Rather than - and no disrepect - two local tournaments and the WSA making some 'gesture' to the Snooker Academy in Sheffield. Wembley may even gain more new fans because of said publicity. Young and old.<BR/><BR/>I really feel, like everything they do (the WSA), is to help themselves (financially,) and not help the game.<BR/><BR/>You guys can only highlight this...<BR/><BR/>Thanks, JoeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-65040919633691731462007-02-22T18:10:00.000+00:002007-02-22T18:10:00.000+00:00You raise an interesting point there - I suspect t...You raise an interesting point there - I suspect the decision was made to name the trophy after Paul because World Snooker refused to do so at the MastersDave Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08037719321756898982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-47519548272085755132007-02-22T17:24:00.000+00:002007-02-22T17:24:00.000+00:00Dave,I looked at the website for this tournament a...Dave,<BR/><BR/>I looked at the website for this tournament and I think it could be the 'new' Irish Masters.<BR/><BR/>What I didn't realise, and it is not mentioned on the website, but on it's press release, is that it is another title to remember Paul Hunter by. <BR/><BR/>With this tournament and the German Open, both non-ranking and not even recognised by the WSA, it makes no-sense to put Paul's name to it, if it is only going to get 'local' publicity. <BR/><BR/>But I really like the idea of this format for the three-day tournament. Obviously, if it were to become a WR event, the format wouldn't be like this, but it is one to look out for in the future.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, JoeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
