The Canadians

It wasn't a challenge, it was an honest question. I just find it hard to understand why you would seed yourself over players who have credentials and performance histories at the Albertas/Canadians. In pretty much every tourney that I've played in with a seeding system the seeds are determined by the previous years performance or based on ranking points derived through a series of tourneys.

You preach about how you have done so much to benefit the game but abusing the seeding system for your own benefit doesn't seem to fit that line much.

I seeded Tom and I two years ago in Red Deer because we were the two reps in 2007 from Alberta.
I seeded Tom Finstad, Peter Terpstra and Tom Williams at the first event in Edmonton last year and I sat out...because they played in 2008.
You know something....I dont know why I am even responding to this.
I cant read this anymore....I wish all you guys that have commented on this would have played in qualifying events-I will not visit this forum again as it is too hard on the eyes!!!!!!
If you would like to discuss this further or this is really bothering you please call me, and again...I enjoy Snooker action if interested please call me.

No, it's not Bernie. The guy I am talking about last competed in the Canadians in 2000 I think. Quit snooker, should be easy.

I will ask him if he is interested in a set and give him your number.

I know you have another match coming up on the 27th or so (which I will side bet on if you want more action) and am not sure you will be wanting any more after that one is over but as you were told the line to play you is forming, we were thinking about having a "Brad Grierson Qualifier" tourney just to see which person gets first dibs at sending you into retirement.

Just an update, the guy I was talking about came out of retirement for about a week to play the Alberta Snooker Championships and Brad got to play him, Brad did not like it, 4-0.

For the record, you shoot pretty decent yourself. I watched you play the Alberta Championships the year before and if I am not mistaken you got to the finals.

It is good to see Calgary has a slightly growing snooker scene again, I would say these events taking place here now every so often do have a part to play in that, so on that I commend you.
