Slight typo at the top:
Deng Jinhong/Feng Yu - Feng Yu

Should read Deng Jinhong/Feng Yu - Deng Haohui

We don't have the most user friendly interface available, so I could have made mistakes here, but I make it that the following 18 players only played the first event:
Bai Yulu
Chen Xiaolong
Ha Li
Ju Reti
Li Chengjie
Li Yan
Lu Guoyuan
Ma Hailong
Pa Ruke
Song Yang
Su Junxiong
Wang Haowei
Wu Jing
Wu Yuning
Xing Zihao
Yang Jiaxin
Yang Shuo
Zhang Yang

And one player is only playing the second event:
Wu Junchi

I'd have to put all the results in a spreadsheet to be sure and I can't be bothered. Do let me know if you spot any mistakes!

Out of pure speculation, reasons for not playing both events could be:
Cost - It's 2000RMB to enter each event (222 GBP) + Accommodation and food
Work/Study - Maybe they couldn't get more time off

Most disappointing not to see Bai Yulu in the draw for the second event...

I'm watching Cao Yupeng v Cheng Sihong.

Cao in with a big break in the first

1-1 now in this match. Low quality second frame.
I haven't heard of Cheng Sihong before and he looks about 28 or 30 ish. Not a great sign.

Although I haven't heard the name Cheng Sihong, he looks extremely familiar. I wonder if I've seen him somewhere before.
LHP, do you have any info on him, like where he's from? It seems incredibly unlikely, but I'm wondering if he plays at the club I go to.

Re: CBSA qualifying Event 2

64 break from Cao, his fourth 50+ of the match. He's looking in good form.
He missed frame and match ball though

2 spots to play for tomorrow. Each player just needs to win two more matches

Liu Hongyu v Geng Mingqi
Zhang Yong v Cao Yupeng


Zhang Anda v Peng Yisong
Fang Xiongman v Zhang Zhijie

The four former pros are Cao, Zhang Yong, Zhang Anda and Fang. I like all of them and would be happy with any of them qualifying.

It would be amazing if Liu Hongyu, Peng Yisong or Zhang Zhijie came through as we'd have some new talent to see. Someone who will have shown they can get past proper pro players.

The only one I'm indifferent on is Geng Mingqi. He's had quite a few goes at Q School already but hasn't been good enough.

Cao Yupeng is the heavy favourite from the top half.
Zhang Anda the favourite from the bottom half, though he didn't play well in the match I saw today, and I wouldn't be surprised if he loses to Fang Xiongman.

My personal favourite of all of them is Zhang Yong. Doubt he will beat Cao though.

Been looking online at how old each player is and found all but one:

Liu Hongyu (17) v Geng Mingqi (21)
Zhang Yong (25) v Cao Yupeng (30)


Zhang Anda (29) v Peng Yisong (19)
Fang Xiongman (28) v Zhang Zhijie (?)

Liu Hongyu, Geng Mingqi and Peng Yisong all featured in the IBSF U18 and/or U21 IBSF championships in 2019. Can't find much sign of Zhang Zhijie except that he played in an Asian Tour event back in 2015.

Geng Mingqi lost in the Q School in 2017, 2018 and 2019 although was only a teenager at the time (best he did was L16 in two of the Q School events).

Thanks Stanley. I didn't realise Geng was so young. I may have been a bit harsh in my earlier assessment!
I'll see if I can do some digging on Zhang Zhijie tomorrow.

Geng Mingqi was considered a great prospect, hence the Q School support, but he hasn't really developed. Like Luo Honghao, he also plays the piano. He's a bit of a colourful character. But definitely an outsider in this company.

This is underway. I've got Zhang Anda v Peng Yisong on. Zhang is looking very rusty.

I've had a look for Zhang Zhijie to find out how old he is. The best I can do so far is a video of a match he played in 2014, in which he looked about 16/17. So my guess would be that he's about 24. I honestly have no idea though

Re: CBSA qualifying Event 2

Bit of a scrappy second frame. Zhang took it on the colours. 1-1

Peng can play. He is very slow though. More Rory than Thep.

Re: CBSA qualifying Event 2

Liu Hongyu the first player through to the final. He beat Geng Mingqi 4-1

Re: CBSA qualifying Event 2

Postby chengdufan

2-1 to Zhang, barring a snooker on the pink. Peng made a 47. Zhang got over the line in bits and bobs.
