My favourite snooker event of the year is just entering the second round. Eight of the qualifiers upset their seeded opponents. I’m not enough of a snooker historian to know how that compares to other years, but it seems high to me. In fact, I’d like to know the complete list of unseeded players to reach the finals or win the event.
Watching the tournament live is a real pleasure. Thanks to interweb goodness, it can be done from our continent.

The streams are here, but sometimes require some work to chase them down. The second round still has 2 table action, so check the chat and the schedule to help you find the match you’d like to see. Freddy does a great job with his site.
