      <description>With the Likes of Ding Junhui Defending Champion Ricky Walden and Defending World Champion Ronnie O'Sullivan having to play a Round away from the main venue in Wuxi...should some players have a free pass to a venue under a 128 flat system or isn't that a level playing field?

      <description>An amateur like me (regular 25-35 breaks) comes up against a pro in a comp played off levels. What is the best way to play them?

would you try and pot a red then send the colours to the baulk cushion so that the better player can't do much? Or do you try and punch above your weight hoping you either exceed your best performance, or dying a valiant death?

      <description>Before Barry Hearn took over, we had between 6-8 tournaments a year. Thus with the 2-year ranking list, anywhere between 12 to 16 tournaments were used to determine the rankings.

This season alone, we have 25 ranking events. So with the 2 year ranking list now nearly composed of 50 events... isn't it time to switch to a 1 year ranking list?

This would make players compete at their best all year...</description></item>

      <description>Just a thought, do you suppose with the EBSA European Championship finishing 6th June and the European Tour event in Sofia being 7 - 9 June, a place has been reserved for the European Champion at the European Tour event and travel arrangements put in place for whoever wins?
