Shanghai Masters Discussions Thread

Do you think they'll show the final on Sunday or will it be played on Table 4?

Hehe, table 1: trickshots with davis and the gang, table 4: the final

LOL! (Actually they'll show it on Eur2, so it's not really important. They might as well put it on table 4 then.)

[April madness]

Well, even if they had played on Table 2, where could I watch Table 2 anyway? Shanghai Sports are also showing Davis Harold!

I know, but they are playing table 3. what can I say? nothing. either Eurosport failed to negotiate that match played on TV table and the picture transmitted to Europe, or the chinese didn't want to change anything and are happy with that.

you're contradicting yourself - I understood you already bought a plane ticket for Davis to UK.

I can't believe there's only one match you can watch this morning!
Not that I'm not interested, but I'm annoyed I postponed business to sit and watch the LiveScoring!

I thought Day was about to wrap it up, but it's McCulloch 3 - 4 Day now...
Higgins 3 - 1 ahead, I expected more from Selby... I hope he fights back!

[April madness]

I can't watch any snooker for all week... therefore livescores and comments here are my only option

Actually they'll show it on Eur2...

Are you being fecking serious? Please, Maija, tell me that was a joke!

I know what you mean. The only correct table they should have played on is table 1. But table 2 is the LEAST they should have done (disappointing enough). Table 3 is beyond ridiculous!

I'm being effing serious. No live coverage of the final sesh of the final on regular Eur. It will be shown in the evening, from 19.00 or so.

Edit:

Higgins v Selbs 3-2

Selbs pulled one back, with a 60-something break.

I assume they would have expected Williams to be playing O'Sullivan which would have had to have been televised plus the Chinese love Davis but Higgins is World Champion so one of them would have missed out. I still find it slightly strange but people in advance may have bought tickets for each table expecting their match. For example someone bought tickets for table 3 as Higgins was on it and it was moved and they had Pettman and Bingham they would be slightly more aggrieved than us because they purchased the ticket.

Why am I not surprised? Oh well, at least one of the Chinese channels will show it *tries to believe in it*

I am stunned speechless

[Maija]

We need a snooker only channel. This cannot be repeated often enough!

[Nina]

Are we then to conclude this is not exactly the most successful tournament ever in terms of organisation?

They could try and get the people with tickets to Higgins - Selby match to be seated by the TV table then first and then if there are seats and some people would not want to watch Bingham - Pettman match could go and watch this too
