2018 World Championship

[blahblah01]

And Website seems to have crashed.....

Someone is using the comments section of Worldsnooker's Facebook thread about the postponement to tout tickets. You could not make this up..

Why is watching the draw made so difficult. I don't think I can even access BetFred from Poland and I don't have a Facebook account. In fact, whoever has a Facebook account obviously doesn't value their privacy.

Why not stream it on YouTube? I guess that makes too much sense.

[blahblah01]

I agree about Facebook...

I found https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/ot...Day-qualifiers on google, but not much is happening....

It's over. :smile: I actually tried my best to watch it live, but finding the stream took about 10 minutes, and it was over by then. Pathetic really. :smile:

They screw it up every year. I guess rocket surgery is harder than we think.

Ronnie v Mags. Carter v Dott. McGill v Day. Higgins v That Thai Lad. That covers the Jocks.

Happened to me as well. Just saw the last five balls or so, but it was a bit confusing not as transparent as I'm used to from the Champions League or Tennis Grand Slams.

However I will immediately add the first rounds to the opening post of this thread.

Well organising a pi55 up in a Brewery apparently is rather difficult - there could yet be a re-draw with ROS vs Maguire?

[richiet]

Mark Selby v Joe Perry
Mark Allen v Liam Highfield
Kyren Wilson v Matthew Stevens
Shaun Murphy v Jamie Jones
John Higgins v Thepchaiya Un-Nooh
Stuart Bingham v Jack Lisowski
Luca Brecel v Ricky Walden
Judd Trump v Chris Wakelin
Ding Junhui v Xiao Guodong
Anthony McGill v Ryan Day
Marco Fu v Lyu Haotian
Barry Hawkins v Stuart Carrington
Mark Williams v Jimmy Robertson
Neil Robertson v Robert Milkins
Ali Carter v Graeme Dott
Ronnie O’Sullivan v Stephen Maguire

[JimMalone]

McGill vs. Day could be very intriguing.

The two top favorites Selby and O'Sullivan don't have exactly a bye in the first round.

All four chinese players in the draw play against a compatriot.

Robertson has Milkins again, to whom he lost in the first round of 2013.

Carter plays Dott again in a rematch of last years first round.

Any idea how long it normally takes for them to schedule the matches? Would like to see who I am watching.

[blahblah01]

It's already been done ie before the drawer?

Obviously Bazza's website is still down....

Edit: the dates are here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_W...hip#Qualifying

Thanks. Think I have tickets for McGill v Day... not the most inspiring! At least it's the concluding session so if it's an exciting finish that will be good.
