Just a month after the World Championship finished, the new snooker season got underway today with the start of qualifying for the Wuxi Classic.
Under new rules from World Snooker, any spare places in qualifying tournaments due to non-entries will be made up by the best performing players from Q School, meaning there are some taking part who aren't actually on the Tour.
1st qualifying round:
Thepchaiyah Un-Nooh v Robbie Williams
Aditya Mehta v Sam Baird
Chen Zhe v Pankaj Advani
Tony Drago v Sean O'Sullivan
Luca Brecel v Daniel Wells
Fraser Patrick v Hossein Vafaei Ayouri
Thanawat Thirapongpaiboon v Ian Burns
Zhang Anda v Rod Lawler
Tian Pengfei v Duane Jones
Martin O'Donnell v David Grace
Adrian Gunnell v Ben Judge
Michael Leslie v Paul Davison
Liam Highfield v Michael Wasley
Kurt Maflin v Jamie O'Neill
Craig Steadman v Michael Wild
Cao Yupeng v Joel Walker

What concerns me about this loading up the qualifiers with amateurs is how they afford it if they get to the venues. There's only probably the top 16-32 making any decent living from snooker. I bet those in the 50s and 60s don't even pay any tax their earnings are that low  |

I bet those in the 50s and 60s don't even pay any tax their earnings are that low It's difficult for them, though World Snooker obviously feel if they can afford to enter Q School in the first place (at about £1000 a pop) they can afford a trip to China in the unlikely event they make it that far. Plus reaching the venue stage is worth £6000, which should more than cover their expenses. |

The thing is people will take loans out and borrow to enter Q school then even if the prize money covers expenses then they've got to live and eat. I've read a lot of the difficulties of the people lower down the rankings. I think Hearn eventually wants a Tennis type system but he needs Tennis money to see that vision ! |

Thanks Elmer.
No Ronnie or Higgins for Wuxi. Ronnie has refused to sign the players' contract. He won't be allowed to play in any Tour events until he does.
Their absence means Ali Carter and Andrew Higginson qualify automatically for Wuxi.
Meanwhile, seven of the top 16 haven't entered the Australian Open. In addition to Ronnie and Higgins, Judd Trump, Mark Williams, Stephen Maguire, Mark Allen and Graeme Dott haven't bothered with it, meaning automatic qualification for Carter, Higginson, Mark Davis, Ebdon, Hawkins, Dale and Perry.
It means a bit of changing around in the qualifying rounds with Allan Taylor, Mitchell Mann, Adrian Gunnell, Michael Wild, Fraser Patrick, Duane Jones, Lee Spick, Justin Astley and Jeff Cundy all getting into the draw from the Q School list. Steve Davis is among those who get to enter the tournament a round later than they would have.

Stuart Bingham won the first tournament of the year over in China. Gains himself a handy 2000 ranking points and back provisionally in the top 16.
Onto the Wuxi Classic now, another Chinese tournamant, which is a full ranking event. Starts on Monday.
