The Masters should be the old World Masters format. Set play, best of 3 legs.
Ranked and 4 days long.
Top 32 on the Annual OOM from the year before (ranking tv events, ETs and PCs all in one table)
Not a bad idea, only thing that worries me is another ranking event will just create an even bigger gap between the big boys and the restDeepFriedRat wrote: ↑Thu Oct 12, 2023 10:56 pm Yes

A different set format is an interesting idea. Not sure if it would stick.TheMalteseDart wrote: ↑Thu Oct 12, 2023 11:11 pmNot a bad idea, only thing that worries me is another ranking event will just create an even bigger gap between the big boys and the restDeepFriedRat wrote: ↑Thu Oct 12, 2023 10:56 pm Yes

That format change sounds good. The Masters is so meaningless at the moment, even moreso next year with no PL 'qualification'.TheMalteseDart wrote: ↑Thu Oct 12, 2023 11:11 pmNot a bad idea, only thing that worries me is another ranking event will just create an even bigger gap between the big boys and the restDeepFriedRat wrote: ↑Thu Oct 12, 2023 10:56 pm Yes

If it's ranked I don't see why you couldn't have all Tour Card holders play in it with multiple boards in the early rounds. Maybe seed the Top 32 from the previous year to create some different match-ups from the Worlds and reward recent form.

Perhaps, although considering it would have a slightly different qualifying criteria to the ones used for the current TV events (there isn't one yet based on the one-year main OoM), I don't think it would create a bigger gap (and even then, the Matchplay and the Grand Prix also have the one year ProTour rankings baked in)TheMalteseDart wrote: ↑Thu Oct 12, 2023 11:11 pmNot a bad idea, only thing that worries me is another ranking event will just create an even bigger gap between the big boys and the restDeepFriedRat wrote: ↑Thu Oct 12, 2023 10:56 pm Yes

I’d rather watch re-runs of The Sweeney on ITV4 anyway.
