Anyone gonna be watching this next week on the BBC and Eurosport?
Which has seen already Ding Junhui being knocked out 6-2 by amateur Adam Duffy who was ranked 121st for the event and doesn't even have a world ranking. Last year's winner and 5 time champion Ronnie O'Sullivan decided not to enter Odds: Paddy Power Trump 5-1f Robertson 6-1 Selby 6-1 Murphy 9-1 Higgins 12-1 Bingham 14-1 Allen 14-1 Hawkins 25-1 McGill 25-1 Maguire 33-1 Williams 33-1 Fu 40-1 Walden 40-1 Carter 40-1 Perry 50-1 Gould 50-1 M Davis 50-1 Wilson 66-1 Dott 80-1 Day 80-1 Wenbo 80-1 Jones 100-1 Holt 100-1 Selt 100-1 Guodong 100-1 Who do you think will win the UK Championship? |

I'm not a fan of short matches, which means I don't usually watch much snooker apart from the World Championship.

Before 2011, all the matches were best of 17 frames until the final and even between 2011-2013, the semi-final were best of 17 frames. Last year, they decided to shorten the format to 11 frames which I don't agree with and has somewhat ruined the prestige of this tournament.

Yes, before they changed it, the UK Championship was the other tournament I would watch regularly. I agree that it has lost a lot of its prestige by changing the format. Do you know whether the size of the television audience (in whose interests the change was supposedly made)?

Originally it was because to allow for every match in the early rounds to be played in front of television cameras and avoided the need to use two extra tables. But of course, now with the 128-man draw that isn't possible.

£44,000 gone in one shot. |

One of the funniest things I've seen in snooker (not that that's saying much  )

Well done to Neil Robertson on winning his 2nd UK title by beating Liang Wenbo 10-5 in the final.
