Paul Hunter Classic 2017 live scores and tournament schedule

World ranking event action continues with the annual Paul Hunter Classic in Furth this weekend, and you can follow all the latest results and fixture lists here.

The tournament is named in honour of former snooker professional, Paul Hunter, whose life was cut short in 2006 aged 27 after a battle with cancer.

An initial field of 292 players will be cut down to 128 for the main stages as they battle it out over three days for the £20,000 top prize.

World number one Mark Selby is the defending champion, having defeated Tom Ford 4-2 in last year’s final, and returns to Furth in search of a fourth Paul Hunter Classic crown since 2011.

Among the other box office stars in action include Tuesday’s China Championship winner Luca Brecel and runner-up Shaun Murphy as they make a swift return to the baize.

Former World Champion Stuart Bingham is seeded number three, closely followed by the likes of Kyren Wilson, Mark Williams and Martin Gould.

Other stand-out contenders include Ricky Walden, Michael Holt, Michael White and Alan McManus.

The main stages of the tournament run from August 25-27 at the Stadthalle in Fürth, Germany, with all matches to be contested over the best of seven frames.
