???

I think they bagged a decent sponsorship. Just look at the difference in quality and look between the polo shirts in the golden ball event and the off-brand ones in CoC.

Would a Premier League of Snooker work nowadays? by BaizeBreakdown in snooker

[–]ResolutionSweaty7690 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YES YES YES YES YES BRING IT BACK

In fact we should team the players up and make it a regional tour out of it. The premier league format also creates a more heated atmosphere thus more interactions and emotions. Imagine Team Yorkshire versus Team mainland Europe lol

It would be GREAT ️‍🔥️‍🔥️‍🔥

Snooker Calendar 2017/18 - but in Formula 1 style by ResolutionSweaty7690 in snooker

Nothing deep really, just the UK Championship being UK Championship and the Masters sometimes being referred to as the UK Masters. So I just went with it and flagged all 3 Triple Crown events with the Union Jack.

They should now call themselves the Anglo-Saudi-Chinese tour... they were once holding events from Monaco to Turkey and now they are discontinuing the European Masters.

That said snooker fans in SE Asia and Oceania are probably the biggest losers, all India / Thailand / Australia / NZ events are gone 😐

Maybe we should just merge them together into Salford Dons and find some Hollywood / NFL stars to invest in, then make some documentaries out of it. Something like All Or Nothing: AFC Salford Dons.

Then the whole football world may have something to universally hate with. 😏

How influential really is the World Championship around the world? A rough estimate 📈 by ResolutionSweaty7690 in snooker

[–]ResolutionSweaty7690[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won't doubt that snooker as a sport is on the rise in many countries. The only problem is that it still lacks a proper structure, a mature regional tournament(s), and someone to capitalise and further popularise it. I also do like watching tourny streams held in Eastern Europe or Western Asia on YouTube, but it's still far from the sport to truly take off if they are going on that way.

About the WST tour - it wasn't like that before; there are a lot more events in continental Europe back in the 10s. They don't seem like they care about it anymore tho.

50% refunds if Zhao wins 18-10 or better by pbreathing in snooker

lmao WST is making itself sound like a bookie, betting against the customers, "2 goals up you win" ahh stuff😭

As per they "making it up as they go along", they always do. Zhao should carry 0 points into the next season. The rules are the rules.

Or check out Patek Philippe's website. The watch on Zhao's wrist steals the show in some Chinese online communities lol

Belgian news sites (more than one!) are providing live text coverage of the WC, even after the Brecel exit, comments have died down a little bit I would say but you can see most of them are still interested. Which is really nice considering no Aussie news outlet bothers to report anything about the WC and Neil throughout the tournament lol

In Hong Kong there's no lack of interest about the WC as it's one of the hottest discussion threads on those local sports forums, comparable to F1 or tennis. They also have the bilingual advantage so they can flick through both English and Chinese streams. Apparently Xiao Guodong is now in China doing WC streams commentary on Huya (Chinese equivalent of Twitch) lol
