It looks that both do 2/3 of the BBC tournaments now, following their un-sacking last year (I think Dennis did all three last season).Yes, this is something that Dennis and JV agreed to personally do going forward (after their unsacking iirc): they will always do the World Champs together, but they alternate the UK and Masters. This season it was Dennis for UK and JV for Masters, so next season it'll be the inverse, and so on, until they retire. At least this way, JV knows he's in the UK a lot in 2024 and doesn't need to come over until the 2025 Worlds, which is a pretty fair thing to do at their ages.
