Why cant one of these events be a double start?

[spaceman70]

Why cant one of these events be a double start?

Because they are PC events.

[oche balboa]

But to prepare for the upcoming WGP

[spaceman70]

But to prepare for the upcoming WGP

Most of the people there won't be playing in the GP.

[The Jolly Man]

Why cant one of these events be a double start?

I get what your saying with these but I actually think that mixing a few pro tour weekends up during the year with a double start or set play could a good way to go. Maybe do it for a Euro event.

RVB would be better off being a floater in the draw than playing MVG in Round 2

RVB would be better off being a floater in the draw than playing MVG in Round 2

The 32nd seeding means that he will play the No.1 seed(MVG) in the board final (Round 3) should they both progress, but as a floater,Barney could have drawn one of the top seeds in the first round. Luck of the draw, I suppose.

Remember Ando missing the final event before 2010 World Championship to avoid becoming the 32nd seed at Ally Pally, thus avoiding Taylor, but made no difference as he went out in the last 32 anyway, losing to Ronnie Baxter.

Think moral of the story is that, the more events you play in, the more money you win, the higher your ranking.

Arron Monk?

His time in the penalty box ended in early July.

You mean 'sin bin' Zeyes. Penalty box is where the action is .

Does go to show though that players (even if they disagree with their punishment and the power of the disciplinary committee) will come back once sentence is served.
