Cazoo World Championship 2024

Trump in big trouble against Jones. Bit surprising given he started off with a century but a poor positional shot when in the balls in the 2nd frame and since then Jones has taken complete charge.

You can't win the match in the first session of these 3 session games, but you can certainly lose them and fall too far behind to realistically make a comeback. His arse has gone and is only 3-1 down, if you are under pressure at this stage, you've got no chance of going any further in the competition.

I wouldn't panic just yet. He's had a few good comebacks this season.

I hope I speak on behalf of everyone in here when I say Go Mags!

Not a great start is it. Mags needs some inspiration. Come on DBGB, give us a few fist pumps!

I know all of this! What I'm saying is I have never noticed in this tournament the top 16 seedings changing depending who gets knocked out above them. Same in Wimbledon for example. If say Federer was seeded #1 and Nadal #2 and Federer gets knocked out early. I've never seen Nadal jump to #1. He was still seeded 2 for the tournament. In all the years I've been watching the snooker, I've never seen the seeding change depending who gets knocked out. If that's always been happening, then I've just plopped into an alternative reality!

O´Sullivan is still 2. seeded and Judd third seeded, so nothings changed, just as it use to be at the cruicible

I am aware of that too! I need to repeat my observation as I'm not being clear it seems. The seedlings have changed on the TV screens behind where they sit.

Yes, think I was getting a bit ahead of myself when I posted that.

I do feel that the table on the right hand side as we see it on TV is playing a little easier than the one on the left. Balls seems to be a little more accepting down the cushion and balls seems to split better when going into the pack. The stats back it up too, 15 tons on the left side table, 24 including today's morning session on the right. I think they'll use that table when they get down to the semi finals!

LOL Apologies

I have never seen this happen either, can you show where the seeding has changed since the start of the tournament?

Of course, commentators and pundit may say that a player is now favourite because X is out, but not seeding changing
Because seeding is only of any use to dictate where players go at the start of the event, changing during an event wont have any use.

Higgins must have still been in bed for the first half of that session, he's woken up now though. A good night's sleep and he should come out all buns glazing.

With you 100% mate, everything goes through the pun filter. Anyway, we'd better stop this before we get banned for OT. I'm off for some food, maybe some nice keys and parrots.

I maintain my stance, that no one who commentates on a tournament wins it too ;-) Has anyone ever managed it?

What did anyone make of Bingham keep 'talking' to Lisowski last night?

The jury is out for me, keeping it nice and friendly....or taking advantage of inexperience... ?? 🤔
