Format Change For Snooker’s European Championship
Snooker’s new European Championship ranking event in October will feature 32 players going to the final venue in Romania.
The tournament will run from October 3 to 9 in Bucharest and it will be the first ever professional snooker event in Romania.
This is a change to the previously announced format of 128 players at the venue. Instead, qualifying rounds will be staged at the Guild Hall in Preston from September 26 to 28, with all players needing to win two matches to make it to Bucharest.
The entry deadline for players will be August 24 and the seeding cut off point will now be after the Paul Hunter Classic in August.

Ronnie O’Sullivan mit frühem Saisonstart?
Relativ überraschend kündigte O’Sullivan gestern an, dass er an den chinesischen Turnieren im September und Oktober teilnehmen werde. Es handelt sich dabei um das Shanghai Masters und die International Championship in Daqing.
Sein Widerwillen, für Main-Tour-Events nach China zu fliegen, ist mittlerweile bekannt. Deshalb sprachen böse Zungen sofort davon, dass er wohl in der Qualifikation zu den Turnieren „unglücklich“ verlieren würde, wie wir es ja schon bei anderer Gelegenheit erlebt haben, Doch wir können zumindest, was das Shangai Masters betrifft, beruhigt sein: Die Top 16 sind dort gesetzt und bei dem Cut nach den World Open ist O’Sullivan dort noch auf dem zehnten Platz.
Bei der letzten WM hatte er sich nach seiner langen Pause eingerostet gefühlt. Er war erst Mitte Dezember in die Saison eingestiegen und hatte vor der WM nur wenige Spiele bestritten. Vielleicht zieht er daraus jetzt die Konsequenz, Durch eine intensivere Vorbereitung steigt auf alle Fälle seine Chance, Stephen Hendrys Rekord von sieben WM-Titeln doch noch ernsthaft anzugreifen.

Home Nations Series
Vor einigen Tagen hatte er sich schon zu seiner Teilnahme an der Home Nations Series geäußert. Dazu gehören die English Open, Irish Open, Scottisch Open und die Welsh Open. Der Siegerscheck bei jedem Event beträgt £70,000. Wenn es einem Spieler gelingt, alle vier Turniere zu gewinnen, bekommt er satte £1 Million.
O’Sullivan schrieb, dass er enttäuscht sei, nicht an den Scottish Open teilnehmen zu können, weil er eine anderweitige (Sponsoren-) Verpflichtung hätte. Und sagte auch gleich, was ihm dabei besonders am Herzen liegt: „I’m gutted, I fancied having a go at getting the 1 million bonus.“ An den English-Open würde er sicher teilnehmen, doch für die Irish Open wollte er sich noch nicht festlegen.

Robertson Tops Centuries Chart
We’re three tournaments into the 2016/17 season and so far Neil Robertson has made the most centuries, with nine tons to his name.
Robertson won the Riga Masters at the start of the campaign and also reached the semi-finals of the World Open. However the Aussie has a long way to go to match the incredible record-breaking total of 103 centuries in a single season which he set in 2013/14.
Indian Open champion Anthony McGill is second on this season’s list with eight tons, while World Open runner-up Joe Perry has made seven. All players to have made four or more are listed below:

Neil Robertson 9
Anthony McGill 8
Joe Perry 7
John Higgins 6
Mark Williams 6
David Gilbert 5
Ali Carter 4
Xiao Guodong 4
John Astley 4
Anthony Hamilton 4
Thepchaiya Un-Nooh 4
Kurt Maflin 4

The magic figure of 147 hasn’t been registered so far this season, with the last maximum break coming from Fergal O’Brien in the Championship League in February.
The rolling prize for a 147 at a ranking event has jumped to £40,000 so that huge bonus will be on offer at the Paul Hunter Classic in Germany later this month.
The rolling prize for a 147 at qualifying events, meanwhile, will be £10,500 at the Shanghai Masters qualifiers in Barnsley.
