Just a boring tournament to watch. And -here it comes- I really don't think it should be a ranking event.
Agreed. I'd much rather they have a few PTC events instead of the Championship league. The main issue though is having 2 Championship league's in a season yet again! There is just no need to have 2.

A new one for me.
The ref called touching ball.
Jain thought there was a gap so he asked the ref to have another look. The Ref said they were touching when he called it so he'd have to push the balls together. He then moved the white so it touched the red

happens sometimes if the ball rolls off after touching ball declared.

NO
it does seem anything goes as Ranking Events these days.
There's more Credibility in some of those PTC events being Full Ranking events than this or shoot out
I thought you were disagreeing with me for a minute.

He also plays billiards. He's going to find it very tough on the tour, but he's at least the first Asia/Oceania Q School player to make it over here play a match.
