Further to my post earlier in the week where I questioned the mention of a “Hotshots” scheme, the players involved have now been confirmed on the BBC website. They are Mark Selby, Mark Allen, Jamie Cope, Daniel Wells and of course Michael Georgiou as we already knew.
It will be interesting to see what this will entail and how exactly the scheme will be promoted as so far (as David Hendon has noted), the announcement appears to have been pretty low key, being made solely through the BBC.
