As I’,m sharing this, the info isn’t yet on WST “live scores” page though…
Yes it’s a very unbalanced draw, reflecting the somewhat haphazard nature of the money-based qualifiaction over half of a season. You’ll be pleased to see that Ronnie’s got an excellent draw! The 2nd quarter is particularly tough.
who cares if he’s got an excellent draw? he’ll get destroyed by the first decent player he gets anyway, as per usual
