Can't really comment - only get to see the BBC events. 
The China matches are a bit of a pain with a 12 hour time difference.
Except when I was playing until 2:30 a.m. I wouldn't watch the afternoon matches. But the 7:30 p.m. matches were convenient entertainment for breakfast.
The UK didn't change to daylight saving when North America did, so for a while only had a 4 hour time difference for a while - a 5 a.m. Eastern start time is really uncivilized.
Tack on an extra hour for European venues, and I really am not interested.
Brazil was good - only one hour time difference.

What are your views on the season overall.I mean .
1.Did you enjoy the extra tournaments ?
2.Did you enjoy seeing new players on the tables ?
3.Did You enjoy the new venues ?
Delighted if you respond with your opinions.
I fully support Barry Hearn..I love what he has done for the game.
I like the shorter matches and I am watching more snooker.
pt..<..hoping for a Trump/Williams final in the world championship.

I don't know how the draw pans out but I really hope that's the case. Still fear Selby Vs Robertson.
I'd say Mark Allen is due, his head permitting.

Thoughts On The Season So Far
Well I thought the new season would be like Judd Trump blasting out the traps like a greyhound from hell but it didn't happen.We got Mark Selby hitting NO.1 then next to nothing for the rest of the season.Shaun Murphy hit a decent patch of form and was worth a view.Neil Robertson came back with a win.Judd posted a win and even Ronnie posted a win mixed in with some new faces on the screen and new winner like Martin Gould etc in new countries,in new venues and some old faces like Steve Davis,Stephen Hendry,Jimmy White and Ken Docherty coming back into view.Yeah the TV times on the matches were a pain in the butt but what the heck everybody around the world had a chance to see Snooker.
