets a fever.

You know the rest.

World Champs needs to be postponed, plain and simple, if there arent going to be any spectators allowed.

Even the Augusta Masters in Golf got postponed, and that event is even running for much longer than The Crucible.

World Champs should never go ahead in these conditions.
