Shaun Murphy believes the World Snooker Championship format is ‘completely ridiculous’ as he feels that the highest 16 within the rankings starting on the final 32 stage ‘doesn’t make sense’.
Earlier than all of the drama on the Crucible yearly there's a rigorous qualification competitors, to see which 16 gamers decrease down the rankings will be a part of the world’s prime 16 on the game’s most well-known stage.
Whereas some would argue that they've earned it, Murphy feels that it's far too massive a bonus for the highest 16, of which he's one.
Gamers close to the underside of the rankings must win 4 matches simply to make the Crucible and Murphy believes the benefit being given to the most effective gamers is akin to Usain Bolt beginning races 15 metres in entrance of his rivals.
The 2005 world champ says it's nearly scandalous and would have a flat draw for the game’s greatest event.
‘If it have been as much as me the whole format of the World Championship would change,’ Murphy stated on The onefourseven podcast. ‘The highest 16 would NEVER begin three or 4 rounds forward of everybody else on tour.
‘I feel it’s completely ridiculous, scandalous nearly that the most effective gamers on this planet begin three rounds forward of everybody else. I feel it’s ridiculous and a type of very unusual nuances in sport.
‘Usain Bolt, the quickest man on this planet, the equal is saying: “Usain, we all know you’re the quickest so you can begin 15 metres forward of everybody else.” Doesn’t make any sense to me in any respect.’
Whereas he was within the temper for altering issues on the World Snooker Tour, the Magician additionally reckons the Masters must be a rating occasion.
Whereas the highest 16 play within the London competitors, his argument is that it's not invitational, anybody on tour can win their manner into the highest 16 so prize cash ought to depend on the world rankings, which isn't presently the case.
‘The one factor I might change to the Masters tomorrow, as a result of it’s executed on the rankings and in my view, actually over the two-year rating listing folks have the identical alternatives to be in it,’ stated the 40-year-old.
‘If it have been as much as me all occasions would depend on the cash listing. That might be the one suppose I might change in regards to the Masters.
‘I feel it’s very, very unusual that what has extensively grow to be acknowledged as our second greatest event within the recreation doesn’t depend. I feel that’s a bizarre one and I don’t subscribe to the arguments in opposition to that.’
