The final qualifying round is today. Jimmy White is still in the tournament having won 2 matches so far. He faces Tom Ford for a place in the tournament. Crucible star Liang Wenbo is among those to have already won today.

The following players have qualified for the Northern Ireland Trophy: Michael Holt Alan McManus Ricky Walden Judd Trump David Gilbert Liang Wenbo Mike Dunn Andrew Higginson Marcus Campbell Adrian Gunnell Mark Davis Rory McLeod Stuart Pettman Jimmy White David Gray Gerard Greene
1st round draw: Fergal O'Brien v Michael Holt Matthew Stevens v Alan McManus Dave Harold v Ricky Walden Stephen Lee v Judd Trump Michael Judge v David Gilbert Steve Davis v Liang Wenbo Ian McCulloch v Mike Dunn Anthony Hamilton v Andrew Higginson Mark Williams v Marcus Campbell Dominic Dale v Adrian Gunnell Joe Swail v Mark Davis Stuart Bingham v Rory McLeod Nigel Bond v Stuart Pettman Barry Hawkins v Jimmy White Jamie Cope v David Gray Ken Doherty v Gerard Greene
2nd round draw: Stephen Maguire v O'Brien/Holt Mark King v Stevens/McManus Graeme Dott v Harold/Walden Stephen Hendry v Lee/Trump John Higgins v Judge/Gilbert Peter Ebdon v S Davis/Liang Neil Robertson v McCulloch/Dunn Mark Selby v Hamilton/Higginson Shaun Murphy v Williams/Campbell Mark Allen v Dale/Gunnell Ding Junhui v Swail/M Davis Ali Carter v Bingham/McLeod Ryan Day v Bond/Pettman Marco Fu v Hawkins/White Joe Perry v Cope/Gray Ronnie O'Sullivan v Doherty/Greene
Jimmy White was the only player to come through all 3 qualifying rounds to reach the main stages. He won his first 2 matches 5-4.
In other news, there will be an FA Cup-style random draw for the Grand Prix. The last 32 will still see the 16 seeds playing the 16 qualifiers but after that there will be a random draw for each round.
John Parrott will not play in the Shanghai Masters qualifiers as he has a prior charity engagement.
As I suspected, the promised new tournament in the Middle East hasn't been announced.

Finally, World Snooker has announced the Bahrain Championship, to take place in November. It brings the number of ranking events this season up to 8, the highest for four years and there's also the possibility that the Malta Cup could regain its ranking status.
