    I was watching a bit of Premier League snooker last night down in the snooker club (Trump Vs Ebdon) and unusually the match was best of 6. Any match i've ever seen before has always been best of an odd number of frames. What would have happened if the match went to 3-3 in this case?

    It's a draw and each player gets a point. League situation.

    The draw factor in snooker kills it for me.

    It does lack something without a final frame decider, but does seem to suit the premier leagues unique format.

    Lets face it, it makes life so much easier for TV schedulers having a guaranteed 6 frames. Generally the premier league match nights on Sky Sports end at the scheduled time, give or take.

    Eurosports schedules seem to go out the window when a sport like live snooker is on.
