I'm sure it was 3k for quarter finals
6k for semi's
25k for the winner.

No idea on runner up though

Winner 25k, ru 10k, semi's 6k, Quarters 4.5k, last 16 3K

Cheers for the replies guys, keeps the database upto date.

Tried to watch this event this time and while the table looked slightly better I had to switch of after 30 minutes as I found it to be a load of garbage.
Might get some more people into the game but hopefully they don't copy the fans with all the drunken shouting and carrying on.
Won't bother with this the next time it is on.

This was a fun event imo and I think they meant it to be so, the walk on and track is a main part of this.

To pick on a walk on track for the title referring to the wrong time of day as a negative is just ridiculous. Is there a list of rules that must be obeyed for a sting ? It's an upbeat track that a lot of people know so perfect to get the crowd going. I liked the way the crowd came in behind Ronnie , reminded me of Rocky.

The woman presenter did stutter a couple of times but doesn't everyone do that in real life sometime at least she corrected her self and carried on. Do you want the refs sacked when they make a mistake as both of this weekends have done several times over the last few years including some big ones.

A few improvements from last years, colours, less powerzone calling (sometimes) but i wondered about others, last year if you got consecutive centuries you got bonus points 50,100,200 i think. I didn't see day1 but no mention of it on day2 or the website.

Also I think the calling out just when someone is about to strike the cue ball should be stopped and camera flashes as Martin got one on a shot and missed but in this environment I understand it is hard to do.

Quite a few good games that were very close or sung around in quick time and its nice to see Ronnie in good form for a period of time at the moment.

If you don't like, don't watch but please find other things to try and moan about.

Ah a bit of light relief, maybe now some discussion instead of twelve pages of people agreeing with each other.

Surely anyone watching the o' Sullivan/Dott match found it a little exciting

HI Yes watched the Osullivan Dott Match is was tight till the end Dott should have won it however Ronnie came through in the end. Liked it a lot as the crowd wanted Ronnie to win

In a press release just made! 2 days after power snooker finished I must add, Bird Consultancy (pr company to power snooker) wrote
Speaking after the event Gould said: “The Trophy is more important because it’s my first major tournament win.”

Which was infect not what he said, see the video below

I see they choose to leave out comments mad by John Higgins in his post match interview and comments made by Steve Davis and Ali Carter on Twitter

Major tounament win?

Your right - he just said it was his first win - Not even snooker really was it - but its amazing how much you love something (Dennis Taylor) if they pay you enough.
I'm sure if they placed a massive advertisement on the forum next year even we might change our minds.

One player that impressed me was actually John Higgins who clearly did not enjoy it. He did not wait to tweet, he just said it as it was. "I wont be back next year" or something like that -
Fair play to him -been to loads of events myself, quite shocked at the language and behaviour of the crowds - far worse than at the darts - nothing like any other snooker exhibition or event I have ever seen. I did not agree that it was a good atmposphere, personally I thought it was appauling (no class), there were children present and shame on the organisers for not keeping order better. It can be done at events such as these by getting rid of any trouble makers at the start - this sends a message to others in the crowd to yes have fun but dont go too far - I thought the show had one or two good aspects - the tv team of commentators did their best to hold it together and watching them play with the spotty white was good but the atmosphere was not as good as they kept saying it was. (I half expected a fight or a streaker) and it must have been un-nerving for the players too.

It is the ONLY event that I have ever been offered free tickets that I have actually turned down.

[The Statman]

Yes, I agree.

I actually thought the event itself (on-table) was quite good and I enjoyed watching it. But, as Clive Everton said in his review of last year's Power Snooker event, they could surely have employed some kind of security staff who could have had quiet words with some of the more unruly among the spectators, and, if necessary, warned and ejected them.

Quite right, and did I hear that daft Nolan woman they briefly interviewed to give us all a whiff of stardom, say it was a great family atmosphere??

Phew! Close call.

The sun were giving away 500 tickets from what I was told by a Mail on Sunday journalist, I would not know, I do not read the sun, I find it hard to believe the date printed in that paper.

The part I had to laugh at most was the line of people they had to corral into a line to make it look busy on the walk outs and not one player wanted to shake hands or high five anybody.

Has everybody seen this article yet - http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/g...t-6265361.html
