The top eight seeds have been announced ahead of the LLP Solicitors World Seniors Snooker Championship. The eight cannot meet each other in Round 1 and will be seeded into position, with a really dangerous eight other players waiting to take them on in the crucible. The Draw will once again be done live during coverage of the World Professional Snooker Championships on BBC.

1, Lee Walker (Defending Champion)
2, Mark Davis
3, Jimmy White
4, Ken Doherty
5, Stephen Hendry
6, Joe Johnson
7, Tony Drago
8, Peter Lines.
We know Seven of the Eight who will face them, these are
Darren Morgan (Current European Seniors Champion)
Vito Puopolo (Current Pan American Seniors Champion)
Gerard Greene
Mohamed Khairy (Current African Seniors Champion)
Alfie Burden
Ben Hancorn (Amateur Qualifier)
Adrian Ridley (Current Asia-Pacific Seniors Champion)

Should the top 8 seeds progress we could see some mouth watering ties in the Quarter Finals…. Lee Walker v Peter Lines would see the current World and Uk Champions face off, Stephen Hendry v Ken Doherty would also evoke plenty of memories.
Certain players matches have already been scheduled so you can join us and make sure you see your favourites in action.
