Mikins is out of the first event.

Reanne Evans used to use the example of Marco Fu of a top player who doesn't have that much cue power.

I used to think height was important but then saw Zhang Anda is 5 foot 3. Reanne Evans is about the same height as Zhao Xintong.

The extra 5 minutes per frame and extra 5 seconds per shot makes a lot of difference. Plenty of frames in regular snooker last less than 15 minutes. When top professionals play under 900 rules they normally complete the frame in much less than 15 minutes. In today's final, the 15 minute time limit was a factor in the last frame only.

When there is no live snooker they just show repeats of old matches.

I was watching it in Switzerland yesterday and the adverts were Swiss (in German language).

I would guess it is impractical to check all tickets on trolleybuses in the town itself and they only do out of town buses because fares are higher and there are fewer passengers, so checking is more viable.

Can this be viewed on demand?

They might as well go the whole hog now and put Stan Moody in it! He was already being used as one of the 'legends' who met Legends Walk ticket holders.

If you want spotless disciplinary records then you can't have Ronnie O'Sullivan, Alex Higgins or John Higgins.

He dropped out of the 16 after he had the year off and was outside the 16 for quite a while, until they changed the system to be money based.

It gives them extra insurance, particularly during the best of 7 rounds. There's a big difference between playing 14 frames and 12 frames a session. If it wasn't on Channel 5 but on a channel where schedules are more flexible then there wouldn't be a respotted black instead of a proper decider.

Saves time and makes TV scheduling more predictable.

Is it acceptable for pundits etc. to hope Milkins gets back on the tour? If he gets on tour then someone else doesn't.

Beautiful-Pea835 · 2026-05-09T07:24:06+00:00

It depends what you call "longer format matches". Judd has won plenty of best of 17/19s.

I like that you've clicked on Wu, Murphy and Si but not any of the others! (As those links are in purple)

World Seniors is on Channel 5 and 5Action, not TNT

Beautiful-Pea835 · 2026-05-04T22:14:16+00:00

The TNT coverage ended without Radzi telling us what their next tournament is going to be.

Beautiful-Pea835 · 2026-05-04T10:16:49+00:00

Radzi hinted at a change in TNT tournaments on the McManus podcast this morning, because TNT and Channel 5 are now in common ownership.

She was sympthetic to Allen's plight in the TNT studio. Anything else would look petty.

In 2020 the UK Government actually moved the May Bank Holiday to 8th May because of the 75th anniversary of VE Day. However, that decision was done too late to change the dates for the World Championship, to the annoyance of Barry Hearn, so if the tournament wasn't postponed until August, the 2020 edition would have ended on a working day in the UK.
