Disappointing that Sean O'Sullivan, in pole position to earn a tour card (Si Jiahui having already obtained his), receives no reward for his performances so far on QTour and is obliged to play two qualifying rounds.

think it's determined by the q school order of merit from last year ain't it. o'sullivan had a bit of a mare losing early in all three events, including to a certain tony knowles!

all a bit silly given the effect that the random draw has on the outcomes of q school.

Sean O'Sullivan out in the qualifiers having been beaten by Patrick Whelan. A nervous wait for him to see if he has a tour card then.

good news for o'sullivan's chances, as michael white and david lilley have both lost first round.

there are a few players who could usurp him but only with a tournament victory
Ben Mertens, Julien Leclercq, Alex Millington, Harvey Chandler, Daniel Wells, & Simon Bedford

That would appear to explain why Sean O'Sullivan had to qualify.

Strangely, though, Daniel Wells and Simon Bedford, having played qualifiers in the first three events, were both elevated directly into round one in Leeds.

Quarter finals:
Michael Georgiou v Simon Bedford
Robbie McGuigan v Hamim Hussain

Alex Clenshaw v Brandon Sargeant
Michael Collumb v Liam James Davies

Young Liam Davies has done very well, having come through three qualifiers then beating a couple of former pros Si Jiahui and Lawler.

Bedford can pinch the automatic tour slot with overall victory. And all of the above have secured a place in the play offs for the second card.

Sean O'Sullivan has Simon Bedford standing between him and a place on Tour.

Both been there before Simon turned pro in 1995 a year after Sean was Born.

Simon Bedford last pro match was in the 2013 UK Championship 9 years on can he come back?

From 3-0 down Robbie McGuigan beats Simon Bedford 4-3 to reach the final and in so doing gave Sean O'Sullivan a 2 year tour card.

Simon Bedford had a 100% pot success and Maguigan 99%

Michael Collumb v Robbie McGuigan for the title

Both finalists Collumb, and McGuigan, have earned themselves places at the Crucible qualifying from the Q tour rankings. As have O'Sullivan, David Lilley, and Ben Mertens.

The sixteen who have earned the right to compete for the second tour card via the Q Tour play-offs are:
David Lilley
Ben Mertens
Michael Collumb
Robbie McGuigan
Simon Bedford
Michael White
Julien Leclercq
Alex Millington
Alex Clenshaw
Harvey Chandler
Daniel Wells
Brandon Sargeant
Liam Davies
Alfie Lee
Michael Georgiou
Hamim Hussain

As we know there are all sorts of sanctions put on Russian people and Anton Kazakov could be affected with that hope not hardly his fault what's happened he's won a place on tour and he's in this season World Championship

kazakov is ukrainian, no?

ivan kakovskii is the russian player. he was way down the q school order, so don't think he'll be likely to attend anyway.

young robbie mcguigan wins 5-3, having been 2-0 down!

if Michael White qualifies to the Tour via the 1-year list, his place at the Q-Tour play offs will be taken by Ryan Davies.

play-offs will be 10th-11th may at the q house academy, darlington.

If both Michael White and David Lilley get fresh Tour Cards (by qualifying to the Crucible or the 1 year list), there will be place for the Q-Tour play offs not only for Ryan Davies, but for Mark Lloyd too.

Now that White and Lilley are confirmed pros for next year, the Q tour play-off draw is set.

Robbie McGuigan [1] v Mark Lloyd [16]
Harvey Chandler [8] v Daniel Wells [9]
Julien Leclercq [5] v Alfie Lee [12]
Simon Bedford [4] v Michael Georgiou [13]

Michael Collumb [3] v Hamim Hussain [14]
Alex Millington [6] v Liam James Davies [11]
Alex Clenshaw [7] v Brandon Sargeant [10]
Ben Mertens [2] v Ryan Davies [15]

Eighth and quarter finals to be held on 10th May, then remaining rounds on the 11th. All matches best of seven except the final which will be best of nine.

and also some more byes in Q-School when one of these qualifies for the tour. Be great if Ben or Liam win. But probably be Georgiou or Bedford

Leclercq knocked in 3 centuries (130, 120, 116) to beat Alfie Lee 4-0. He's the first through to the play off quarter final.

4 50+ breaks from Liam Davies in his 4-0 win. McGuigan also through 4-0; no 50s.

mcguigan and liam davies through. good start for the young'uns.

Collumb wins 4-2 from 2-0 down. Made a century.
Ryan Davies beat Mertens 4-1. Made a 139

Chandler (27) the only previous professional remaining. Clenshaw (20), Leclercq (19), or Davies (15) would be making their tour debut.

Coincidently Davies and Clenshaw have been drawn together in the second Q school event.

To my mind, Clenshaw is the least heralded, but that may be my ignorance!

Liam Davies best in the 4 Q Tour was Quarter Final in Q Tour 1 and 4 and now hes a Play Off Semi Finalist

Leclerq's impressive form continues , races into a two frame lead with couple of seventy breaks.
