I don't actually even blame those feature writers responsible, if I was in their place and knew nothing about snooker I'd probably have done the same (in this case, almost certainly what their editors ordered).<br /><br />Of the two quicker forms referred to, while I believe there is a place in a 48-50 week season for pretty much everything, I think the Shootout has a much stronger claim to be 'the one' in this field than Power Snooker for all sorts of reasons, from the number of people involved through to PS actively encouraging yobbish and boorish behaviour from the crowd. <br /><br />PS were also embarrasingly O'Sullivan-obsessed in the last outing having paid him a small fortune, so it will be interesting to see a) how much they would throw at him this time, b) if he would play, and c) how they would cope if he didn't.<br /><br />Agree totally about Bulgaria, and I hope players get to see the city, as I had a couple of memorable nights in Sofia after a wedding a while back.<br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
