Welsh Open 2009 - Discussion

[Forman]

I don't understand why people have a problem understanding the following:

Table 1, 1pm: Ali Carter v Jimmy White
followed by
Mark Selby v Paul Davies

So they are both on the main table

the order of play posted on here originaly had both matches starting at 1pm and that selbys match would be televised, i think thats what caused the confusion.

On Eurosport Player, you have coverage of two tables! Pity I don't have time to watch any!

how well does the eurosport player work? and is it available to people outside the UK and Europe?
id definitely be prepared to pay for it if it ment i had a reliable way to watch live snooker.

Just subscribed to eurosport player....5 euro a month...just to make sure...

It works very well, the bitrate is 1,2 MB/sec which is quite high, and no interruptions. Besides getting Eurosport 1, Eurosport 2 and Eurosport News, you get extra coverage of some events (like all snooker tournaments and most tennis ones etc) which gives you uninterrupted coverage 24/7 of that event, often which choice of tables. For £30 a year it's a complete bargain.

BUT

I don't think it's available outside Europe as of yet. But I'm not 100 % sure.

Edit: Found this on the Swedish website: "Due to licence reasons, Eurosport Player is not available in regions where Eurosport isn't distributed"

Hicks is leading 3-2 and now the coverage stopps. Even one of my favorites is playing, I don't mind. There was one beauty when Stevens played a lefthanded shot. But the rest was just boring.

[Mal]

4-3 to Swail - on the black ball to either be 4-4 or a 5-3 Swail win.

Shame Mark Allen flatters to deceive again, but a good win for Joe Swail and the way Stephen Hendry has been playing a chance to get to quarters.

[João]

What a poor display of snooker in the Stevens - Hicks match.

[bobbond]

where is everyone watching it? anyone got a link?

[Forman]

deciding frame in the hicks stevens match, looks like theres no live streams running so its world snookers dreaded live scoring for me

Nothing unexpected I'm afraid. Perhaps the Allen-Swail match was better, although Allen has failed to impress recently.

Good question..

I was watching it on Eurosport, but they ended their coverage at 4-2, and no streaming after that.

Looks like Stevens just won 5-4, so we only missed the interesting part, thank you Eurosport!

[João]

It seems Stevens won 3 frames in less than an hour, which is quite remarkable considering most of the frames lasted 40-45 mins.

Shame I (and most people probably) missed the real action.

Really? During 'the Masters' Eurosport were showing matches to a finish!
