I suppose it's a symptom of modern society in general that people no longer have the patience to watch a sport that taxes the competitors concentration and endurance. Watch out for the updated version of chess where every piece is a queen and the maximum thinking time per move is 10 seconds. That sounds so much better than chess. When does it start? And what channel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbullsteve Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Okay guys everybody has missed the point behind this new tournament as there is currently between 10 and 20 player that contest most of the tournaments ie ding,trump,sullivan,Selby, Murphy, Higgins and the other usual suspects a lot of lower ranked players are leaving the game as they cannot afford to stay on the circuit , as this format is a great leveller lower ranked players genuinely stand a chance of winning money and ranking point helping them climb up the ranks and stay in the game . Say what you want about barry hear but it's a fact that every sport he has ever been involved with is more popular now than before including snooker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
