Snooker with a 10-second shot clock?
- Thread starter Bob Jewett
- Start date
Mark Selby looked really uncomfortable in his last match. This event is huge for a lot of these "small name" players as it's 50000 ranking points if they win.Final day starts in about 20 minutes (7pm UK time) Mostly small names left in last 16....
50,000 points is huge. 50K put winner in top 70

Which means they should qualify for following year since around 120 players each year

a one frame match is a bit of a lottery. still, the two big names + vafaei played far better than the rest. i expect one of them three to win
and vafaei won convincingly. even though this is a freak tournament were first time ranking event winners usually don't go on to win many other ranking trophies, in this case i'm certain there will be more to come. his ranking (and sometimes the betting lines) belies him.
