The famed curse you just invented?

Harmless fun and it's an atmosphere unlike any other tournament, the players don't seem to be complaining.

I explain this every year, so I'm probably boring people.

But my problem with this event is it's ranking status, full stop.

Before, it was an event that could be watched and ignored due to personal taste.

I was never much of a fan, but it's existence doesn't bother me.

I do however have a huge problem with the fact that it it's a ranking event. It'd be like World Snooker's annual golf day affecting players rank.

If they made it invitational again, I'd have no complaint.

Bad enough that him, Doherty and Ebdon have the arrogance to play in an event covered solely by Eurosport. They should all be sacked by the BBC and more air time should be given to Dennis and Smurph, who both have the decency to never betray the Beeb.

It is at this point that I would like to confirm this post is sarcastic, for those in doubt/unaware

Yeah I tend to repeat myself too but its true, my main problem is its ranking status.

A thing thats not proper snooker should just be a bit of fun.

I still watch it, but if it was up to me I'd remove the ranking status.

He (14) beat Wattana (49). That's quite an age gap.
