Back to school, back to Q School

The race for getting a place on the Main Tour starts tomorrow, so all the players that want to turn their dream of performing shoulder to shoulder with the stars of snooker into reality are going back to school.

Although is Sunday and many of us are still taking advantage of the weekend, the fun seems to be over for the lads that want to book their place on the Main Tour. The Q School Event One kicks off and with it the snooker "carnage".

The draw is filled with names that ring a bell, names that we know by heart, names that are going to be written in highlights some day, so there's no turning back. This is their moment, their chance to make it happen.

Tomorrow's event is part of the Q School series of three events, each of them lasting for five days and with every match being played under "the best of 7" rule. At the end of each event, four players (the "fight" stops in the quarter-finals) will receive a well deserved place on the Main Tour, place that has a two years “warranty" (aka. for two years the player’s safe to play next to the heavy names in the business).
