In an aim to please players an error of judgement has been made by me and after Management Consultation an instruction has been given to correct this. Four players are effected – Daniell Haenga as last year’s Champion will be given the No 1 seeded position moving Robbie Tibbs as the No 1 Queensland ranked player to the No 2 position. Chee Yap has been moved to the No 7 position and Kyle Lampkin to the No 8 position. The Queensland Open Snooker Championship will be conducted at Matchroom Snooker Centre and the Kedron Wavell Billiards & Snooker Club will assist with tables. If full field of 64 players is achieved, play will commence at both venues on Friday night 23rd and continue on Saturday 24th & Sunday 25th July 2010.
