Gibraltar Open 2017

Does any one know why Stuart Carrington has withdrawn ?

Saw his was playing in the Shoot Out last weekend .

[JimMalone]

The draw there is pretty wild with no seedings at all. On one side you have a first round encounter between Ricky Walden and Liang Wenbo. And contrary you've got matches like Eliot Slessor vs. Josh Boileau, where the winner gets to play the winner between Allan Taylor and a qualifier in the second round.
Do you think this is a good thing? Me personally I don't think you must seed it strictly at every tournament, but it would be fine to have at least eight seeds.

Where's the comp being broadcast on UK telly this year?

[Neil Taperell]

Would assume Eurosport .

Watched Liang play yesterday seems to be hitting the ball well , but then again so was a certain Mr Jimmy White .

Me , personally , really like the draws like this . Makes it much more interesting .

[JET]

Ah I see them listing them it from Friday round three on Eurosport 2 – couldn't spot it before hand so wasn't sure. Round one and two not televised then it seems? Unless I am being dim
