English Open 2016

Enjoyed Ali Carter's commentary stint

[Big Splash!]

Nope, I can't clarify why they discussed it with Williams ! LOL

[DeanH]

Can someone please clarify this £1,000,000 bonus they've just been discussing with Mark Williams? Apparently it's awarded to anyone who can win all four 'home nation' tournies, but what are these?

yes a bonus payment if a player win all four "Home Nations" events

English Open
Scottish Open
Northern Irish Open
Welsh Open

[DeanH]

yep noticed the new Quest channel coverage as well as Eurosport for the Home Nations

English Open has not been on the tour before, so ITV never had it before (no one did :wink
ITV4 will be covering the CoC, WGP, SSO and PC, not enough for you? :biggrin:

I think quest is on freeview as well, bonus.

Just a quickie for anyone in the UK who has the basic Sky package that doesn't include Eurosport (that'll be me for one), it's also being shown on Quest (channel 144).

Seems a bit of a random channel to be showing the snooker, but I'm not complaining

Not sure why ITV4 aren't covering it this year?

[DeanH]

cracking red down the rail from Mark Williams - with a "duff new" tip

anyone know the "Tim" commentating with Mike Hallett?

[Neil Taperell]

Sam Craigie and Jamie Jones no shows ?

After my dreadful attempt at trying to predict the winner of the last tournament......i've not going to bother this time !

Hoping for some entertaining matches .
