This is great news, although it does look like for us in America, the stream will only be up to the semi-finals (or quarter-finals). The information is a little contradicting.

Here's tomorrow's match schedule. Remember, FB Live will be showing both tables, and all you need to do is like this page https://www.facebook.com/WorldSnooker1/

All times are Eastern Standard. The match in blue is the one I think will be the best.

5am - Mark Selby v Fergal O'Brien
5am - Anthony McGill v Stephen Maguire

930am - Ronnie O'Sullivan v Gary Wilson
930am - Kyren Wilson v David Grace

2pm - Mark v Fergal (2nd session)
2pm - Anthony v Stephen (2nd session)

Lol, I believe it means territory in the sense of broadcasting territory. Having said that, yes you are a territoty snooker-wise, just like the UK is in terms of "real" (my opinion, others will quite fairly disagree) pool - maybe if the 8 ball world championship had come to Cardiff back in the day, and/or the Mosconi cup had focussed on this version of the game, it might have had a better to chance to make a comeback in the pubs on 7 fters.....

Crazy that Ronnie is seeded 12.
Selby #1 seed, Trump #2, Ding #4 , Robertson #9
But bookies have Ronnie as 3rd favorite
Judd Trump is top favourite at 7/2 with defending champion
Mark Selby 2nd favorite at around 4/1.
Neil Robertson and Ding Junghui around 12/1.

I just hope Selby does not repeat and win this year. His play is so negative
I like Ronnie, Ding or Robertson :)

But you're not watching the event live?

I can't get this Facebook crap to work, so spartan's post is a godsend. VPN needed though.

I was watching what said live on YouTube but it's garbage now, ya I see no live video on fb either

YouTube is full of "live" streams that are indeed streaming live, but aren't.

Facebook showed the current match "live" for a whole minute.

This is the first year without my live snooker sub and I realize now how good it was. All this jumping around through streams- it's annoying.
