Got to a group final of the 900? Surely they aren't saying the two are as impressive? Not to belittle Emma Parker or anything

They've been calling him Lee but I haven't caught a surname.

He is quite painful to watch.

Edit - Googled and it is Lee Richardson

Thanks, the name doesn't ring a bell although he was claiming he beat Judd Trump in a match in Holland during yesterday's commentary.

TK was on again first last night, obviously they see the Stud as the draw and hope people tune in for him and then stick around for what follows. Disappointingly he lost (to Aaron Canavan) though. I only watched the first round matches, Jamie Wilson looked a decent prospect and may be someone who'll make the Tour in the not too distant future.

Jamie Wilson looked pretty raw and green the last few times I’ve seen him. But he’s a genuine natural. Pretty much the antithesis of his namesake Kyren in terms of looking at home on the shot.

If he applies the same hard work as the pirate and builds a bit of consistency in results he’ll become great entertainment value.

Aaron Canavan is the Week 2 winner.

Joe Johnson is the token old-timer in action next week.

Where are the results for this?

Re: The 900

Postby Minimum Break

Some results are on the Snooker Legends Twitter and Facebook pages.

https://twitter.com/Snookerlegends

https://www.facebook.com/SnookerLegends

They don't appear to be making any matches or highlights available anywhere which is quite frustrating if you can't watch live.

I actually haven't watched all that much, but what I have watched has been quite good. It's a much better format than the Shootout I think, although maybe it just seems that way without the mongy crowd.

Matt Ford beats Andrew Higginson in today's final.

Joe Johnson won a game today so will play again in the week's final group.

He's probably the biggest name in action next week too.

I've put some of that 900 I taped for the other night....

It already looks low rent. I haven't even got to a match yet.

They get 15 minutes in each frame.

That is, of course, 900 seconds.

The 79-year old "Silver Fox" David Taylor is playing tonight.

Re: The 900

Postby Minimum Break

Silver Fox wins!

Possibly the lowest standard frame of Snooker ever televised.
