I agree that this season the format was a bit stale, it would be better to have some new faces rotated in through the season. I also think they should vary the format a bit as it doesn't count for rankings, they could have different varieties of 501 (e.g. double start) or just different challenges.

I don't really understand why its an issue that Littler doesn't play in the events, they are barely televised so there is no draw for marketing and it gives the other players a better chance to define their narratives. The events are more of a throw back to old events. I agree that the format should be looked at, I don't know why they don't do a more interesting format or vary it through the season to improve interest

What is he talking about? In loads of sports they have qualification as early rounds, look at any tennis slam or snooker majors.

Comparing Van veen to Littler is a bit silly, there is 5 years between them, would you compare Luke to a 13 year old?
