Q school

[trains]

So many players struggling to score with the new conditions, i think the Q Tour should be opened up to everyone who entered this and not just the best 48 and 16 qualifiers, otherwise too many potential players will fall by the wayside i think.

Does anyone know what time the Dominguez vs Iqbal match started, was it 4 p.m. gmt ? Its been going on for 4 and a half hours now ?

The official start time was 1630 gmt and it finished at 2103 gmt, so allowing time for the referee to set them up again roughly 42 minutes a frame.

Surprised to see Robin Hull in this , thought he retired due to illness or neck injury…….can’t remember which . Good luck to him .

Cue crafty post #9, Ed Warr's match lasted over five hours for six frames played, Burrell's was about four and a half hours.
Stupid tournament really having pro's with two years plus pro experience in the same tournament as players with little to no experience.
The system needs changing but that would mean somebody somewhere being innovative, putting concrete genuine thought into it and not being a company guy.
Good luck with that i suppose.

Hey peeps, question about the way Q School works. What happens if a player fails to get the tour card but tops the order of merit, gets to play in big tournaments thanks to withdrawals, has a cracking season and finishes well inside the top half of the world ranking... does this player have to go through Q School again next year or does he secure his spot through his ranking? Thx in advance

AFAIK if not a card carrier then I believe they get the money for their performances but not ranking points so wont appear in the ranking list. Money list but not ranking.

Where is there any such wording as ' money list ' ? i don't see it on wst.tv or snooker.org.
They'll appear on the one year list or season points list how its worded on snooker.org.
Daniel Wells is a good example of getting a two year card from this list after just missing out at the Q School quarter final last year.

Agree with you there Trains, Burrell has done Q school before so has more experience and also played at Norbreck castle in his younger days, he has talked about the slide on the cushions etc being so different and even though he has practiced on Star tables they weren't set up quite the same. It is a different game really and those as you say who have more experience have a good edge over other players who haven't.

A good player can still play decent snooker on these conditions, but it's the small mistakes with positional play that catch up with them against the more experienced on these conditions.

Good win for Iulian Boiko, he missed matchball blue, dropped his head and then knocked it in after a safety exchange, i thought Liam Davies matchplay would be a bit better tbh.
Boiko's got Stuart Carrington next, tough.
Womersley, Benzey, Brandon Hall and Staniland all look good players.
Totten could beat Ursenbacher too we'll see.
