Istorie

Turneul s-a desfăşurat, de la început, într-o atmosferă mai apropiată de cea de la darts sau de cea a serilor zgomotoase de pub, între niște amici bine stimulați etilic. Nu prea semăna cu atmosfera competițiilor obişnuite de snooker, deși, în fond, relaxarea era mai ales a publicului, findcă jucătorilor nu prea le ardea de glumă atunci când se aflau sub presiunea cronometrului. De când turneul a urcat în rang și e vorba de clasament, seriozitatea a crescut și ea – în jurul mesei, cel puțin.

Până la ediția trecută, cel mai mare break din istoria turneului a fost un 142, marcat de Mark Allen, în 2021. Și apoi, în decembrie 2023, s-a întâmplat incredibilul : Shaun Murphy a reușit un break maxim, în ciuda presiunii cronometrului și gălăgiei din arenă.


Reguli

- Fiecare meci are câte un singur frame şi durează [maximum] 10 minute.
- Evident, câştigă cine marchează mai multe puncte.
- Lovitura de deschidere îi revine cui returnează mai puternic bila albă din manta superioară (lag).
- La fiecare lovitură, ori trebuie trimisă o bilă în buzunar, ori trebuie atinsă o mantă (fie cu bila albă, fie cu cealaltă).
- La fiecare fault, adversarul are “ball in hand”.
- În caz de egalitate la puncte, se joacă bila albastră cu bila albă plasată in D (câştigătorul lag-ului decide cine execută prima lovitură).
- Timpul de executare a loviturilor e de 15 secunde în primele 5 minute şi de 10 secunde în ultimele 5 minute.
- Nici solicitarea curățării și curățarea unei bile, nici contestarea și lămurirea unei decizii a arbitrului nu opresc cronometrul.
