Q School 1 and 2 May 14-19 and 20-25, 2015

Good player, Daniel Wells. Not seen the others.

I love Q School but think the pool's running dry a bit. These four lads have all been there or thereabouts in recent years, as have the guys they beat, and the only repeat entry to suddenly start doing well is Shachar Ruberg, unless someone really turns it on in Q2. I think the gap between the top amateurs and the bottom pros is basically nonexistent, and then after that there's a big jump down. If the same 10 or 12 players keep dominating, they should all get a card and the event be stopped, imo.

I think it´s quite unfair that new draws isn´t made for Q2. As an example Marcus Campbell and a few others first enters in round 3 while Chen Zhe who made it to the last 8 got beaten by Andy Hicks in first round.

Eliot Slessor stuck on the motorway behind a big crash so won't get to the venue in time and it's looking like he might be starting 0-3

[Neil Taperell]

That is some bad luck .

[mythman69]

Poor thing - that would be terrible

[GeordieDS]

Yeah terrible he started 0-3 and he's out now

[Dave Walton]

Unfortunately she lost however she is playing in
Qualifier #2 so she still has a chance left.

I don't want this to sound all quotas and stuff, but as a long time Ladies WC, surely she should get a tour card for winning that title no? Folk get cards for minor events in Europe and Asia so I see no reason why she shouldn't get a card. If nothing else, to promote the game amongst women.

Wait for it................................................ ................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!! lol

Never done anything on the main tour though, very good amateur player but not good enough to compete at the top level with the men

[robertmac]

There are many players on the tour who havent done much
and I believe she deserves a chance to gain more experience
against better players.

[jrc750]

But she's not good enough so why should she take the place of people who are better ? all she has to do is beat them first

Those players have earned their place on the tour, Reanne hasn't! She has had chances given to her imo that she didn't deserve and hasn't taken them, if she can't qualify through q-school then she doesn't belong on the tour anyway.

My sentiment exactly

[GeordieDS]

Imo it would be good for the game if a lady player was on the tour, yes there might be people who are better but they can't improve snooker in terms of appealing to a larger audience whereas a lady player most likely will

If a lady can qualify it would be great, giving a wild card would undermine them imo as people would still say they didn't earn it

[GeordieDS]

I disagree because i think being ladies World Champion should earn you the card

So then it becomes sexist as only a woman can get on the tour that way, which is wrong! The ladies world title has nothing to do with the main tour so should not entitle the champion to get a place on the main tour, or even an invite into the main world championships which was the case this year. If women want to be taken seriously in the game then scrap the ladies tour and enter pro/am and open tournaments and try to earn a place on the tour same as the men have to
