Yes, if he can beat Marco Fu, Noppon Saengkham and Xiao Guodong in best-of-19 matches, then he can indeed qualify.

Has it gone back to that format now then ? I thought the last qualifying round in recent years was best of 19 and the rounds before was a lot less.

Yes, all rounds best-of-19 now. There were (justified) complaints that coming into a best-of-11 against an opponent who had already won a match or two gave them a disadvantage.
So now we're back to 8 tables and 10 days. I'll be there for most of it. It's a great event.

Probably making it even more unlikely that a qualifier can win the whole thing these days as they will have to have snooker on the mind for almost a month, although not sure what the format and timescales were for Griffiths or Murphy when they did it, could have possibly been more taxing I’m guessing perhaps

2 years list is used.
He will be seeded and enter in Round 2 of qualifiers, so he will have to win 3 matches in order to join Top 16 at the Crucible.
He plays the winner of Marco Fu - tbd in R2, then Noppom Sangkam in R3.and Xiao Guodong, Zhang Anda or Rod Lawler in the last one.

Jimmy’s just beaten Judd Trump, so all of those names should hold no fears for him, or am I being a bit too simplistic?

Think Jim got the odd winning match in him but not a run of 3 or more. His recent victory over Judd was more down to Judds off day than Jimmy outplaying him.Any confidence gained recently my be shattered by a poor start at qualifiers.

Shorter mataches actually favour ol’ Jim, as they’re a bit of a lottery and not really an accurate guide of ability.
If he gets through one BO19, he’ll be dead on his feet for the second, and go down 10-2, 10-3, something like that

I Agree.
His Form at the WST Classic deteriorated, he started well in the first and second rounds he played very well vs Perry But the other 2 Matches he was getting worst every match.

I think it’s less that it’s a lottery and more that it mitigates any chances of fatigue or succumbing to pressure for Jimmy.
