The new snooker season is underway with the Shanghai Masters qualifiers at Prestatyn. It's been a good start for the veterans. The returning Tony Drago is through to the 3rd qualifying round after beating David Morris, having previously received a bye against Li Hang, who was refused a work permit. Drago plays Marcus Campbell on Wednesday, with the winner facing Judd Trump for a place in the final stages of the tournament. Jimmy White's season is also off to a winning start after he beat Bjorn Haneveer 5-0 in the 2nd qualifying round. He plays Andrew Higginson on Wednesday, with the winner taking on Dave Harold. Less successful were John Parrott, who lost 5-0 to Michael White today, and James Wattana who was beaten 5-2 by his fellow countryman Noppadol Sangnil yesterday. For the first time, qualifying matches can be watched online at www.110sport.tv, for a fee of £2.99 per session. Qualifying ends on Thursday, with the main stages of the tournament starting on September 7th. As ever, the top 16 in the world rankings gain automatic qualification for the tournament (as well as all the other ranking events). Last week saw the first event of the new Pro Challenge Series, a series of tournaments designed to give players more tournament playing time and the chance to earn some more prize money, albeit without the ranking points to go with it. The tournament was won by Stephen Maguire, who was the only one of the top 16 to take part. He beat Alan McManus 5-2 in the final. The 40-man field also included Graeme Dott, Ken Doherty, Judd Trump and Ricky Walden.

No, I don't think I'll bother watching the qualifiers. I'd possibly be tempted for the World Championship qualifiers next year, depending on who's playing.
No idea whether Paypal can be used or not. It looks pretty hard to get much information on that site without registering.

Shaun Murphy has won the Paul Hunter Classic in Germany, beating Jimmy White in the final. 34 Main Tour professionals, including John Higgins, Stephen Maguire, Mark Selby and Ryan Day were in the 180-player field. The event also featured the World Team Speed Cup, which looked like great fun. It featured teams from England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and Holland, plus specially selected teams including a World Champions team made up of John Higgins, Shaun Murphy and Ken Doherty. Global Snooker has a great gallery from the event. (Check out referee Jan Verhaas's attire!)

He spoke about having a break so it's no surprise that he hasn't played any of the non-ranking events since then. Yes, Paul Hunter died a few years ago after a long battle with cancer. The German Open has since been renamed the Paul Hunter Classic in his honour.

Both Maguire and Burnett were released without charge after being questioned by police.
The investigation is ongoing. If either player were to be found guilty of any wrongdoing, then they would probably be banned, let alone lose ranking points.
The start of a new season often sees a lot of movement in the rankings because the points from two seasons ago are no longer counted. As a result, world champion John Higgins will be at #1 after the Shanghai Masters. Ronnie could be anywhere between #2 and #7, depending on what happens in Shanghai.
