Snooker in November 2011

It's November and it's going to rain with snooker events
Do you hear it? That "bzzzzzzzz" sound? Well, that's because in November we will be some very busy bees. Yes, sir! It will practically rain with tournaments, one after another and the big news is that at the end of the coming month we shall find our who is this year's Premier League champion. 

But until the fast and furious competition will reach its final stages the snooker caravan has to make three more stops, on November 3, 10 and 17. Then during 26 and 27 of November the semi-finals and the final will take place, as usual in Norfolk.

Returning to the beginning of the month snooker's most famous knights will get together in Peterborough to take part in the second edition of the World Seniors Championship. So, please book the coming weekend (5-6) for it would be a real shame to miss a date with the legends of the sport.

Very quickly we will need to pack our bags and go to the lovely South West Snooker Academy from Gloucester when between 6 and 9 of November the UK Championship qualifiers will take place. Thrilling times for the lads that want to book themselves a place next to the Top 16 players.
And since we are on the "qualifiers" section, I must also add German Masters’ qualifying rounds that will be staged at the World Snooker Academy from Sheffield from November 22 until November 25.

The golden rule is not to be broken, as this month will see a PTC taking place too. Well, two, to be more precise. First we shall travel outside the UK borders to Belgium's Antwerp, where PTC 9 will he hold between 10 and 13 of November, while the next one, PTC 10, will take place right here in Sheffield between 26 and 30 of the current month.

Power Snooker will strike again with Ronnie O'Sullivan being the defending champion, so besides having the fast Premier League rolling, we shall also have an even faster snooker event taking over our TVs between November 19 and 20.
