Stephen Hendry will be looking for a good start to his Group Four Championship League Snooker campaign when he kicks-off against Mark Allen this afternoon.
To watch the live broadcast of Stephen Hendry v Mark Allen go to Bet365>livestreaming>snooker from 1145 GMT.
Today sees Group Four take centre stage once more with Mark King, Ali Carter, Marco Fu, Peter Ebdon, Matthew Stevens, Mark Allen and Stephen Hendry battling it out to join Mark Selby, Mark Williams and Shaun Murphy in the Winners Group.
In each group every player will play each other once in a best of five frame match after which the top four players will contest in the play offs – semi-finals and final over the best of five frames.
Players will be awarded one point for each match won, then most frames won and the least frames lost in the league series will determine their position in the league table. Dead frames will not be played in either the league or knock-out stages.
The play-off winner will progress to the final league of the Championship League Snooker while the players coming sixth and seventh in the group will be relegated and will not feature in any further group matches.
Both Hendry and Allen have yet to take to the table in this tournament and will be looking to impress from the off.
