        No problem!

        It should be a good tournament and is actually being run by the team that does the Paul Hunter classic every year so is very professionally organised with a proper match arena and lighting.

          more about this tournament is to be found on this blog http://prosnookerblog.wordpress.com/...ian-open-2008/ also.

          BTW ... last edition of the "Belgian Masters" (not Belgian Open) was 1990 and John Parrott won it, beating Jimmy White. John will be in Duffel I think ... could he be considered as the "Defending Champion" , kind of?

                    Great, it seems like Selby´s on his way back to his best form.

                      I just watched Graeme Dott's game with one of the Amateurs, 2-0 win for Dott with breaks of 73 and 99. Dont ask me for any more results though as the site is pathetic. Cant get an earlier result anywhere yet.
                      Not value for the $15 by any means. Good concept but poorly implemented.

                        Results should come here sometime... soon I hope.

                        How do they go from last 48 to last 32 though? ... something isn't crystal clear there for me
