Talk:2008 World Snooker Championship

Seedings
I watched the live draw, and the numbers assigned to the players seem to correspond to their world rankings. I therefore assume that these are the seedings of the players. Please correct me if anybody else has a definitive answer as to what the seedings are! Andy4226uk (talk) 22:53, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes the seeds are the world's top 16 ranked players; although the defending champion is always the No.1 seed and may not necessarily be ranked World No 1.Pawnkingthree (talk) 10:29, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Prize money
I think there should be a small section mentioning the total prize money and what you get for a certain place, including bonuses, like 147 etc. Is this ok, and if so, can someone with the knowledge fix this? -- aediasse 18:11, 24 April 2008 (CET)

Request for further explanation
I would like to see a few more words of explanation about the qualifying procedure. What determines which players get to enter the qualifying in which rounds? Is it just based on some ranking list? The "Preliminary Qualifying" section is somewhat mystifying, with so few people seemingly involved. On the face of it one would imagine at the lowest levels it would "pyramid out" so that loads and loads of fairly average players compete in the very early preliminary rounds in the hope of getting a shot at making the finals. And yet under "Preliminary Qualifying – Qualifying Round 1" there is only one match! An explanation of this would be very helpful.

The terminology in the qualification sections also seems a bit muddled. My best guess is that there are three "preliminary qualification" rounds followed by five "qualification" rounds, but that is not actually what the article says. If my guess is correct I suggest that the heading structure should be laid out like this:


 * Preliminary qualifying
 * Round 1
 * Round 2
 * Round 3


 * Qualifying
 * Round 1
 * Rounds 2–5

Do you see what I mean?

BTW, congrats to the people who laid out the results tables so nicely.81.129.128.246 (talk) 11:02, 29 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I constructed the qualifying section and the main draw section. I have basically copied the qualifying results from the official world snooker webesite. I am in agreement that the qualifying system seems a bit wierd, but I have not found any other source detailing any other qualifying rounds. I have also adjusted the qualifying to the model that you have suggested. Andy4226uk (talk) 11:26, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
