* denotes final session of the match

Matches played from December 13-16 are played on a rollon/roll off basis. There will be a 15 minute interval between matches. The 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th matches on these days will not start before 3pm. Evening sessions will not start before the time indicated on the format.

Tables numbers for all matches up to the quarter-finals will be determined by the Tournament Director the day before.

All matches up to and including the semi-finals will be the best of 17 frames (8/9) and the final will be the best of 19 frames (8/11).

EDIT: I think that's it. It's a little confusing to do.

[Rane]

How many tables are shown on tv ?

[JiangYu]

How many tables are shown on tv ?

On Sky TV, there are two I think.

[Valderie]

Thanks so much for the Order of Play - very much appreciated.

[superaussie]

i think the order of play from this article is slightly wrong

Carter/McCulloch v Ebdon/Higginson starts on tuesday at 1.30 pm and not monday 7.pm

and

King/Trump v Hendry/Lee starts on monday at 7.pm and not tuesday 1.30 pm

that is info i got from the world snooker website

[JiangYu]

All fixed - sorry. First time doing this - very confusing

[JiangYu]

I'm guessing the Ronnie and Day match would be televised.

[JiangYu]

Updated with the transmission times.

[Ellena]

Updated with the transmission times.

Thank you very much for that.
So first session of Ronnies match wont be on ES..
Live streaming anywhere?

[João]

Finally no tennis in the way. :snooker:

[RocketRoy1983]

Superb!! Thanks ever so much for this thread.

[April madness]

Finally no tennis in the way. :snooker:

yep, this time it's skiing, biathlon and ski jumping

I hope the eurosport player will show the afternoon session too, not just evening session. Otherwise I am not sure whether there will be any live streaming of it anywhere else than BBC website, which is not available outside UK.

edit: ah, looks like there will be stream available from 2 tables on the Eurosport Player. Nice.

[MalJackson]

i still dont understand the order of play

any new matches starting at 3.30pm? uk time

[davidhawkes]

Livestreaming

As I am in the UK, I will be watching on the BBC.

For other countries, check this link:

Don't forget the button at the bottom right of the video to enlarge it to full-screen mode.

I do not know the quality, as Eurosport is normally the best.

[Sunflower]

Thanks, david. It's working for me. There's a sports discussion on, but snooker is announced for 1 p. m, which means 2 in Germany.
