globalsnooker seems to be better today:
2-0 Alfie Burden vs Mei Xiwen
1-1 Ian Preece vs Li Hang
2-0 Joe Swail vs Jin Long
2-2 Tom Ford vs Xiao Guodong

[Sarmu]

I'm watching on CCTV5 atm and the score seems a bit different

0-4 Alfie Burden vs Mei Xiwen
2-2 Tom Ford vs Xiao Guodong

so far in Frame 5, both Xiao Guodong and Tom Ford made heaps of mistakes

[snookersfun]

I just wanted to ask, as GS has switched to 0-3 against Burden suddenly (from 2-0)

[Sarmu]

yea I saw 2-0 on GSC too before, anyway it's at mid session interval

0-4 Alfie Burden vs Mei Xiwen

[Ellena]

I havent predicted an whitewash for Alfie , in fact i thought he'd win.

[Ellena]

Tom Ford 2-3 Xiao Guodong
Joe Swail 0-3 Jin Long - it thought Swail was 2 frames up , now he's 3 frames down..according to GSC
and Ian Preece - Li Hang still 1-1 since forever...

edinmis, thanks for keeping us updated
scary scores though, the support of the Chinese public must be inspiring.
Do you have any idea why the Preece match is not commencing?

[Nina]

When I posted my predictions, I was thinking they were totally like playing LOTTO... But I think our not knowing much about the Chinese players made many of us predict wrongly. So this could be a massacre predictions-wise...

[gavhay]

can you only watch the one match or can you change which match you watch?

[edinmis]

No sure as well. did not find any information about it.

but Mei Xiwen win 5:2 as well. The match is finished earlier than Xiao's one, but the live score was not updated.

[edinmis]

You should be able to select the channels, but i only watched the first channel. when the match is finished, and tried the second one, no video at all.

Then i went to check the score, and the match (Mei xiwen vs Burden) was finished already. That explains why there is no video in channel 2. Try it again after 7:30 (Beijing time) when there are two matches in the same time
