If the seeds are listed in order, through all 128, I'll choose Wu as most likely to finish better than his seeded position.;)

That looks like a large list of players, over 300.
Now at 256. It seems there is another Kaçi.

I'm surprised that Matchroom did not provide their usual list which includes countries.

That post is outdated. The one 5 days ago removes the Japan tournaments as well as the Ohio Open:

Similar field to the UK Open, but a few who missed that event because of the European Championships are back, including Souto, Immonen, Konrad J, Szewczyk and a few others.

As was the case in London, I'm guessing the final four will all be Fargo 800+.

Good luck to all these fine players.

Wish there was another option than DaysInn for the US market!
Autocorrect or voice-to-text?

It seems that lots of people are using a VPN service which allows them to appear to be from wherever they choose. I'm really disappointed that the tournament is not on Matchroom.live for which I'm still paying a subscription. They don't seem to have much there anymore.

More like 253. I ran the image through text recognition software. It's a lousy image for that sort of thing, ...
Can't trust software. It's actually a list of 256 = 8 columns of 32, including Mr. or Ms. WAITING LIST. Your software doubled up two names in the 6th column (at your number 181) and skipped one name in the 7th column (Karl Williams).

Neither Bob, just havin some fun with Dazeinn! Not a big fan of only one choice to be perfectly honest. A market as big as the US deserves some competition in the broadcast area, IMO.

It is what it is. Guess I will not watch it live and hope for reruns on YouTube..

If you are in the US it's pointless to be subscribed to matchroom.live to watch pool.

Even if you are wanting to watch snooker, they are on a break now.

It was only on once recently because DAZN couldn't schedule in that event - otherwise pool in the US will always be on DAZN.

Early rounds in big tournaments have been free on Youtube and matchroom.live, but not the finals.

They just signed a further 3 year extension to their previous deal last month.

So.... all the chatter to get Matchroom to dump DAZN was ineffective wishful thinking. Judging from all the boxing content on DAZN this shouldn't be a surprise.

27x800+ in the field which is about same number of any major event these days. Half a dozen ladies in it also
Notable absentees are Chang JL and the top 3 Filipino trio of Biado, Raga, Orcollo :LOL:

255 plus one on the waiting list. I ran the image through text recognition software. It's a lousy image for that sort of thing, and I'm not going to correct the errors manually. Here's the list I extracted to text. It seems there is another Kaçi.
Other Kaci, is Eklent's little brother. He mentioned it on the Doggin it Podcast.
