Jersey is part of the UK but not England. It's one of the Channel Islands, which are actually closer to France than England.
This is the first event of John Higgins' new World Series. Other events in the series will be held in Berlin, Moscow, Warsaw with the Grand Finals in Dusseldorf in November.
Each event will feature a mix of professionals and local players.
The first event features John Higgins, Mark Selby, Shaun Murphy and Ken Doherty, plus 3 players from the Channel Islands and Rafal Jewtuch, the champion of Poland.
Steve Davis, Stephen Maguire, Ding Junhui and Graeme Dott have been confirmed for later tournaments in the series.
First round draw for Jersey: Mark Selby (England) v Rafal Jewtuch (Poland) Ken Doherty (Ireland) v Gary Britton (Jersey) John Higgins (Scotland) v Aaron Canavan (Jersey) Shaun Murphy (England) v Martyn Desperques (Guernsey)

It doesn't look like Ronnie's playing in the World Series events but he'll be back when the season gets underway properly in Northern Ireland in August.

John Higgins beat Mark Selby in the final of the inaugural World Series event in Jersey.
There was a surprise in the quarter-finals as local player Gary Britton beat Ken Doherty 4-1.
The next World Series event is in Berlin next month.

The idea of the World Series is to go to places like Berlin, where snooker is popular but they wouldn't usually get to see professional players in action. It also gives the pros some extra tournaments, given the reduction in the number of tournaments played in recent years. As far as I'm aware, Ronnie isn't playing in any of the World Series events though if they turn out to be a success, there's every chance he could be involved next year. Higgins, Maguire, Dott and Murphy are the professional players scheduled to take part in Berlin. If Ronnie retired, he wouldn't stay as world #1 forever, as the world rankings are based on the last 2 seasons. Given World Snooker's sympathetic attitude towards him, they'd probably allow him to take a year off if he wanted and keep his ranking points from the previous season but there's no way he could stay at #1 if he wasn't playing. I don't think Ronnie will retire soon anyway. He says a lot of things but usually doesn't mean them and I think he enjoys the game and trying to further his own high standards, too much. Hope you get to see him next season. That reminds me, World Snooker have announced next season's provisional calendar: 15-17 Aug: Northern Ireland Trophy qualifying (Prestatyn) 24-31 Aug: Northern Ireland Trophy (Belfast) 2-5 Sep: Shanghai Masters qualifying (Prestatyn) 22-25 Sep: Grand Prix qualifying (Prestatyn) 29 Sep-5 Oct: Shanghai Masters (Shanghai) 11-19 Oct: Grand Prix (venue TBC) 14-19 Nov: Masters qualifying (Sheffield) 1-8 Dec: UK Championship qualifying (Sheffield) 13-21 Dec: UK Championship (Telford) 11-18 Jan: The Masters (venue TBC) 21-24 Jan: China Open qualifying (Prestatyn) 3-6 Feb: Welsh Open qualifying (Prestatyn) 16-22 Feb: Welsh Open (Newport) 25 Feb-10 Mar: World Championship qualifying (Sheffield) March: China Open (dates and venue TBC) 18 Apr-4 May: World Championship (Sheffield)

The event in Yarmouth is the Premier League, which is shown on Sky Sports.
It's too early to know if Ronnie will be be there, but as one of the Premier League players, there's a good chance he will be.

Yes, this weekend sees the second World Series event in Berlin.
John Higgins, Graeme Dott, Stephen Maguire and Shaun Murphy are the big names taking part this time and they will be joined by German players Patrick Einsle and Lasse Munstermann, Belgium's Hans Blanckaert and German-based New Zealander Chris McBreen, who will play on the Main Tour next season.
Quarter-final draw: Dott v McBreen Higgins v Munstermann Maguire v Blanckaert Murphy v Einsle

That's right, Ronnie isn't playing. It's unlikely we'll see Ronnie in action until the first ranking tournament of the new season, the Northern Ireland Trophy, which starts on August 24th.

Graeme Dott returned to form last weekend to win the World Series event in Berlin. He beat Shaun Murphy 6-1 in the final. Unlike in Jersey, there were no shocks, though John Higgins was taken to a deciding frame by Germany's Lasse Munstermann. The next World Series event is in Moscow in September.
