Imagine if Ronnie act one day on Andre like he has done on Camilleri. Would it affect his love for him?

Thanks Dan.
Andre, how much do u get paid for reffing at an event like this ? As in how much per match and how much for the entire event ? Can u make a living out of it ?
And are there requirements regarding height ?

For the record, I would think it tough on him if these two things come against him. All the refs are sure to have their favourites, they just may be a bit more private about it. Andre is a top guy and very passionate about snooker.
A guy on a football forum I read became a pro footballer (now plays in the Championship) and deleted most of his posts to avoid having them brought out in the media etc.

Yeah, sorry. My fault.
I'm the first to complain when snooker turns into tennis chat.

Tian Pengfei whitewashed Liam Highfield, just a few hours after he did the same to Michael Georgiou.
He faces Yan Bingtao tomorrow morning, almost one year after his shocking win over him in the World's Qualifiers. I can call him a "dark horse" for the final at Gibraltar.

Ken through. Looking very likely he'll be on tour next year regardless of finishing in the Top 64 (4/8 in season list). But having your points reset to 0 and playing the top boys in the 1st round of every tournament is a pain in the backside so he'll be desperate to avoid that.

Good to see that Hamza Akbar is giving Dave Gilbert a good match. He made even a century earlier to close the gap to 2-3.

Doherty should have retired a long time ago.

You can watch other streamed matches.. 2 years ago I was ref on table 2, Peter Ebdon v Tom Ford. I think its still on YT.
And thank you all for the support, I think Cloud described it best... always wanted to be involved in some way, so my passion for snooker led me to that.

I've reffed some top players from the game... Mark Allen comes to mind, Hawkins, Murphy and the great MJW as well.

In what competitions? What age are you Andre, I understand you’re quite young? If you’re refereeing players of that caliber already, it bodes well for the future.

Almost 27.
If everything goes well then yeah, I have a promissing career ahead of me. And yeah, to have reffed those names already is quite good. Many others too.

Might you have reffed one of Ronnie's matches by now, or does one have to pay their dues and work their way up to that...?

It’s the first thing they check in refs. Unless you’ve a Rolls Royce bladder, you can buck off.

Regarding the Tour Championship - What happens if Bingham/Wilson finish on the exact same points for 8th? Play-off the day before?

Tough luck! You go AFTER the match ends. Or if there is an MSI, which isnt the case here and I had a match lasting 3 and a half hours for instance, today one lasting 3.
