you really don't like that tournament do you.
It's not that, but it's been dropped by Sky Sports and by ITV4. It didn't even get put on Quest last year. It clearly doesn't get great TV ratings.
That's the whole point of it being a ranking event. To force top players in to drive up the TV viewership.
The reason it's kept at all, is because it sells a lot of tickets. More so than some of the actual ranking events.
People say The Masters is pointless without fans, but what about the Shoot-out? Without fans in attendance, it's just a novelty event that few people will watch televisually. A lot more people watch The Masters on TV.

Disagree. Makes sense to me.

i like the tournament apart from the moronic fans. you get a chance to see all the matches so not all the usual players we normally get to see but a 1 frame tournament shouldn't be a ranker think that will be dropped when whoever takes over from hearn.

How can Selby not tap the table there? That was a tremendous escape.

If Selby does a Selby in this frame, he’ll do a Selby in the match.

I doubt he’s capable of snake hissing anymore. Too dehydrated from all the salt.
