Some of those below the top 64 cut of were on the first year of their 2 year tour card so they were safe, so the players that were relegated were.
Ken Doherty
Michael Georgiou
Michael White
Zhang Anda
Sam Baird
Alfie Burden
Craig Steadman
John Astley
Mike Dunn
Lee Walker
Oliver Lines
Harvey Chandler
Kishan Hirani
Chen Feilong
James Wattana
Fan Zhengyi
Hammad Miah
Thor Chuan Leong
Zhang Jiankang
Andy Lee
Simon Lichtenberg
Adam Stefanow
But since then we have had Q School so we now know that:
Lee Walker
Simon Lichtenberg
Fan Zhengyi
Oliver Lines
Regained their tour card straight away.
Still waiting to hear if Ken Doherty or James Wattana will be receiving an invitation Tour Card or if thats it for them, will do a fully update on the list of tpur players next season when I know about those 2 for sure.
Was more shocked he went to Q School, he said a few months ago if he dropped out of the top 64 that would be it.
I follow him on twitter and he never seems to bothered about snooker, not one to be practicing loads and probably still wishes he made it as a footballer rather than a snooker player.
He doesn't seem like the sort of person who would go around on the q tour trying to get a the odd win here and there not on the big stage, there was no way he would do that, so when he failed at Q School he was always going to call it a day imo
Although I wouldn't be surprised to see him try Q School again in a couple of years time, if he gets bored
Apologies its 129 on the tour the original article on Hendrys return was slightly misleading and mentioned Wattana getting an invitational tour card but they meant in the last and he hasnt been given one for the upcoming season, so I have removed James Wattana and these are the 129 confirmed players for the upcoming season

I haven't really been following this i've been swamped, i noticed it was on freesports earlier not sure if it is much but that will be good. Obviously i always watch pool on there Monday nights (well recorded) good to see them get some snooker too.

Had noticed that, i have been waching it on matchroomlive for free
Dominic Dale and Zhou Yuelong are the 2 players who progress to the next stage from Group 5 and 6
Zhao Jianbo who is now 17 not 16 he had a birthday a couple of weeks ago, will be disappointed he finished 2nd on frame difference but if he had beaten Gerard Greene in the final match would have topped the group in his first event, he looks a good talent tho
There were to many games in quick session for me to do Round 1 updates from the European Masters
John Higgins and Joe Perry were the only top 16 player not to make it through losing 5-4 to Martin Gould and Robbie Williams respectively other than that no major shocks a couple of minor ones like Thepchaiya Un-Nooh losing to Liam Highfield and Allan Taylor beating Noppon Saengkham
Round 2 started last night so will start updates from now
Allan Taylor 5-3 Ben Woollaston Judd Trump 5-1 Lukas Kleckers Michael Holt 5-2 Jamie Jones Luca Brecel 5-1 Ali Carter Martin O'Donnell 5-4 David Grace Jamie Clarke 5-4 Matt Selt Joe O'Connor 5-2 Scott Donaldson Yan Bingtao 5-3 Ryan Day
His first tournament as a pro player and round 2 he faces a former world champion in Mark Williams
He goes 4-1 ahead then Williams fights back to 4-4 and under imense pressure Devlin gets his first pro century in a final frame decider to win 5-4, that shows bottle
Like Devlin its his first tournament as a pro player in the the 2nd round he is against current world champion Ronnie O'Sullivan
He goes 3-1 ahead before Ronnie wins 3 in a row yo go 4-3 ahead, but does that face Hill, not a chance he takes the the 2 frames including a good 78 break in the final frame decider to beat Ronnie O'Sullivan 5-4
Stephen Maguire 5-3 James Cahill Mark Davis 5-4 Nigel Bond Zhou Yuelong 5-2 Jak Jones Tom Ford 5-4 Antoni Kowalski Dave Gilbert 5-3 Rob Milkins Matthew Stevens 5-1 Xiao Guodong Peter Devlin 5-4 Mark Williams Mark Selby 5-0 Gao Yang Mark Allen 5-0 Ken Doherty Ding Junhui 5-3 Hossein Vafaei Martin Gould 5-1 Ian Burns Duane Jones 5-3 Andrew Higginson Anthony McGill 5-2 Peter Lines Neil Robertson 5-2 Riley Parsons Kyren Wilson 5-0 Chris Wakelin Pang Junxu 5-1 Robbie Williams Ashley Carty 5-1 Simon Lichtenberg Lyu Haotian 5-2 Graeme Dott Barry Hawkins 5-1 Jordan Brown Aaron Hill 5-4 Ronnie O'Sullivan Jackson Page 5-4 Jack Lisowski Shaun Murphy 5-3 Alan McManus Stuart Bingham 5-1 Chen Zifan Liam Highfield 5-4 Fraser Patrick
Peter Devlin and Aaron Hill are players to watch based on there performances today, I watched both matches and was very impressed
Great to see 2 new/young players on the tour who have kicked off with impressive wins. I had Ronnie on in the background but wasn't really watching, at pool... great win.
I haven't been following much this week but thanks for the updates Paulie, i've flicked over the odd time but not really in watch snooker mood.
Mark Davis has pulled out after his cue was stolen from his car meaning Mark Selby gets his 2nd bye of the tournament
Round 1-bye due to Covid Round 2-5-0 win Round 3-by3 to due theft
Thats disappointing, i know you can get attached to a cue but surely he could have borrowed one or even a racker worst case. Poor reason to withdraw imo
Mark Allen 5-2 Ashley Carty Mark Selby W/O Mark Davis Ding Junhui 5-4 Lyu Haotian Tom Ford 5-1 Stephen Maguire Stuart Bingham 5-4 Liam Highfield Pang Junxu 5-2 Barry Hawkins Neil Robertson 5-2 Allan Taylor Shaun Murphy 5-1 Zhou Yuelong Martin Gould 5-2 Jamie Clarke Yan Bingtao 5-1 Duane Jones Anthony McGill 5-4 Dave Gilbert Kyren Wilson 5-2 Martin O'Donnell Jackson Page 5-3 Luca Brecel Aaron Hill 5-3 Matthew Stevens Judd Trump 5-1 Michael Holt Peter Devlin 5-4 Joe O'Connor

He's had it 20 years. John Parris made him a replica a few years ago which he will use if it doesn't get returned. I bought my cue in about 1985. Every other cue just feels weird when you've had a cue for that long.

I bought my cue in about 1985. Every other cue just feels weird when you've had a cue for that long.
