I think that is poor. Just imagine thete had been a coyple of challenge tour events left and you didnt enter because you couldnt get in the top 2 but you had an outside chance of getting third in the league table.

Dont like the way they've changed the rule after the event.

I didn't like how they gave Stefanow a tour card last year, seemingly only because he was contemplating giving up the game. I'm sure theres other promising amateurs who haven't and won't be afforded that luxury.

You are missing Stephen Hendry.

Or how about that man who is always walking his dog, a dog which even isn´t existing..? Only in America! AnyTown, USA. AnyTown, USA. Only they can came up with such a "realistic drivel". Could land a wild card also. A man who is always walking his dog, a dog that even isn´t exisiting lol. At least I presented that annual Q School - thing a bit differently now lol. Snookerfan can just watch and learn <laugh> .

You are missing Stephen Hendry.

It is just so tough and difficult to pick up a telephone.

I didn't really edit it. He did use the word "drivel".

I thought we were allowed to delete parts of the quote, to highlight the bit we were referring to?
