He won one, he won one!! Whew!! It was brutal to watch errors and all but he won.
They both looked completely bored and were dogging.
Not sure on the excitement factor of this presentation.
Sky came out to watch SVB yesterday and was wearing a neat Busch Light shirt and livened up the environment. Maybe MR should make him sit in on all the matches as background.
Not used to the silence. Don't mind the canned applause they had last year at one of their first events in bubble.
I want to know where those GCs are!?! The one I go to has vinyl covers. Helps with spillage.They should throw out those little baby chairs

Na, I like the format. Make them earn their winnings! It is a game after all, most of schedule time to play it for enjoyment...I don't feel sorry for them (that's the career they chose). It does probably favor the youngens though.
Instead of eliminating 6 players after 5 days, they should make it more exciting by eliminating the player at bottom of table everyday. That is what made last year's format exciting cos they eliminate 1 player every day. But last years format was also unfair cos they add 2 new players every day so the players at added on last few day of stage 1 were at big disadvantage compared to those added in first few days.
I think we will see a lot of changes to this "Premier League" over the next years, if Matchroom decides to stick with it.
If you look at Darts, you get a good perspective where Matchroom is aiming at.
Weekly events with just a handful of players and a different location every week.
That said, Matchroom tried to establish a Snooker Premier League and this format never gained the popularity they wanted.
Anyway, I think 2022 will be very important year for pool. If Matchroom gets the attention they want for their events, pool will be on the same path as Snooker in one or two years.
But if viewer counts go down or fan attendance is low for their tournaments, they will drop out again and pool will suffer the same stagnation as it did in the past decade.

One recommendation I’d give the producers is to include in the graphic the win loss record and their current position on the table at all times. It helps the casual viewer understand the stakes of the match (if any). Especially if they are like me, dropping in and out during the day. Their current ranking on the tour is much less important imo and could probably only be displayed occasionally.
I saw that, I also saw SVB come sit behind Sky when he was playing on table 1 yesterday. Love seeing the boys have each other's backs!
