yup and im sure there are grounds but it really needs to be water tight case.
sometimes players just apply to late and therefore its their fault its not as if they dont know problems with visas exists.

Barry Hearn has responded to the Alexander Ursenbacher withdrawing with a hard nose no exeptions regarding players qualifying and withdrawing will get no Ranking points and no Prize Money.
and he pin pointed
No Exceptions so with that in Mind had Ali Carter played and won his match in Gloucester and pulled out of Wuxi with Lung Cancer he would receive no Prize Money and no Ranking points

There needs to be an arrangement between World Snooker/Promoters/China where at the start of the season players on the main tour are given visa/s to play in China throughout the season.
So, lets say during late may/early june, players should apply for and receive a visa/s that grants entry to play in China between:
15-Jun to 30-Jun (AT1, Wuxi);
24-Aug to 15-Sep (AT2, Shanghai);
18-Oct to 3-Nov (AT3, International Championship);
18-Jan to 2-Feb (AT4, World Open);
28-Mar to 6-Apr (China Open).
From what I have read, it takes a maximum of 10 days (3 days for express service) to receive a visa.
This should be done also for all countries the Tour visits, and for none EU players to play in England.

i don't agree with this decision however i can see why he felt it necessary.
for years Snooker players had the say to buck up this sport and for years they did just that brilliantly. Last season snooker players were again taking the snake hiss so if anyone is to blame its players yet again.

Great 101 break by Robin to go 1-1 against Xiao Guodong
If Robin can get through this one he has a good chance to get to quarter-finals as his quarter of the draw really isn't the toughest there is.

3 out of 4 wins for the Chinese wildcards. Possibly an indication of the strength-in-depth of Chinese snooker.
Disappointed Scott Donaldson lost his game.

Explain to me how Alexander Ursenbacher is at fault here.

some people have short memories who the hell else would you like to be in charge Rex Williams, Rodney Walker etc etc?
for 30 years self interest and ego ruined snooker from one administration to another and Barry Hearn in only 4 years has done more than nobody else in 30 years for the interest of the game as i said i don't agree with a blanket rule on this however your talking absolute rubbish.
to many people commenting on issues they know nothing about if you ask me.

LOL. Sure Hearn has introduced some new tournaments but his meddling nature irks me and a lot of others. Besides the fact a lot of these tournaments, namely the PTCs are tinpot in nature and its a widely regarded fact that most of the pros don't like them. So unless you're a pro yourself (which you aren't) my opinion means as much as yours, so kindly wind your neck in mate.

Robin Hull building on his run to the crucible with a last 32 in Wuxi hes got a long way to go to get anywhere near the top 64 but this is a good start

On the Ursenbacher thing, I initially felt he was harsh done by but then you think why the rule was brought in. Look at his draw, Neil Robertson. Most of the £3000 would go towards expenses and then you've got the jet lag and travel to deal with all when you're more than likely to lose the opening match so maybe it's better to pull out and use the money to live on and prepare for the next event.
I'm not saying that's what he's done, but apparently visa's aren't that hard to obtain for China and the thinking behind that scenario shows why the rule needed to be brought in. The prize for winning the first match is such that it is elevated slightly over other equivalent events to ensure the player has enough money to reasonably cover expenses to get to the venue.
