04 December 2016 - at the UK major snooker tournament we start off with a montage and the opinions of current pro tour players and the current chairman of something snooker related, and then join the players in the studio who continue the discussion.

i'm pretty sure iplayer videos aren't available in countries besides the UK and the fact it has a greenday song it says they probably won't upload it here, so i have. any moments where there is silence was where the song was, so just imagine it, honestly not missing much, shit is like 10yrs old now

points/quotes:

'i won't ever pay first round losers'
these players are the TOP 128, they earned the seeding and now have to fork out the entry fee, travel cost, hotel room and to win that money back they have to beat the number 1 through 32 seed, 99% of the time those players are better off not going. or get more placing a bet on themselves

'there are too many pros / new pros aren't good enough'

'split the tour into tiers / A and B / improve the amateur side'

'we shouldn't take money off the top because they lose incentive' BrokeBack

don't worry i think 'Bazza' sounds like a bit of a cunt too, if you were thinking that. the fans are paying for it, but i tell em what to think eyy geeza

to inform Steve, the tennis grand slams have a system with a pre-tournament for making it to the 1st round (128) for players outside of i think the top 64 or 96. top 32 are in 100% and seeded:

i can't speak for golf majors, but here are the grand slam payouts:

that doesn't include the 8 or so ATP1000 or however many ATP500s, they may have a different payout system


it's relevant to me for its parallels to e-sports as a small, solo sport on the rise that also uses ranking events and a tour rather than league format. putting emphasis on winning tournament prizes rather than fan / media turnouts
