Shocked Ryan Day didn't get through that's a major player missing out. Some tough ones to call today should be exciting, hopefully they stream on FB somewhere like normal then I can watch while at work
As ever thanks for updates Paulie, we are nearly there now the big one!
Cheers Paulie, I noticed it on FB today it will be on both again which is good as I work from home..
I think Llang Wembo v Gary Wilson could be a cracker! Tough to call some of them today. KO 11am
Some other interesting ones, I have a 4fold (1 failed) but have a saver thing on it left: Joe O Connor, Wells, McGill - Noppon (out) , another one I did a yankee have 2/4 left Mark Davis + Joe Perry (Day + Hamilton lost)

Just like to add a point about James Cahill a player who isnt a tour card holder, he has now earned a tour card by being 1 of the top 8 on the 1 year list outside the top 64.
To earn a tour card that way as an amateur when you are limited in the events you can play in shows what a fantastic season he has had.
Mark my words he will be a top 64 players this time next year and top 16 in the future
Did he have a tour card before and struggled? I think he was on the tour before dropping off last year and didn't get in via Q school?
agree fantastic achievement getting a tour card (Did he miss out via Q school last year, sounds familiar) Him and Joe O'Connor have both had fantastic season and both ones to watch in the future. There should be a few others but they aren't quite reaching their potential same with some of the Chinese players it could soon be a new era once the golden 90's people retire (Ronnie/Higgins/Williams etc)

Yeah he had a tour card between 2013 and 2017 he reached a high of 76 in 2015 but he was obviously younger and has improved so much since then.

https://www.youtube.com/user/WorldSnookerOfficial
They will be going live at 10.50 today
I also believe like last year it will be on facebook
Cheers Paulie, I noticed it on FB today it will be on both again
which is good as I work from home..

im predicting 4/9 Chinese players to go through today, based on % I think they will win and totalled up to whole numbers would be 4-5
Eg. Llang 50% chance
Yan Bingtao 85%
Yuelong 70%
Lu Huotian 35% (tough draw)
Tian Peng 60%
Luo Honghao 40%
Li Hang 55%
Lu Ning 40%
Xintong 50%
These are all made up guesses based on where I would mark them, I have not bet on them just wanted to put them somewhere
