These are tournaments with a €12k prize to the top winner in some instances so I guess it isn't just snooker. Obviously it's not ideal and could be open to abuse but it's not just snooker.

Can u imagine a small pro tennis tournament with no umpires, it would be ridiculous. Surely World Snooker could have got refs from somewhere. I honestly can't believe their attitude and general lack of professionalism. No wonder all the big names turned their backs on the event. If the general public knew this and some of the more critical journalists found out the sport would be laughed at even more than it probably now Just a thing on the reffing.

There was one moment during the match between Ricky Walden and Ben Woollaston where they could not decide whether it was a free ball or not and they called him over, but otherwise they did it all themselves. Was quite funny last week to see Harold and Lawler debating the scores, they weren't the only ones either. All very sporting though.

Was interesting to see Joe Swail picking the balls out for Ken Doherty. Were there no refs in place? Great site. Was interesting to see Joe Swail picking the balls out for Ken Doherty.
