I want to ask if the format of play NI trophy can be published before the 20th of july, due to my absence during the tournament.

[The Statman]

Sorry Paul, it's unlikely, because the Qualifiers are not finished till 30 July.

You can always email me if you cannot get here! (Mind you if you can get to an email you can probably get here!

[PaulTheSoave]

Okay, TheStatman, I will write down the tournament date and find myself the internet somewhere.

good to see, that everything is set up here already.
Must admit, after looking first at the BBC message board this morning, that it is definitely loosing it appeal rather quickly. Initially thought the madness would be over soon, but looks like you were right in finding a new and better place for the competition.
I am rather getting used to this place

[Mal]

Yeah the BBC message board has definitely lost its appeal...
The only threads now seem to be about complaining about the message boards! and strangely, despite not being related to snooker, they stay. Anyway...
I'm hoping for a local boy to come good in the NI trophy, but unlikely... However, if Mark allen does as well in it as last season, it will be a great start to his season as it is worth ranking points now.

Bring it on. Is it me, or are the only posters here, ex-Five Live posters?

[Mitsuko]

Bring it on. Is it me, or are the only posters here, ex-Five Live posters?

No, there are a few others We have just raided the boards.

[Skypigeon]

[Curtis]

[Cyril]

Cheers Curtis, I'm sure we will.

[The Statman]

One week to go!

Well a week and a day and a bit actually!

But just to remind everyone that the coming prediction season will commence next weekend (July 31) with the first round of the Northern Ireland Trophy.

[Alex0paul]

How can the predictions for the Northern Ireland Trophy start on July 30th when qualifying hasn't finished?

[Valderie]

Thanks for the Calendar Statman, looking forward to the contests.
