It's a shame this match isn't being streamed. I can understand them choosing Trump's match given his current status but taking the importance into account, this was the match of the round... I was watching on Eurosport earlier but am doing some work on my PC so have Haven open and WWW Snooker website with livescore on

Goodness gracious. Ronnie owes Anthony Hamilton a pint or two if he pulls this off !! Although of course Ricky Walden still has a sniff after Xmas !

I think you're undermining Ford's 4-1 thrashing of Trump.
Tom Ford I saw at Barbican and he looked awfully nervous. If he can continue what he did today he is well on his way to a top 16 next season.

Who's undermining it. I watched it earlier and Tom Ford played extremely well.
MrH was just referring the the status of Mark Davis' match that if he wins he will be in the top 16 for the next period and Ronnie O'Sullivan will be out. That's a really significant moment in the history of snooker and for both careers !!

Ford wins it 4-3 to earn his second PTC title. The first came in PTC3 last season.
That moves him upto 26 in the rankings. He has the potential to be a very good player and has been steadily rising up the rankings in the last few years, but as Paddy hinted, he's struggled in front of the TV cameras so far in his career, with only one quarter-final appearance in a proper ranking event.

Least he only has to do one qualifying event for tourneys now. I will stick my neck out and say he will next season be getting through to 1/4's of UK champs. He just needs to stop with the silly mistakes like missing the green everytime he is clearing up the colours!

Stephen Maguire has won PTC 12, beating Joe Perry in the final.
Ricky Walden was knocked out in the quarter-finals, meaning Ronnie O'Sullivan just manages to hang on to his top 16 place, until the next cut-off which is after the Welsh Open.
Qualifying for the World Open starts on Wednesday, then the Masters begins next Sunday.

I honestly think Ronnie will be in the qualifiers next time round. He's only got two tournaments to bail himself out so he needs a couple of quarters or a win in one of them to haul himself back in to the top 16 for the next cut off point.

World Open qualifying took place this week. The following players qualified, joining the 16 automatic qualifiers in China at the end of February:
Marco Fu (147 in his qualifying match) Jamie Cope Sam Baird (won 4 matches to qualify) Robert Milkins Barry Hawkins Marcus Campbell Dominic Dale Stephen Hendry Mark King Tom Ford Jimmy Robertson Andrew Higginson Ricky Walden Joe Perry Michael Holt Nigel Bond
Walden's qualification puts Ronnie's top 16 place in further jeopardy, though Mark Davis failed to make it, losing 5-4 to Baird.
The Masters starts today at its new venue of Alexandra Palace in London.
1st round draw: Ding Junhui v Ronnie O'Sullivan Judd Trump v Stuart Bingham Neil Robertson v Mark Allen Mark Williams v Stephen Maguire Mark Selby v Stephen Lee Shaun Murphy v Martin Gould Ali Carter v Graeme Dott John Higgins v Matthew Stevens

Re Ricky Walden the world open points don't count until the next cut off bizarrely. It's only the Welsh and the German that do.
Stuart Bingham for his great start to the season has now slipped to provisional 16 and is in danger of tumbling himself !!

Re Ricky Walden the world open points don't count until the next cut off bizarrely. It's only the Welsh and the German that do. I'd forgotten about that. A bit silly really but I guess it's a consequence of shoe-horning the World Open into the calendar mid-season.

Here is the seeding list after the 2nd cut off of the season. This will determine the seedings for the German and Welsh opens. Strangely the qualifiers for the German were based on the last seedings list but no one from the top 16 dropped down otherwise they would still be in the German open main draw.

