Hot on the heels of confirming the field for the upcoming World Cup in Wuxi, World Snooker has also made available the draw for the Australian Goldfields Open in Bendigo, as well as the qualifiers due to commence in Crawley from 1st June 2015.
The link for the final stages draw can be found here, as well as the qualifying draw and format also available at World Snooker, while I will provide the appropriate links to snookerorg in due course.
At first glance perhaps the most striking aspect of the qualifying draw is just how many top ups will be required from the Q School Order of Merit, with every professional player set to be seeded in the first qualifying round.
That said, it looks like only four members of the top 16 have elected not to enter, with Ding Junhui, Ronnie O’Sullivan, Barry Hawkins and Mark Williams missing from the draw.
Further analysis will follow in due course…
