One of the success stories of snooker in 2012, next week sees the return of the International Championship, with the qualifiers set to be played at the Barnsley Metrodome for the first time.
Following the latest seedings revision at the end of last week’s Shanghai Masters, World Snooker have today published the draw for the event, which you can best view here at the ever-excellent snookerorg.
A cursory glance at the draw shows that there will unsurprisingly be a stellar line-up, with all of the top 64 having entered, with the exception of the suspended Stephen Lee.
The first round will take place between 1-2 October 2013, with the venue stages to be held in Chengdu, China, between 27th October and 3rd November 2013.
