[Collumb, Michael]

even though there was live scoring not a lot of people know get it on the front page

[Baillie, Stevie]

Do you mean please!?

[Collumb, Michael]

i say please all the time stevie and i did the first time i asked for the live scores to be on the front page is you check saturdays under 19 thread

you arent still in falkirk are you ????

[Hughes, Francis]

lot a guys turn up the day lol

[Baillie, Stevie]

Only winding you up Mick - Relax.
Big Problem with front paging the results is the amount of time required removing them and putting them back where they should be.
Also, when their is more than one event on any given day, it really does become mega time consuming.
If people use the site they can easily find the relevant sections they require.
Hope this helps.

PS Got home from Falkirk at 11:30pm last night - not bad - I only left home at 9:30am!

[Baillie, Stevie]

Like yourself Frank, that's every individuals decision.
Unlike yourself Frank, some people have real lifes - and jobs!

[Hughes, Francis]

wot on a sunday no chance! they where prob in house with hollyoaks on the tv thinkin am no gonna play stevie for 5 hours get beat 4.3 table £25

[Hughes, Francis]

If Frank was a bit more articulate, he could be making a decent point, it's time draws were done on the day with those present.

and ur so good at it john i wish i was u!

[Baillie, Stevie]

I was'nt even playing, I was TD for the day.
Sometimes serious Snooker can take time.

John - Draws on the day is a massive backward step for the organisation of Scottish Snooker.
It's all about players being able to plan their season ahead and sort out time away from family.
It's been the same every year since I have known, that numbers fall off at the end of each season. It's got very little to do with draws being made in advance.
At least nowadays, with pre-payment, then Prizefunds can be Guaranteed.
Surely a good thing?

[Baillie, Stevie]

At least the way we operate now, means that Scottish Snooker does not have a problem Guaranteeing the Prizefunds. The prepayment method takes care of the shortfall always having to be made up by Scottish Snooker.

The issue of penalising non show Challenger qualifiers is something we have looked at but seeing as we play Amateur Snooker and players have families and other commitments - then I don't think penalties would be the way forward.
Anyone, got any alternative ideas to this?

one I thought of was to hold back their Challenger Prizemoney, wherby it can only be collected at "The Top 64" Event proper!
No show - no payment!
What do you think?

[Thomson, Gary]

I would like the top 16 to be seeded again and 1 round in front .... 16 play 16 the round before that making a tour of 48 (32 seeds v 16 qualifiers)

Top 16 turn up @ 12:30 to play their matches ...... 64 tour is too many for little numbers of players that actually want to play.

Being a top 16 player means absolutley NOTHING at the moment

[McGill, Anthony]

Does anyone know any results?

[McGill, Anthony]

Congratulations, is that James top now?

[Thomson, Gary]

Thats now 5 of the 6 tournaments that I have lost to the winner ....... and every one of them I had chances to win the matches :(

[Cruickshanks, Bobby]

i must have missed that chance u had to beat me mate?

[Hughes, Francis]

well done my boy! thats me made my money on that cheers! unlucky fraser. just win the next one mate!!!

[Baillie, Stevie]

Even if it was Stephen Hendry that had won them all and you had lost the same 5 to him...........you would STILL have got chances.
That's the nature and the skill of the game - Taking Them! ;)

Now updated for The Top 64 following completion of Event 6.
