Wimbledon beating Liverpool to win the FA Cup…Buster Douglas knocking out Mike Tyson…YE Yang flooring Tiger Woods…could you be the talented snooker player ready to join this list of great sporting upsets by beating one of the world’s top snooker players in the new World Open?
This fantastic and innovative tournament will see 32 amateurs join the 96 professional players in an FA Cup-style event with a random draw and matches played over just five frames.
Rileys and other snooker clubs will be staging competitions by the end of July, with the winners to go through to the qualifying phase which will run from August 21 to 24 at the World Snooker Academy in Sheffield.
FOR DETAILS ON HOW TO ENTER THESE COMPETITIONS, KEEP AN EYE ON WORLDSNOOKER.COM AND RILEYS.CO.UK IN THE COMING DAYS.
The televised stage will then take place at the SECC in Glasgow from September 18 to 26, when the likes of Ronnie O’Sullivan, Stephen Hendry and Neil Robertson will be competing for the trophy.
World Snooker Chairman Barry Hearn encourages anyone who fancies their chances to have a go in the club competitions and see how far they can go. “It will be fascinating to see how the best amateurs fare against the professionals,” he said. “We could get a rags-to-riches story of an unknown player getting to the business end or giving one of the top stars a shock.”
