Really enjoyed the streaming of this event. It was loads better than Power Snooker. It seemed well organised. From what I could see on the stream, players were often at the table before it had been brushed! Commentary would have been nice. With the roll on roll off format, I should imagine it would be difficult getting two commentators on both tables for every match. Maybe just have it on the last day if it's possible. A score graphic for the TV pod table would have been nice, although this can be solved by having the live scoring in another window. I can't understand why the plug was pulled out before the prize giving ceremony. Overall though, it was super. No problems with the stream. Could watch for hours without it stopping. Hope there are many more big events from the academy on the net in the future. Well done to Stephen Lee. A deserved winner.

i think the World Championship Qualifying should be played at the SWA it would be a travesty for the sport if the Qualifying Rounds for the Biggest Tournament is played behind close doors in Sheffield.

it makes perfect sense to me having watched 3 days outstanding organisation of this PTC.

the academy looked perfect for snooker.

Have posted my report and photos up from my day at the Academy yesterday.

It's a cracking place for snooker.

Is it just because we don´t watch the players as close as usual, or has Stephen Lee lost a lot of weight ?

no he hasn't - on my PC, the aspect ratio of the arena camera has been wrong all through the event, the picture is too tall ... the picture from table #2 is correct ... it might be just my PC but I doubt it ...

but that is not intended at all to take anything away from Sarah, Janie, Paul and all at SWSA - they've done an excellent job providing the streaming service and put the WPBSA to shame who still can't manage it at their own venue after months of trying ...

so a huge well done and thanks to them ...

to the poster who wanted commentary - talk about wanting your cake and eat it - four commentators (2x2 tables) would cost a lot of money and is quite frankly totally unnecessary for most viewers - the stream is appealing to die-hard fans who, I would imagine, are quite capable of assessing the difficulty and tactical implications of shots without requiring a commentator to tell them ...

mindu (and I hope I'm not upsetting anyone at SWSA), those two lads commentating on day 1 were terribly funny ... they clearly has no idea about the game and were trying to bluff it, often with hilarious results ...

so yes, as WJE said, as far as I'm concerned, the more WBPSA events at the SWSA, the better
