  • *WIN* World Open Qualification and Scholarships at the South West Snooker Academy

    Hello!

    We will be holding a World Open Qualifying event at the South West Snooker Academy in Gloucester on 31st July 2010. All the details can be found below:

    Prizes:
    1st Prize: Paid entrance into the World Open and a six month scholarship at the South West Snooker Academy. (see below for details)
    Runner-Up Prize: Three month scholarship at the South West Snooker Academy. (see below for details)
    Losing Semi Finalists: A free days practice at the South West Snooker Academy including 1 hours coaching, if requested, and the chance to play a professional.

    Entry Fee:
    Each player is to pay a fee of £20 to enter the qualifying event.

    Number of Entrants:
    Unlimited.

    Closing Date for Entries:

    Midday 30th July. The draw will then be made at 12:30pm.

    Format:
    Our qualifier will consist of a best of five, straight knock out tournament in keeping with the format of the World Open. The matches will be played on Star tables fitted by World Snooker table fitters and will therefore replicate the match conditions of the World Open.

    We understand that it may be quite a journey for just a small amount of snooker, for those players losing in the early rounds, therefore all entrants will be able to use the practice tables before their matches and stay for additional practice, as and when tables are available, after they have been eliminated from the competition.

    To Enter:
    If you would like to enter our qualifying event then please email me at sarah.mount@onqpromotions.co.uk for more information.

    There will be strictly no refunds. In the case of a player not participating in the event, their opponent will receive a bye into the next round.

    ***Scholarship includes***
    • Practice at the SW Snooker academy, on the Star tables prepared to World Snooker standards, to prepare for the World Open and next seasons World Snooker’s Q school.
    • Play against the professionals.
    • One hours free coaching per month if requested.
    • You choose when the period of your scholarship starts so that you can peak at the right time.

      We are planning for the qualifiers to be held over one day but it would depend on the number of entries we receive. You should definitely enter! You can always stay and watch the rest of the matches after you get knocked out-assuming of course you don't go on to win the event ;-)

            with recent announcements from World Snooker and Rileys there seems to be some confusion about our event at the South West Snooker Academy.

            To clarify - The qualifying competition at South West Snooker Academy is independant of Rileys and you enter directly with us. Our format and prizes are geared towards snooker enthusiasts and are shown at the start of this thread.

            Hello!

            For anyone who is interested in entering our World Open Qualifier, you can now pay your entry fee via Paypal.

            Please follow the link to the Amateur Competitions page on our website where you can find more information.

            Regards

            Sarah

                  Hello again Mr P,

                  I am unsure of the number of entries we have currently received as they are being sent to the Academy in Gloucester and I am based in Northumberland. There has been a great level of interest though through emails and our facebook page for the event so hopefully we have recieved a nice number.

                  Once I have more information I will put it on here for anyone who is interested.

                  Regards

                  Sarah

                    Hi Sarah,

                    I'm one that's definatley interested on how this competition pans out. Whilst I won't be in attendance myself, I'm always interested in how tournaments of any standards go.

                      Due to the levels of interest indicated on our facebook event page and via email, we would recommend that anyone interested in entering this event please enter as soon as possible in order to avoid disappointment. We are hopefull that everyone who wishes to enter will be able to but if the numbers grow out of control for a one day event then we will have to put a limit on the number of entries.

                      If you have any questions about how to enter please contact Sarah Mount at sarah@southwestsnookeracademy.com
