Not too sure it will or can be changed, but of course it's completely insane! Have a look at this article (Snooker Scene Blog):

Of course it's insane. Still, I can't help but think about the situation the last time they were in China and a certain someone who happened to be the reigning world champ didn't get a TV table...

I also think it's a tad strange that they've decided to put Gunnell v Dale on the 2nd telly table this afternoon instead of Mags v Maff or Hendry v Lee.

[April madness]

mon mr. the greatest

seems like he is playing quite well. at least judging from the livescoring

[Maija]

Ian McCulloch v Ryan Day 0-1
Stuart Bingham v Stuart Pettman 0-1

Higgins and Selby are working on frame 1, John 26 Selbs 12 (on the table, break of 5).

April: Not really all that great so far. Shall we say that there is 'room for improvement'?

[April madness]

ok, waiting for the improvement then. but it's good to see he can finish a frame with 2 pretty decent breaks (ok, just less than halfcentury, but anyway. he's been playing far worse sometimes)

[Maija]

Higgins v Selby 1-0

C'mon John!

Harold hasn't really has much table time, but Steve Davis keeps running out of psish as far as I can tell. I keep multitasking.

[April madness]

the tables slow as previous days? or it's the player's fault?

thanks for any info Maija, very appreciated

[doorag]

What livescore do you guys use?

[April madness]

I use worldsnooker.com livescoring. you can watch also video here: http://www.studavis.co.uk/snooker/shanghai07/
it's just I cannot watch video at work comp

[Maija]

It's the tables, April, the tables! Down to the colours now, at 44-52, so I'm guessing a repeat performance of Steve's last match.

@doorag: I'm using the WSA live score.

Edit:

Higgins v Selby 1-1
Harold v Davis 1-1
Bingham v Pettman 0-2
McCulloch v Day 1-2

[calebk]

davis 1-1 harold
last frame - 52-68

[calebk]

davis 1-2 harold
last frame - 0-88
harold misses 12th red on his way to a max

Why is Dott dog against Ding? I think Dott can win this one! Anybody know if these two have ever faced each other? Surely Dott can trouble Ding. This might be even 9 frames...

[calebk]

davis 1-3 harold
last frame - 45-83
