The tournament is available via a live stream on the Internet at:

Eurotour Live Stream

The stream is a decent quality and is well-worth a look although you will have to register with address, phone number, email and more and the site is also not running on a secure protocol.

There is also a preview for the Welsh Open snooker tournament that starts on the 16th February and features a number of Welsh players in addition to the regulars on the World snooker tour.

Pete’s Predictions for this one is a Matthew Stevens v Ryan Day final, a little bit sentimental perhaps with an all-welsh affair!

Finally, extended details of CueSport TV’s first live broadcast of 2009, from Great Yarmouth, are talked about including multiple cameras and live score graphics. It is free and all that is required is a login/registration (also free!)
