It looks like Eurosport Player will be showing the English Open Qualifiers.
It looks like to me nobody at World Snooker even informed Eurosport about the Qualifiers for NI Open
Incompetence alive and well at WST.

All of the qualifying matches for the top players have been held over to the main arena.
Still looking forward to the Stephen Hendry v Michael White match though.

I don't know why I told you that.
I think that I thought you meant you were waiting for the English Open to start.
