win / win, i would back Charlie Walters slightly more as closer to home. I think it would be great to have Reanne on the tour, but not sure whether she would win more than a couple of times. POK friends of friend and still young so would be nice to see him on the tour.

Did Charlie enter all 3 or just Q school 1.
I know a few of these players could only afford to risk entry to 1(obviously if you enter all 3 you have to try and afford travel or somewhere to stay in and around Burton for almost 3 weeks

I am not sure, i wouldn't be surprised if he entered all 3. He often hangs about with Trump/lisowski so you would think he might know a few sponsors.

who are you following/ cheering on?
Obviously Reanne amd On Yee Ng would be great to see a women on the tour.
Was hoping Jackson Page made it as well but now waiting for Q School 2 for that
Would like to see Poomjaeng again
Other than that I wanna see new faces player like Baird, Duffy, Steadman have been on the tour and not made a massive impact hence in Q School now so would prefer to see fresher faces

He is the long term president of the Billiards Sports Association of Thailand.
1st time it was given to a non snooker player.
Good knowledge. Seems a bit weird to give it to someone who is in charge of the game in Thailand of all places. Did he do anything particularly groundbreaking in his role? Or is it just that he's been in charge there for 100 years or something?

He had been president for 30 years i think plus he was key(without him it wouldnt have happened) in getting snooker in the Asian Games
They are all pretty tough to call, i would say Cahill and Xintong might go through but not alot in most of them. Not sure why but not a fan of Jamie Cope, wouldn't be a shame if he missed out.
Love a bit of Poomjaeng, when i went to the welsh open (when in newport) he came out and i started singing nananana (tune baby give it up) poomjaeng, was quite entertaining and a few people laughed
First player from Q School 2 to earn a 2 year tour card is Jordan Brown.
Jordan is 30 years old from Northern Ireland was a pro in 2009/2010 but dropped of after 1 year.
As a northern irishman he has been invited to the Northern Ireland open the last 2 years losing to Kyren Wilson in the 2nd round in 2016 and Mei Xiwen in the first round last year.
Has made 10 centuries in his career and a high break of 136

Like the write up paulie good stuff, pleased he's got through seems a good lad and more interesting than Jamie Cope
Yu Delu and Cao Yupeng both suspended until further notice.
Just seen that following a long investigation both players have a case to answer and have now been suspended until tue outcome.of the cases has been reached.
Yu Delu's case is manipulating the outcome of 5 matches since 2015 and failure to report 2 approaches ti fix a match and failure to fully cooperate with the WPBSA in their enquiry
Cao Yupeng's case is manipulating the outcome of 3 matches in 2016 and failure to fully cooperate with the WPBSA in their enquiry.
David John also suspended This relates to manipulating the outcome of matches he was involved in since 2016 and failing to fully cooperate with the WPBSA enquiry.
4th and Final man through from Q School 2 is Lu Ning
Lu Ning is a 24 year old from China, he was a pro from 2014 till 2016 having won the IBSF under 21 World Championship but his 2 years on the tour was very poor in fact he only won 2 matches both 1st round qualifiers and he lost the 2nd round qualifier.
He has 11 career centuries with a high break of 134

Wow , that doesn't suprise me there are some dodgy results collectively involving chinese players, would be a shame if the latter got suspended as he came on alot last year and would be pushing top 16 with a good season.
