Ireland’s  Inter  Club  6-Ball 

Snooker  Tour 

A number of new snooker tournaments is being set-up throughout different venues north and south of the border called Ireland’s Inter Club 6-Ball Snooker Tour open to any player both amateur and professional from N. Ireland, Rep Of Ireland or any other Country……….

This new snooker tour will see all tournaments played with six red balls and the same number of colours per frame with all snooker rules also in place with the only difference being, six red balls will be used instead of fifteen…………

The organisers hope this new shorter format played on Ireland’s Inter Club 6-Ball Snooker Tour will be a exciting playing format for all players and venues to enjoy, hoping to replicate the success of the Twenty-20 Cricket when they introduced a new and exciting playing format to there game and turned out to be a major success and plans have been made by the World Professional Snooker body to try out 6-ball snooker events…..

Tournaments played on Ireland’s Inter Club 6-Ball Snooker Tour will only have the following Handicap System set in place for each organised event which involves professional and challenge tour players past and present with details as follows……..

(a).  any current professional player that enters is -21

(b).  any current or past Challenge tour player, or past professional player is -14
