In the past it used to be around £4,000. Presumbly that is because of what you would've earned for a being a first round loser at Wembley.<BR/><BR/>It's odd because the masters qualifying is a tournament within a tournament. Am I right in thinking that the Regal Masters used to have a similar tournament-within-a-tournament system for qualifying? Did any others exist because none do now, do they?<BR/><BR/>Thanks, JoeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-1163006145332787972006-11-08T17:15:00.000+00:002006-11-08T17:15:00.000+00:00I think any of today's players could miss the blac...I think any of today's players could miss the black under pressure.<BR/><BR/>They're playing the qualifiers at Sheffield to 'try it out' but as you say, the scheduling left a lot to be desired.Dave Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08037719321756898982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-1162922269041359442006-11-07T17:57:00.000+00:002006-11-07T17:57:00.000+00:00Dave,I do understand the pressure the players were...Dave,<BR/><BR/>I do understand the pressure the players were under, but Davis did miss a 'simple' black in the final frame, that I doubt many players would miss today, even under the most extreme pressure. Then again, look what happened to Greg Norman in the 1996 US Masters...<BR/><BR/>I need a question answered (on an entirely different subject altogether): When qualifying for snooker tournaments was moved from Blackpool to Prestatyn I thought that was for good and all qualifiers would be under one roof. So, how come there are some in Prestatyn, Masters qualifying taking place elsewhere, and a new building of excellence opened in Sheffied. Confused? Surely, it'll be a whole lot easier to put the players under one roof, rather than having them travelling overnight, like some probably did last Friday into Saturday.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, JoeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
