World Championship Qualifying

[Neil Taperell]

7-6 .......the Tornado is blowing

[FOXMULDER]

Why are they streaming Dave Harold when Tony's on a comeback?!

Who selects the streaming is doing a useless job.

[Mr Snooker]

Luca Bracel beats Barry Pinches 10-3, Making Barry's place on the tour in Jerody depending on today's results, another player who as been on the tour for over 20 years and once took Stephen Hendry 12-12 in the world championships, losing 13-12

[Mr Snooker]

Not sure who selects them' Tony is a lot more entertainng then Dave Harold and now the Luca Bracel V Barry Pinches match as finshed surley they could go to the Drago match when it resumes.

Why are they streaming Dave Harold when Tony's on a comeback?!

Who selects the streaming is doing a useless job.

Not sure if all the cubicles are designated for streaming either,don't recall them switching any time this season,could be wrong though.

[The Statman]

I believe there are only two tables with streaming.

I don't know whether it is still the case, but last year a referee was assigned to each of the 8 tables, and the matches were scheduled so no player could have the same table (nor therefore the same referee) twice.

If this principle is still applied, they may not have much choice as to which matches are streamed, because you'd only be complaining that Tony's next match is not televised if this one was (for example).

It is certainly not just a case of picking up the recording equipment and plonking it back down at another table.

Was a ridiculously bad decision in the first place putting dave harolds match on the main table and not dragos.

[FOXMULDER]

Considering the amount of money World Snooker spends on other things, I don't think a camera on each table would be too much to ask. That way, if something dramatic happens - such as a nailbiting finish or a 147 - you could cut to it, or show highlights of it.

This is the World championship after all. They should put themselves in a position to show the most entertaining action at all times - it would be a good investment.

Are all ranking qualifiers definately here next season?Either install all camera capacity or switch to the swsa,they play ptc's there why not ranking qualifiers too ? :-)

[Mr Snooker]

Tony just won frame 14 on the black 57-53 Drago to level the Match at 7-7, five in a row for Tony now let's hope nerves don't get to him

[missneworleans]

Tony loses 7-10 after such a promisng start..and another good guy goes out of the tour...sad
Lui Song came back to 8-9, if he wins Barry Pinches will also go out

[coomsey76]

Agreed sad to see Tony off the tour..!!

Looks like Song has taken it to a decider with Igor.......

[Mr Snooker]

Yes I agree it is sad to See Tony drop off the tour not sure if he as entered the Q school, but he did drop off a few years ago and got back on to it the following season, let's hope he can get back on via the Q school and gurantee his place for the next two seasons, He is just a wonderful exciting player to watch.

[coomsey76]

So Igor wins 10-9......

and Barry Pinches stays on the tour by the skin of his teeth!!

[Mr Snooker]

Dave Harold V Cao Yu peng match pulled off at 9-7 to make way for the evening matches, wonder if that will effect Dave Harold's concentration when they resume on the first avaiable table I persume, also Igor Figurideo
beats Li Song 10-9 from 9-5 up well done Igor Figurideo, Joe Jogia next for Figurideo
