2024 Snooker Shootout

Will do.

Going with my snooker obsessed 12 year old, he loves the format.

That's brilliant and proves it's reaching a new younger audience so doing a good job at grass roots level. 👍

The format for this just doesn't work. It's supposed to be about quick play and a more attacking game, yet the most advantageous thing a player can do is run the clock down and use the full 15/10 seconds to keep their opponent from coming back. It's ridiculous.

Maybe have it like chess, where each individual has their own clock which stops when they are not at the table?

Its fun but it shouldnt be a ranking event! I'll be watching on Wed anyway, young Daniel Boyes is playing and I've got him and his mate in the next round of our league doubles! Call it a scouting mission!

I've seen Daniel play a few times, tidy wee player, definitely capable of winning a match, who does he play doubles with, is it Ethan Lewellyn ? I'm just guessing as they play in the same underage England team.
it didn't quite happen for him today, bit of a shame, great experience for him though.

So many empty seats? Is that because it doesn't sell well or is everyone in the bar getting sloshed?
