Australian Open Qualifiers

[Mr Snooker]

I have taken Friday off work.


It struck me that I am only half an hour on the train fro! Crawley. Apparently, you can turn up on the day and get free tickets. So I am going to give it a go. Hopefully take in a couple of matches.

I wish I was near Crawley I would join you watching the snooker, I hope they have some tickets left for you, be awful to go and all tickets have gone, hope you have a good time and see some great snooker on Friday :snooker:

I tried to get one reserved, but you didn't seem to be able to do that.

WS are giving them out for free, so demand can't be that high. Going to try and get up there early anyway. Get a ticket, then find somewhere for a fry up.

Doherty is playing well and Swail is another match
I am enjoying. Hopefully some good quality players
make it thru and qualify.

I have not been able to find a Prize Money Rankings Schedule for 2015/16 yet.

Me neither Dean . Hunted through the new world snooker website but what a waste of time that is .

So I went to Crawley today.

I watched the Martin Gould vs Michael Leslie match and the Dale vs Hossein match.

A good day out. I even managed to find a couple of local pubs in between matches.

K2 was a decent enough venue. Bit in the middle of nowhere, mind.

Still, I enjoyed my first visit to a qualifiers, will probably go again at some point. Thinking of going to Pond's Forge next year.

Any big breaks?

[robertmac]

Very nice and the price was right too. Some good matches
this week and I enjoyed them.

Any big breaks?

Actually, not many. Seemed cagey. I guess there's a lot of pressure in the final stages of the qualifiers.

They gave me a ticket on the way in. Don't known why. Nobody asked to see it at any point.

Jimmy White at No 99. Last season perhaps?

Jimmy White at No 99. Last season perhaps?

Jimmy ended the 2014/15 season at 70, hence losing his automatic tour place.
He now has a ticket from his ET OoM; not sure but to me the order in the link document after 64 has no bearing on actual ranking (ie money) but just the groups of where they got their ticket from and WS arbitrary listing. All will be correct after the first event

[Neil Taperell]

Anyone found the prize money schedule for each tournament yet ?

Jimmy White at No 99. Last season perhaps?

I fully expect this will be his last season unless something miraculous happens to his game. Which is a shame.
