Lei hangs in to win 4-3. How did he do it? Roda was a bit unlucky in that tense decider.


Its not quite been the Chinese and Thai cakewalk some people predicted. At least event 1 hasn't been. Whilst I'm not sure how high the level of this Chinese cohort is, its heartening that there's been other nationalities beating or pushing them hard

Yes, the likes of Jefrey Roda and Dhruv Patel have improved a lot since I last saw them.

Actually, the Chinese cohort is quite weak. The young players lack competitive experience. What's been most disappoining is the performance of the Thai players, who have home advantage.

I think some of the better Thai's run into each other in event 2, so this was their better chance

Simon Bedford v Bai Yulu

Bai 1-0


Simon Bedford's claim to fame is in the season Ronnie took a year out it was not strictly true he played one match in a PTC that one match was against Simon Bedford and Ronnie Lost i think it was 4-3.

One step at a time. With someone inexperienced it can all fall apart very quickly, like Si Jiahui in the World Championship.


I think it would be a great achievement to get into Q Tour, and perhaps be high enough on the Order of Merit to appear in a few pro tournaments.

Whatever happens in this Q School with Bai Yulu, she certainly seems to have a huge amount of promise and probably the most potential of the women so far. Perhaps it helps that she's entering these tournaments so young as well.

I've totally forgotten, does the Asian Q School have any impact on top-ups or Q Tour places or is that purely decided by the European one? Do the players who narrowly miss out on qualification on the Asian Q School get anything at all or is simply four qualify?

Last season the top 8 not qualified from aspac got Q tour spaces.

Ah, yes thanks. Unlikely that many, if any, will actually enter?

Yes, they will nominally offer places on Q Tour, and perhaps consider them for top-up places, but in reality it will be the UK Q School which will provide the places. There will be VISA issues as well as the high costs that will scupper off the non-British players.
