    Lions Den The top-uppers get thrown right in with the lions, don't they? On the bright side, it appears that the Wuxi Classic Qualifier will be available via streaming! http://www.worldsnooker.livesport.tv/

    Wuxi Classic 2014 Qualifiers

    topping up controversy Controversy has broken out over the calculations of the rankings of the Q-school non-qualifiers, who are eligible to play via the top-up system. "there appears to be some controversy due to the fact that players who were not required to play the preliminary round, would...

    15:40 is all I'm saying https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SfnfsLN4iA compared to 6:40 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_y12sL1oR2s What a difference a year makes! Just watched that last one again, right before Buddy shoots, the announcer says, "Just let your ability do the work." And then...

    Wuxi Classic 2014 Qualifiers

    As esteemed contributor Boro Nut points out, the Wuxi Classic Qualifiers begins this Saturday, May 24th, in the same venue as the just finished qualifiers, and with numerous available "top-up" player spots. So Alex will most likely be in snooker action again this Saturday...

    Alex Pagulayan going to UK to try pro snooker

    Wuxi Classic I don't think Naji's comments can be compared to anyone else's on this thread. Whether Alex makes it or not is not so much a matter of speculation anymore, because it looks like he will get to play pro snooker tournaments as a top-up. So either he wins some or not. I know we are...

    It's obvious Too much! the miss on the 8 in the next to last game is unreal. Trying to scratch over and over, with some success. The 8 to 9 combo is so bad, Buddy actually hits the 8 on the wrong side, to drive the 9 away from the pocket. It takes all of CJ's formidable mental powers to...

    Alex Pagulayan going to UK to try pro snooker

    I like Alex game, but i would not call it talent! I've seen some of your other posts Naji, and you are either completely clueless, or a super troll, or both. I am sure you will come back and say you didn't say what you said, but no matter, if you would not describe Alex as "talented" you...

    Alex Pagulayan going to UK to try pro snooker

    top-up opportunities So Alex would be in the top 4 among possible "top-ups". I expect in most 128-man fields there would be top-up opportunities. The big problem is probably expenses, that is airfare to get there and hotel costs. If you can get there, you can probably play. Who is backing...

    Alex Pagulayan going to UK to try pro snooker

    topping-up Alex won 32 frames in all? Does this put him at the top of the top-up rankings from Q-school? http://www.worldsnookerqschool.com/news I think also the fact that the "Americas" spot is basically dormant, in that Figueiredo rarely travels, should mean that Alex should be able to...

    Alex Pagulayan going to UK to try pro snooker

    I hope he gets some of those invites to tourneys with less than full fields. Also, the current "American" representative, Igor Figueiredo of Brasil, doesn't actually play in many tournaments, because he doesn't have a backer to pay his costs and send him. So perhaps there is an opening...

    Alex Pagulayan going to UK to try pro snooker

    Alex is to be congratulated on a great showing! To clear up one thing, the "Americas" spot is taken by a Brazilian player. So I believe Alex will have as an option just entering pro tournaments where there is not a full field. Maybe Alex will comment later in his blog...

    Highfield must have begun with his usual high-powered (23 year old) game. Did he make some high breaks?

    Alex Pagulayan going to UK to try pro snooker

    Looks like Alex will win game 5 to make it 3 to 2. So now everything depends on this next game. And if Alex wins it, then ... everything will depend on the final game.
