World Championship Qualifying

Such a shame to see Joe and Ian out of the tour, very nice players and lads
David Gilbert is safe, he's through via ptc

[LittleMissAlexa]

and ladies it was me who brought Gilbert up

also we dont know who is through from PTCs yet as we dont fully know whos dropping off if someone higher in the ptc order of merit loses his top 64 place during this qualifying someone on the order of merit will drop off we dont know until the top 64 is mathematically secure

[LittleMissAlexa]

Gilbert has just ssneaksed into the top 64 knocking Liu Song out which means Liu has to win as hes way down on the order of merit Gilbert moving up promotes David Grace to a provisional tour place next season so Grace will be hoping Gilbert does well

[LittleMissAlexa]

how are ties on the order of merit decided? currently Highfield is number 64 and has 3000 David Grace at the moment is the last Order of merit qualifier with 3000

[LittleMissAlexa]

just to clarify i know 64 is enough to qualify but Liam Highfield hasnt secured the 64th spot as the likes of Liu Song are still in the tournament

Wattana 4-0 ahead, now 4-5 down.

[LittleMissAlexa]

As it stands the 8 are 1) Li Yan 2) Adam Duffy 3) Passakorn Suwannawat 4) Simon Bedford 5) Dechawat Poomjaeng 6) Craig Steadman (ex tour) 7) Kurt Maflin 8) David Grace

McGill is Murdering Adam Wicheard here 6-0

McGill is Murdering Adam Wicheard here 6-0

to be fair I think McGuill has the ability to be a future world champion at some point certainly enough to win a ranking event

[LittleMissAlexa]

I think Adam Wicheards being used as a mop at the moment 7-0 McGill

This might be a stupid question but how are they deciding which matches to stream? Would it be safe to assume that the Stephen Hendry (my main interest) match in the final qualifying round will be streamed?

Yes, I think you're pretty safe there.
