I know I've harped on before about promoting the EPTC's prizemoney and rankings above the Sheffield ones, but an addition of 25k to each EPTC and 10k less to the British ones, would have a nett cost of only 60K.<br />With a similar change in ranking points and a 20k first prize, the EPTC's would become medium rather than minor events, and the Sheffield events would offer lower ranked players an opportunity.<br /><br />Some might say that the EPTC's would have too high a tariff, but they would be virtually a ranking tournament by then anyway, and would still only be worth about a third of the Chinese totals, which should carry the same points as any other best of nine ranker.<br />Obviously the world championship points need to be increased as well.kildare cuemannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-56556766927173257592011-09-29T19:30:54.782+01:002011-09-29T19:30:54.782+01:00Is there going to be a 'Hendrycard' round ...Is there going to be a 'Hendrycard' round at the Masters?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-83106266136110229172011-09-29T18:05:29.801+01:002011-09-29T18:05:29.801+01:00Lets hope its a success.

Echoes of Brazil again though with so many big names missing as snooker tries to crack a new market which is dissapointing. <br /><br />Is it merely concidence or is there a reason why so many big names have chosen to skip this event?<br /><br />The live streaming picks to date seem to regularly feature the old legends like Drago, Jimmy and Davis who are popular, Eastern players to cater for that market then the top 16 players who have attractive matches on paper. I guess this is a fair balance shown to date as it ticks most boxes. <br /><br />In hindsight its easy to be annoyed at one sided matches being shown as most are predictable 4-0s beforehand but i guess the big names have lots of fans wanting to view their games, plus theres always the chance a shock result might happen which would be a shame not to be caught on camera.Witz78noreply@blogger.com
