Snooker fans will no doubt be aware of the new ONEFORSEVEN format being developed by Global Snooker and here is an illustration of how the events work from the organisers themselves…
In the video Neil Tomkins explains the rules and players such as Mark Williams, Ryan Day, Stephen Lee and Mark Selby comment on how much they enjoyed the first event in Cardiff.
Personally I must admit that the format is not something that appeals to me particularly. As I have said in previous posts when discussing the six-red format, as far as snooker is concerned I am something of a traditionalist and have always preferred the original format, particularly the longer frame matches that we will see at the World Championship qualifiers.
That being said however it is important that new ideas and new formats are tried, not particularly for me but in order to attract new fans to the game and give the players an opportunity to express themselves away from the high pressure ranking event circuit.
Any thoughts on the venture?