This is the provisional seeding list which is the start of the period which will culminate in the Welsh Open. After the Welsh the seedings will be worked out and that will form the list for the remainder of the season. Note Ronnie O'Sullivan provisionally at #18.
Just a note that the qualifiying results for the German open are added on but not the main draw yet so the list is slightly skewed at the 15-20 point.
1 Mark Selby 68845 2 Mark J Williams 63920 3 Neil Robertson 57440 4 Judd Trump 57385 5 Shaun Murphy 54785 6 John Higgins 54580 7 Graeme Dott 49505 8 Ding Junhui 49440 9 Stephen Maguire 47860 10 Mark Allen 47165 11 Martin Gould 46320 12 Ali Carter 45600 13 Matthew Stevens 42515 14 Stephen Lee 41375 15 Ricky Walden 41130 16 Stuart Bingham 41115 17 Mark Davis 40875 18 Ronnie O’Sullivan 38740 19 Andrew Higginson 37545 20 Stephen Hendry 36390 21 Jamie Cope 36070 22 Marcus Campbell 36055 23 Marco Fu 35335 24 Barry Hawkins 35315 25 Joe Perry 34710 26 Peter Ebdon 34115 27 Dominic Dale 33825 28 Tom Ford 33555 29 Ryan Day 32380 30 Fergal O’Brien 31455 31 Mark King 31015 32 Ken Doherty 30565 33 Rory McLeod 30560 34 Anthony Hamilton 28980 35 Michael Holt 28475 36 Gerard Greene 27730 37 Robert Milkins 27595 38 Nigel Bond 27195 39 Jamie Jones 26915 40 Liang Wenbo 26625 41 Steve Davis 26440 42 Jamie Burnett 26380 43 Jack Lisowski 26270 44 Matthew Selt 26140 45 Mike Dunn 25870 46 Alan McManus 25465 47 Joe Jogia 25405 48 Jimmy White 25220 49 Xiao Guodong 24525 50 Ben Woollaston 24430 51 Jimmy Robertson 23770 52 Mark Joyce 23735 53 Dave Harold 23565 54 Anthony McGill 23010 55 Michael White 22635 56 Barry Pinches 21995 57 Tony Drago 21870 58 James Wattana 21660 59 Peter Lines 21600 60 Adrian Gunnell 20795 61 Liu Chuang 20350 62 Andy Hicks 19940 63 Liu Song 19935 64 Li Yan 18985 65 Joe Swail 18945 66 Alfie Burden 18920 67 David Gilbert 18660 68 Rod Lawler 18525 69 Ian McCulloch 18385 70 Yu Delu 18225 71 Liam Highfield 17880 72 Adam Duffy 17625 73 Passakorn Suwannawat 17300 74 Kurt Maflin 17240 75 David Morris 17020 76 Andrew Norman 17010 77 Sam Craigie 16695 78 Andrew Pagett 16490 79 Tian Pengfei 16390 80 David Grace 16055 81 Paul Davison 15965 82 Matthew Couch 15515 83 Sam Baird 15420 84 Dechawat Poomjaeng 15370 85 Cao Yupeng 15070 86 Bjorn Haneveer 14945 87 Aditya Mehta 14940 88 Simon Bedford 14750 89 Luca Brecel 14450 90 Adam Wicheard 14335 91 Scott MacKenzie 14320 92 Robin Hull 13130 93 David Hogan 13040 94 Stuart Carrington 12265 95= Kacper Filipiak 11330 95= Joe Meara 11330 95= Daniel Wells 11330 98= Lucky Vatnani 10850 98= Igor Figueiredo 10205

The current tournament being played is the Masters being held in London between 15-22 January. It's only open to those who were top 16 in the last cut off. Had an outsider won the UK Champs or if the defending masters champ been outside the top 16 then they would have entered and a wild card round would have had to be played.
This is an invitational event and thus no ranking points are awarded.
The complete first round draw is as follows.
1 Ronnie O'Sullivan [14] 6-4 Ding Junhui [1] 2 Judd Trump [8] 6-3 Stuart Bingham [11] 3 Neil Robertson [5] 6-3 Mark Allen [12] 4 Mark J Williams [4] 6-4 Stephen Maguire [9] 5 Mark Selby [3] 6-4 Stephen Lee [13] 6 Shaun Murphy [6] 6-2 Martin Gould [16] 7 Graeme Dott [10] 6-3 Allister Carter [7] 8 John Higgins [2] 6 -2 Matthew Stevens [15]
