I don't remember hearing it until recently, the last two years maybe. I remember them making a big deal out of Mark Williams holding the four BBC tournaments at the same time (though that was when they were the majority of events on the calendar).Peter FRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10763361951438148478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-81859152504324451162013-12-09T14:13:41.667+00:002013-12-09T14:13:41.667+00:00What they could next year is let players ranked 17...What they could next year is let players ranked 17-64 play 65-112 in the first round before the event, then 1-16 can play their match against 113-128 at the venue, immediately followed by the second round.<br /><br />It still wouldn't be perfect but it would be less cramped and the BBC would still be guaranteed the top 16 at the venue.<br /><br />I'm not so sure about this triple crown thing. If you're British, then fine, they're all on BBC, but the International championship should be as prestigious as the UK, especially for Ding, this years winner, as it was held in his own country.kildare cuemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04689473343816959505noreply@blogger.com
