EPTC3 - only 128 entries

[snoopy2608]

per WSA site only 128 players have entered EPTC3.

I wonder if this means quite a few pros haven't bothered or if the Uk based amateurs aren't going?

wondering how low the entry figures could be for EPTC4,5+6?

Maybe it's a lack of amateurs entering!!!!!

Exactly. At the same weekend the German National Championships will be played. Which, to the German amateur players, is more important. Why not more international amateurs have entered, eludes me

[snoopy2608]

list of entrants is apparently:

I'm sure this is moreless correct although it does contain 129 names when WSA said there were 128 entrants. Will look through later and work out main tour absentees

[snoopy2608]

is indeed 129 listed! - when draw is published difference will become clear.

9 main tour pros appear not to have entered: J Higgins, G Dott, S Pettman, R McLeod, P Wallace, D Gilbert, P Davies, S Bedford, D McGlinchey

Has entry closed for this event? The event doesn't start for about another month.

that is why the PTC Should be a Pro Ticket series for All Players .
