2010 BTV Cup

[Mr P]

Nice to see Zhang coming back into some form. Tian Pengfei is another familiar name who has beat O'Sullivan recently, keep up the updates and thanks alot for the links!

[Mignon]

The lack of information on the 110 sport site is absolutely revolting.
They don't even show the group line-up!
Worse than the worst days of worldsnooker.com!

[HunRon]

16-18. July:
Group A: Jin Long, Xiao Guodong and Li Yan.
Group B: Li Hang, Zhang Anda and Tian Pengfei.
(100%)

19-25. July:
Group A: Liang Wenbo, Allister Carter, Ryan Day, Mark Allen and Wild Card 3.
Group B: Stephen Hendry, Stephen Maguire, Marco Fu, Wild Card 1 and Wild Card 2.
(90%)

[Mignon]

HunRon, the 110 sport people should offer you a job.
But then again what would you do there?!.....
Their site, their tournament, their blatant lack of interest and competence.....

[Mr P]

Like I have already said in this thread. Does anyone else find it very poor scheduling when this clashes with the 6 reds championship in Thailand?

[HunRon]

Jin Long 2-4 Xiao Guodong: 11-58, 73(55)-36(33), 29-89(89), 5-119(119), 128(114)-1, 2-117(40,69)

Tian Pengfei 4-2 Li Hang: 51(40)-61(36), 0-81(64), ? (frame duration: 52 minutes), 91(51)-41, 62(58 )-25 (conceded 2 reds on), 90(59,31)-1

[Mignon]

Thanks for the updates HunRon!

I don’t really understand......
so on 16-18 July they have the qualifiers giving wild card 1 and 2 in the main event but why a wild card 3?
What do 100% and 90% mean?

[HunRon]

100% = I am absolutely sure.
90% = I'm sure. (It may be a mistake.)

16-18 The Qual.
The qual. winner will receive a place in the competition (19-25. July).
Wild Card 2 and 3: Asian (chinese?) players, who have been invited.

[Mignon]

I've found this: http://en.piao.com.cn/beijing/ticket_3420.html sort of order of play but one can get some sort of general idea


but why should we have to struggle so much to squeeze information from wherever when almost all civilised competition organisers have sites to make them as widely known as possible (them meaning both comps and organisers) Some organisers set up special sites for certain events but of course THAT would be too much to ask! The Chinese do their best but only in Chinese.
As for 110 sport they're in luck: words fail me at the mo!

[HunRon]

SFs:
Tian Pengfei 4-3 Jin Long
0-90(44), 44(44)-95(71c), 79(32,47)-24, 77(64c)-45(39), 0-72(64), 60(38)-46(38), 61(49)-21 (conceded 2 reds on)

Li Yan 3-4 Zhang Anda
84-36, Zhang Anda 103 break, 28-65, 64(50)-29, Zhang Anda 78 break, Li Yan 113 break, 31-76(54)

[Mr P]

So the actualy competition starts today then HunRon?

Or am I wrong again?

[HunRon]

The qual. final:
Tian Pengfei 5-3 Zhang Anda
84(84)-5, 111(30,81)-13, 62(33)-1, 72(72)-1, 56-66, 25-101, 51-72, 83(83)-16

Mr P: tomorrow.

[Mr P]

Same day as the Thailand 6 reds then. How stupid is that?

[HunRon]

This is very stupid.

Last season:
07-07-07-12: Beijing International Challenge.
07-07-07-12: Six-red World Grand Prix.
