ROS "yeah, he played well, probably the best of the ..., and that other guy..."

[DeanH]

Indeed. They are slowly rising these young Chinese stars, I did find it slightly weird Ron just going to shake his hand? Not like the kid was gonna say I want to play for snookers but didn't have any choice...

Yuan conceded, just before ROS turned to shake hands

[Cue crafty]

Fair enough, I missed that.

Sponser is 19.com. Who or what are they? Another betting company perhaps?

Yep, on-line gambling company. Their website says "in partnership" with TGP Europe who run casinos.

Dominic Dale gets a 4 -1 victory ! Brilliant , I'm chuffed

[DeanH]

well done Holt, 4-1 against MJ Williams

[Cue crafty]

Yuan conceded, just before ROS turned to shake hands

I know he was a long way behind, but do you think there is an element of the apprentices wanting to impress the "master" as oppose to beating him....?

[neuronic]

I still don't like the BO7 format...

[Delphi]

Seems to be a rule i didn't know, ad some point Judd had a free ball, pots yellow after and the yellow isn't put back on it's spot, and he goes on clearing the colors..
If the free ball counts as a red, doesn't yellow have to go back on it's spot?
There were no reds left on the table.

if they were no reds i think free ball counts as a yellow but how did he get freeball with yellow being potable ?

If i recall correctly the opponent was snookered, missed and Judd got a free ball cause he couldn't reach the yellow on both sides full ball.

Yeah now that i write it myself it was correct, free ball counts as yellow, after that he potted yellow , green and so on

Frame 1 JT 46 v 38 DW
No Reds on the table, Yellow ball on, Judd plays the Yellow, puts it into the baulk and snookers Daniel behind the Blue.
Daniel misses the Yellow and the Cue Ball ends down by the Black spot.
The Brown stops the Cue Ball hitting the Yellow on one edge (nothing about "Full ball - that is for a Miss ); Cue Ball cannot hit both extreme edges of the ball on so Free Ball option given.

Judd takes the Pink (off the Black spot) as the free ball, scoring 2 points, the Pink is spotted. The Cue Ball travels up to the baulk and Judd clears the colours.



You seemed to have missed Judd using the Pink as Free Ball; so the Yellow was not the Free Ball and so was not spotted after being potted.

[Neil Taperell]

World Snooker showing the Sam Craigie v Ricky Walden match as 4 nil to Ricky already ?

Just read that Sam Craigie overslept and missed the match ……...are you kidding me !!!! That is very poor , and fined by World Snooker as well .

He should have phoned Neil Robertson immediately and asked him to drive him over

He would have driven him the wrong way …….so that wouldn't have helped
