Belgium Open 2008 - Live Online

I hope they fix it soon!! - i cant watch anything!!

Only 8? for a 3 day non ranking tournament? Complete rip off.
compared to digital tv packages. And no buffering problems. . Think they want to make a quick buck.

Is anyone else having problems with watching in online - mine keeps getting stuck and its driving me mad!! i know its only £8 for the three days but they could at least make sure it works???

It is something new PPV and snooker - we are not the tournament organisers and are responsible only for the live stream.

There were buffering issues due to bandwidth problems but it is all good now.

I believe Connect Management have live score updates at www.connectmanagement.eu

I think indeed everything there is quite expensive. Especially if you consider that it is the first event of some importance in some 18 years. You would expect them to make it as affordable as possible to attract people.
Another thing that put me off I must admit is that all information (sort of, because it isn't quite good or extensive ...) is given exclusively in Dutch, plus some bits in German on snookerstars site. I know it happens in Flanders, yet it is the BELGIAN Open. To my knowledge Belgium still exists and still has three official languages, Dutch, German and French. The latter being spoken by over 4000000 citizens in the country

I will spend the week-end there nonetheless but honestly I'm not too pleased even if I understand and speak Dutch fluently.

OK rant over!

last time I checked the tables on the ConnectManagement site were not updated. Some updates though on http://www.globalsnookercentre.co.uk...lgian_Open.htm ... thanks Janie yet again!

I will post all TV table matches to the Cuesport TV Blog. I only have information for these matches myself. Tournament office is a long way from the action

En waar is de Wim? Hij is nergens te vinden ... Eh zut! Il va falloir me débrouiller toute seule!

Allei ... in't Brusseleir den ... es da na gie goeie idée une fois hien Paul?

Mark Selby had a maximum chance in the 1st frame of the day. Ran out of position for the 14th red.

104 break and 105 in the second - awesome stuff

[The_Teach]

89 Break from Perry to secure the 1st frame - bit scrappy so far in 2nd

[The_Teach]

Perry secures the second frame and the match - very scrappy no break above 50.

Neil Robertson v Freek Sermeus (due to a late arrival)
