Im going the first Sat.
Whens the draw?

Our Billiards league starts tonight.
Handicapped it this year and been proper screwed over ffs

Not sure when the draw is at the moment
How come you're not competing in the Billiards League this year?

I am. Hence having a HC that means wont win many frames

Oh sorry my bad I misread it lol.
Why are you being handicapped for this year?

Supposedly to make it fairer.
We lost 3-0 at home. I had to give a 25 start and lost by over 50

That's unfair I've never really watched Billiards before. Looks interesting though.

Look who's coming into form..... Selby will bore us again... Hope he gets knocked out early at the worlds... Oh.. And good luck Hawkins tomorrow

Selby has had a very quiet season, just the 1 ranking title to his name so far, is he finding form at the right time? I remember last season he had a good first half of season then a very quiet 2nd half, then he ended up winning the last 2 events China Open and World Championship, surely lightning won't strike twice

It better not

Mark Selby will end the season still world Number 1 even if he goes out 1st round of World Championship, it must have been sometime in 2013/2014 when someone else was number 1.

Here are some results of the 1st qualifying round:
Matthew Selt 10- 1 Ng On Yee
Mark Joyce 4-10 Adam Duffy
Mei Xi Wen 10- 8 Basem Eltahhan
Xiao Guodong 10- 3 Chris Totten
Stuart Carrington 10- 9 Nigel Bond
Ben Woollaston 10- 5 Kacper Filipiak
Zhang Anda 10- 6 Zhang Yong
Martin Gould 10- 4 Paul S Davison
Elliot Slessor 10- 7 Eden Sharav
Robert Milkins 10- 1 Aaron Canavan
Scott Donaldson 10- 5 Tyler Rees

The first 2 rounds should be best of 11, then the final round 19, last time I checked Jimmy was level at 4-4 ...he'll be home long before the Crucible..

Ronnie could have a decent run to the semi, a qualifier in the first round, possibly Ali Carter in round 2 then Williams, who he beats regularly, Selby could have Mark Allen in round 2 followed by Murphy n the quarters.... interesting times... can't wait as usual.

Jimmy White leading 9-6

Yes, but he has 2 more rounds to go... I'd love him to get back to the Crucible, he was my favourite in his day, love to see him playing Ronnie in round 1, almost a bye for the rocket! 😂

I'm going to the Crucible in few weeks, it will be a Friday morning 2nd round match. I hope it will be interesting players.

Enjoy..
Hope its NOT Selby...

Jimmy White v Joe Perry next.... Goodbye Jim.

Im Going Sat 21st afternoon session.
Ronny v qualifier or Kyren Wilson v qualifier. that will do

If you have a seat in the middle you get to watch both.

If im on the wilson side might ask them raise the barrier so i can watch ronny

👍😜

Hope Yan Bingtao will qualify.

Liang Wembo made a maximum break and then nearly made another in the same match but misses the final black

Yes, and a maximum at the Crucible will pay out 40k! Plus 10k for the high break
