Take Round 1 for example, Selby's incredible 343 unanswered points got us off to a flyer then Higgins drew with Ronnie including a dramatic First Frame on a re-spotted black!
Again Higgins drew in Basingstoke in Round 2, again Ding took a big lead only to squander it. But the big surprise was definitely Joe Perry beating the Rocket.
I watched Perry at the World Championships last year and I thought he was very good and I predicted a good season for him. He was unlucky to get an unstoppable Ronnie at Northern Ireland but this time, when Ronnie wasn't at his best, Perry played superbly to win 4-2.
Sky Sports' coverage was fantastic, not as good as BBC, but miles better than Eurosport. It is an entertaining format made even more entertaining thanks to Sky. (Eurosport, Take Note)
