Snooker Calendar 2011/2012 Revealed

Dave Hendon has revealed the provisional calendar for the 2011-2012 pro Snooker tour on his blog. Best news is that all the tournaments from this season are being kept as well as some new additions.

Looks like all the old tournaments are staying where they are, even the World Open after the BBC decided to drop for next year. New additions include a "World Cup" style team event in July and two new full ranking events yet to be announced (one will apperently be somewhere in Asia). Seems like the players are going to be kept on their toes this season!
