Find out how to watch the draw and schedule for the World Snooker Championship qualifiers.

Snooker fans, get ready for the ultimate showdown at this year's World Snooker Championship! The qualifying rounds have reached their final stage, with two Judgement Days determining the 16 players who will advance to the prestigious Crucible arena. The English Institute of Sport has witnessed some incredible performances, leaving us with only 32 players in the running for the title.

One of the standout moments so far has been Chang Bingyu's brilliant maximum break, the first of the tournament. However, even in defeat, he displayed the immense quality of the qualifiers with a tough loss to former champion Luca Brecel. Although Brecel may be out of the tournament, he is still a lot richer thanks to his impressive performance, earning a £147,000 bonus for making two maximums in Triple Crown events this season, along with a £10,000 prize for his qualifying break.

Chang was also aiming to make his Crucible debut this year, but there are still many potential debutants left in the field on Judgement Day. For all you snooker enthusiasts out there, you've come to the right place. I'm Phil Haigh, and I've been covering the game we all love for over a decade, starting from my time in the World Snooker press office in 2012.

And now, I'm excited to announce the launch of my new newsletter, The Table, where I'll be diving deep into all things snooker, analyzing the biggest moments, breaking down frames, and crowning the weekly winners and losers. So make sure to sign up! Among the potential debutants on Judgement Day, Antoni Kowalski stands out as he fights to maintain his professional status against Jamie Jones.

The schedule for the final rounds is as follows: on Tuesday, April 14, all matches will be best of 19, starting at 11am and 5pm; on Wednesday, April 15, matches will continue at the same times. Some of the exciting matchups to look forward to include Stuart Bingham vs Matthew Stevens, Hossein Vafaei vs Gao Yang, and Aaron Hill vs David Gilbert. And we are guaranteed at least one debutant as Stan Moody takes on Jiang Jun, both of whom have yet to grace snooker's hallowed ground.

But let's not forget the veterans of the game, like Jimmy White, who at 63 years old was looking to make a return to the Crucible. Although he fell short in the qualifiers, his determination and love for the game are an inspiration to us all. The qualifiers are being streamed on HBO Max in the UK, with the two Judgement Days also available for free on WST Play and WST's YouTube channel.

After the qualifying rounds come to an end on Wednesday night, the draw for the main stages at the Crucible will be made on Thursday morning.
