Please refer to the calendar for seeding cut off dates. • Players losing their first match will receive prize money in full however this money will not count towards the prize money rankings other than in the World Grand Prix and Players Championship. Players who qualify for the final stages of an event but do not subsequently attend that event, for whatever reason, will not receive any prize money, nor will they receive any contribution towards the prize money rankings for the event until the situation has been considered by the appeals committee who may, at their absolute discretion, allocate ranking points where it can be demonstrated that there are extreme mitigating circumstances. These points will be allocated from the date of the committee meeting and will not affect previously issued draws. • Winners of a pre-qualifying round will receive half of the Last 64 round prize money and this WILL count towards the prize money rankings, but this only applies to those players who then lose in Round 1. Players winning a pre-qualifying round and then winning further matches will be paid the prize money as outlined for that round in the prize money breakdown. • Players who finished outside of the top 64 in the 2018/2019 season but regain a tour place by any means will start on zero prize money. • At the end of the season players on equal prize money will be ranked according to the most prize money earned in the last season. Should this not determine positions, prize money in events working backwards from the World Championship 2019 will be considered. Finally, if still equal, frames won in losing final match would be used from events working backwards from the World Championship 2019. 18/07/2018 .

  • Mark Davis Interview Lula: Please Tell Us About Your Performances in This Year's German Masters Against Niu Zhuang and Ryan Da
    Mark Davis Interview Lula: Please tell us about your performances in this year’s German Masters against Niu Zhuang and Ryan Day. Mark: I started off very slowly in this year’s German Masters, but after the first two frames of my 1st round match, I started to play a lot better. I was disappointed to lose my 2nd round match to Ryan, but it was a good match, and we both played pretty well. You have played on the TV table in the Tempodrome and as well as on table two to five. How do you feel about the set-up? (the lighting situation, the distractions …) I haven’t played at the Tempodrome for around 3 years, so not sure how the set up was then. The lighting was a bit of a problem, as the TV table lighting was going over to the other tables. But apart from that, I think the set up is great, it is one of my favourite venues on tour. The crowd are always very good, and I enjoy playing in front of them. You had a good run in the Snooker Shootout recently. What do you think about the tournament? The shootout is a very different event from what we normally play. But I think it is something the players enjoy, it’s only once a year, and I think to have an event like that once a year is no problem. I had a good run to the semi finals this year and enjoyed the event with crowd getting involved, etc.

AuthenticBy S MankadAuthentic, insightful, funny and sometimes tragic. I was a snooker a follower back in the 80's and this autobiography gives a window behind the scenes for one of the highest profile players. Jimmy White, to me, presents a candid and honest account of the highs and low in an entertaining and thought provoking way - the chapter on Alex Higgins was brilliant, funny and tragic all at the same time. Overall the book is very authentic an i would recommend to anyone who follows snooker or is just interested in human nature and the events and people that shape us as we moved through life.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. seems like a happy go lucky chap with extraordinary talentBy Michael O'BrienJimmy has lived an extraordinary life, seems like a happy go lucky chap with extraordinary talent, which he unfortunately didn't make the most of, but he has impressively made peace with it all.and.is grateful for what he has.This is more revealing than I expected, with lots of interesting stories about snooker, family and celebrity life.

  • Snooker Superstar
    Snooker Superstar 1 Snooker Superstar 台球巨星 Star Profile – Ding Junhui 新星简介--丁俊辉 Read the text below and do the activity that follows. 阅读下面的短文,然后完成练习: If 2005 was the year that Ding Junhui exploded onto the international snooker scene, then 2006 could be the year he becomes a legend. Ding fulfilled his potential in a nail-biting confrontation with Steve Davis in the final of the prestigious UK Championship last December. He defeated the six-time world champion by 10 frames to 6 in a thrilling final at the Barbican Centre in York. In defeating Davis he has already secured a place in history as he is the first ever player from outside the British Isles to win the UK Championship. Having won his first prize in competitive snooker at the age of thirteen, Ding is unquestionably a precocious talent. It seems that he has now matured into a world-class player – “It was only a matter of time before he joined the world’s elite”, says Steve Davis. Ding’s talent has been developed by his father, Ding Wenjun who became aware of his son’s remarkable abilities when he was just eight years old. Ding Wenjun explains, “When I was playing with my friends, he was attracted by the colourful balls and would play by himself on another table for a whole day”. Many years of hard work and sacrifice followed as Ding’s father gave up his business and moved to Dongguan in order to find better training facilities for his son. Both father and son lived in cramped conditions, sharing a five- square-metre room adjoining the local snooker club.
