TSB - India to host pro snooker event next year

[ferret]

It will not be a ranking event, its a invitational event and it looks like the Indian Snooker and Billiards Federation have jumped the gun a little with the announcement, there is nothing official yet from World Snooker.

dont know about who is quitting or how they managed the extra wild card, but its confirmed that world snooker has offered a wild card for an indian player to play on the main tour, the other indian will be aditya mehta who gets the ACBS (asian confederation) wildcard but virtue of being the runner up at the asian championship.

the 6 wildcards for the ranking event in India is totally different, and has nothing to do with the main tour.

is the ranking event in india a sure thing ?

because theres nothing on the WS Website

As someone has already mentioned above, it's just wild card entries to the Last 32 of this specific event, not the tour as a whole.

and other than that world snooker is offering 2 wildcards to indian players for the next main tour,

No... This is just a 'wildcard' for a specific event not the 'Tour' bud...

so if another wildcard is available there's another player quitting/not taking up a place

With 6 wildcard entries i hope our khizzy gets one of them

SUPERLIKE,

world snooke has offered a second wildcard for the pro tour to india, fingers crossed.

[snoopy2608]

hopefully they'll release an updated calendar soon to see where it fits in

[cally]

Ok, thanks for that...

[JanieWatkins]

Yes it's a new event, not replacing anything else

[ferret]

No it will probably be in the slot which The Malta Cup would be in at the start of the month as it is only a (Invitational) 1 week event.

But this would mean that the rumored return of The Malta cup is either not on the cards or set for another date.
