dott is on a trip to inner mogolia for 4 days, i hope he's prepared for the match.

Imagine that..Inner Mongolia ,,,of all places!!

lol, but i think it may not be his own choice, i heard he's sponsored by some chinese company, who asked him to do this.

As far as I can understand, both Dott and Hendry have been doing a couple of light exhibition matches in Mongolia / China, so I suppose they are slowly but surely getting ready.

I don't understand why more players don't go there early, one would think it is a clear advantage to get used to the Beijing time a few days early.

And on a personal note: Wheeee - snooker on telly again!

stephen lee has pulled out nobody knows why yet

good news for white if he can win his wildcard match

wow Maija, you and Jamie are fast, well done

[elvaago]

Dang, I predicted a 5-0. Next four matches started 15 minutes ago, yes?

[snookersfun]

live scoring doesn't move yet... so, maybe only in 1/2 hour...?

That's interesting ..mmmh..i am a bit curious about the reasons he had to pull out , but i am happy in a way as this makes it easier for Jimmy!
Mon Jimmy!

According to this http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/othe...er/6491421.stm ...he had "personal reasons" .

According to Worldsnooker , the order of play for today is:

10.30am
Jamie Cope v Yang Qintain

3pm
Alfie Burden v Mei Xiwen
Joe Swail v Jin Long
Ian Preece v Li Hang
Tom Ford v Xiao Guodong

7.30pm
Ding Junhui v Adrian Gunnell
Joe Jogia v Yu Delu
Andy Hicks v Liu Chang
Jimmy White v Zheng Peng

Not sure if those are UK times , guess not .. Anyway it seems the next 4 matches are 4 hours and a half after the first one

[snookersfun]

well, it is 4 pm in Beijing (and that is where they are, isn't it?). Does that mean, that live-scoring doesn't work?

So, the local times would be UK+7 h (hope I got that right, summertime and all)

[Ellena]

Live scoring not moving for me either.. I thought we messed up the hours thats why i posted the schedule , but it seems you're right , should be 4 pm there
