Snooker-Plus Shootout

The Snooker-Plus Shootout, currently referred to as the 8ballbetting.com Snooker-Plus Shootout for sponsorship purposes, is a professional non-ranking snooker tournament played under variant rules.

The tournament was announced as part of the calendar for the 2015/16 season. However, a tournament using "Snooker-Plus" rules had been held by World Snooker from 1978 to 1981, but was not officially part of the WPBSA pro-tour.

Snooker-Plus is a variant of the original game of snooker, as it has an extra two colours (orange and purple). The orange ball is worth 8 points, and the purple ball is worth 10 points. Therefore, the maximum break available for players in Snooker-Plus increases from 147 (in original snooker), to 210. * Was not part of the official WPBSA tour.
