Format and Schedule of China Open

[daffie]

G@ddammit eurosport...at least update your website when scheduling in some extra snooker! I just thought...maybe there's snooker on, fat chance really...and there is! Missed from 16:30 untill now...45 minutes. Anyway...8 all now...hopefully eurosport will give us the final 3 frames.

Don't panic, if it goes 8 - 8 "The Force" will surely pit the breaks on.

Yes, he needs some sort of response now. Maguire has taken control of the match with heavy scoring and put Ebdon under pressure not to miss.

[Odrl]

Oh, another miss. Ebdon is definitely feeling it now. But we know Maguire is not exactly the calmest under pressure either.

[daffie]

Btw did I miss much from 4-6 to 8-8 ? Seems to me Maguire has played really well...

Just checking to see whether it's worth watching the repeat at 20:45...

Thanks.

Some way off in a couple of pot attemps from Ebdon. He sinks a long one and gets in now, though.

Yes, it was high quality stuff, a couple of big breaks from both players.

Arghhh!! Thanks though, I'll check out the repeat later on then.

To sum it up, good breaks mixed with unexpected misses that led to shifts in momentum from time to time. I think you may want to take a look if you like this kind of play.

[daffie]

Congrats to Peter for his 300th...that's a big milestone, being only the fifth player ever to do it.

[montoya10]

Congratulations to Peter Ebdon, for his 300th century in competition.

300th... and 4th of the match.

[Odrl]

Tremendous! This was exactly what he needed. He got away with a couple of early misses, then made his fourth century of the match. What pressure now on Maguire, not only is he a frame away from defeat, he also knows Ebdon has not cracked. I just hope the next frame lasts at least 16 minutes.

Maguire amongst the balls now. Midnight finish is all but a certainty now
