Was just about to post this. A pity, one of my favourite players. But obviously I understand his concerns. -
WST stated that all eight days of qualifying will be broadcast live on Eurosport.
In the UK I guess.Comment

well, there is that
My Eurosport is part of a Family (IIRC)package on Sky.(not a Sports package)
But yes I do separately subscribe to their Player.
They have been good and have pushed the expiry due to no sport being on

Probably slot someone in from the Challenge Tour. Think it will be good news for Ian Burns who was ranked 81st for Crucible. With Marco dropping out Ian moves up to 80th. One less round to play.Originally Posted by fkhan View Post
Wouldn’t be surprised if more folk pull out cos of the quarantine requirements.Last edited by Nifty50; 20 June 2020, 11:42 AM.Comment

yep it would be a roll down from the other tour listings.Originally Posted by Nifty50 View Post
as you say rolling up the listing can seriously affect how many frames you have to play
early days yet but yes I think a few others may drop out.

The draw is normally made once the 16 qualifiers are known. So for this year that would be after July 28th. Bit tight for July 31st start at Crucible but should be dooable.
PS. Last years dates. Last qualifying match was April 17th. (remember it well. Scott Donaldson getting thru 10-9). Draw made April 18th. Got my bets on April 19th lol. Crucible first match April 20th 10.00 am.Last edited by Nifty50; 20 June 2020, 05:31 PM.Comment
