Listed for Sky Sports 3, 1pm Saturday. I can't believe it Bazza, I told you something you don't already know. That must be a first lol

"A spokesman for World Snooker said: “The success of the World Seniors Championship has grown year after year and we have decided to lower the age limit to give more top stars and fans’ favourites the chance to enter. It will be fascinating to see who takes up the challenge and it seems sure we will have the strongest ever line-up for the tournament."

Maybe they can lower the age to 20, to get all the fans' favourites in? lol

Ha, you never know lad

did it not used to be? and then they lowered the age?

I think they did, just so Hendry could enter one year.

[SnookerFan]

I went and watched a few matches of this when it was in Portsmouth. Never made final day though.

Good laugh, but nothing more than that. Not to be taken too seriously as a tournament.

They should make it that you have to be 50 or over.

some of the Tour-Pros had to qualify; and all the old names from the past were mostly knocked out in the quals in December.
Not sure what the criteria for not needing to qualify was, but several of those above did not have to qualify.

Hendry, Davis, Chaperon, did not enter.

Was thinking more of the unknown Ex-Pro's who used to enter the qualifiers , rather than the Main Tour pro's who enter the qualifiers now .

[scottley]

Steve Davis? Stephen Hendry? Errr Bob Chaperon? Lol.
