Championship League Snooker 2011

Anyone about today?

Looks like Stephen Mags is out, having played 5 won 1...

It's pretty close everwhere else, all having won 2 or 3

You feel Graeme would need to beat Mark Selby to stay in the running... and Mark J has recovered a bit from yesterday which is a relief!

I've never really understood how the 7 players for the premier league are chosen. Ok, one of them wins the championship league and qualifies by right. How do the other 6 get picked?

Me neither.

Let's have a look.

1. Defending Premier League champion.
2. Surely World Champion should be in.
3. Championship League champion.
4.
5.
6.
7.

Well, perhaps, UK and Masters champions will have the upper hand on the other ranking event winners. I'm not sure

The guaranted spots are defending premier league champion, world champion, world number 1, championship league champion. They also seem to always have at least one chinese player to get the interest overseas.

That could mean Marco Fu then.......

It's all change next year, the Championship and Premier Leagues will become WPBSA events so the CL will be done strictly on ranking, while the PL will be from winners of pre-determined events plus one wildcard or the rankings if necessary. Was in Snooker Scene last month.

Ronnie's got off to avery impressive start, white washing Neil Robertson and Jamie Cope

The match between Jamie and Neil is just horrible! Neither can pot a ball and really Jamie should have won 3-0, it's now 2-2

another superb display from o'sullivan... he just won against carter 3-2, after being down 0-2... that is his fourth win in a row in group b... it look like he is in very good form... and there is only few days remaining until masters begin

He was in superb form just a few days before the UK Championship...and lost in the first round. Ronnie is one of a kind and he gains or losses form several times a day

Ronnie beats John 3-0 and they end up with 5-1 each. Mark J leads Neil 2-1 and if he wins, he will finish with 5-1, too.

Standard looks a bit too high

I see Ali's done quite poorly again today Is he out or through in 5th?
