The Integrity of Snooker at its best, all this diving(cheating in football)
Barry Hawkins has just lost his match after calling a foul on himself, now you may say its just a stupid tournement that he doesnt care about. But now he lost he will not be defending his Grand Prix title that he won last year(he had to get to the final of the Shootout to book his place in the event he won a year ago

Standard in snooker/pool imo and Hawkins benefited from someone else doing the same earlier vs Davies. I see it when we play pool alot but still get people who cheat not like football though thats a different level
A side note Michael Georgiou who started the weekend 64th on the 1 year ranking list(which is what the Grand Prix uses) if he wins he will go into the top 32 and be in the event at Preston

1st one gave Perry the opening break
2nd to leave the blue ball pottable with 20 seconds left was unforgivable.
Still nothing ever goes my way so i am not surprised
Joe Perry (21)
Graeme Dott (25)
Mark Davis (41)
Cao Yupeng (56)
Michael Georgiou (73)
Suni Akani (79)
Martin O'Donnell (92)
Zhang Yong (96)
So out of the remaining 8 5 players are ranked below 50
2 in last 8 not the worst odds but less likely
Martin O'Donnell (92) v Suni Akani (79)
Graeme Dott (25) v Cao Yupeng (56)
Mark Davis (41) v Joe Perry (21)
Michael Georgiou (73) v Zhang Yong (96)
Akani
Dott
Davis
Georgiou
There has been 3 this weekend
Graeme Dott (25)
Mark Davis (41)
Michael Georgiou (73)
Martin O'Donnell (92)
Semi final draw will be interesting
Will we have a lower ranked player in the final
Or will it be the 2 old pros who make it through
@WelshAddick has lost his 3 players
I have 1 of my 2 left
Come on Georgiou
Tough one to call now as has been all thr way through.
Michael Georgiou (73) v Martin O'Donnell (92)
Mark Davis (41) v Graeme Dott (25)
