Everyone was obviously unsure what what going to happen, but it has now been confirmed that relegation will happen.
Q School will also take place with 12 winners earning a 2 year tour card.
There is a massive incentive for anyone not currently in the top 64 tho, if you are not in the top 64 but qualify for the World Championships, you earn a 1 year tour card
Obviously the African World Championships winner normally gets a place if that goes ahead in September/October
But thats 2 places extra so if there is no one outside the top 64 who gets to the crucible I wonder if maybe they are being saved for perhaps wild card for Doherty(if he drops off) and one other
Not happy Pagett has a tour card, dont really like him. Cant remember why exactly but comes across a knob on twitter too.
Also a few nobodies, i dont see why they should give some juniors a spot and think it would be better if they went on the challenge tour rather then straight in the deep end. Same with any that have gained entry as they will more likely have better chance to win money, although its good to get people involved i dont think its the best way.

Andrew apparently was in a bad way a few days ago, tweeted that a ruptured Bowel almost ended it all, guessing he means he was close to death
No idea what that was that Allen just put on the rest lol, thought he needed the spider to put the Green but he put a weird thing on the rest and it was enough to lift his cue over the blue and help him pot the Green
