The PartyPoker.com Premier League Snooker returns to Banbury as four of the biggest names in snooker compete in a brand new format at the Spiceball Leisure Centre on Thursday 10th November.
The evening features an exciting mini-tournament with two semi-finals followed by the final. The first match features World Champion John Higgins against World No.5 Ali Carter.
Despite winning every accolade and championship the game has to offer, Higgins’ sole Premier League title came in 1999 and he will be looking to add to that tally.
Essex-based Carter, the reigning Shanghai Masters winner, is making his Premier League debut and will be hoping to upset the applecart.
The second semi-final is an intriguing all-Welsh clash between two players reclaiming their former glories. Mark Williams slumped to as low as No.47 on the World Rankings in 2007, but a superb return to form has seen him claim the No.1 spot.
He faces Matthew Stevens, another player in the ascendancy looking to make a mark. Stevens qualified for the PLS by winning the highly competitive Championship League Snooker.
The two semi-final winners then face off to find the night’s champion and all frames won during the evening equate to points which go towards the players’ standing in the Premier League.
In addition to the new format there are some exciting rule changes to make League matches even more cut throat. There is an even quicker 20 second shot clock, and if a player fails three times to escape from a snooker, his opponent gains ball in hand anywhere on the table.
And what’s more, any games that reach 2-2 will be decided with a final frame played to Sky Sport’s Shoot Out rules! That means a maximum ten minute frame, a 20 second shot clock decreasing down to 15, and ball in hand for any fouls.
Televised live by Sky Sports, the competition features ten of the greatest stars of the game contesting snooker’s most prestigious invitational event.
Now entering its record-breaking 26th season, Premier League Snooker is the world’s only major snooker tournament played to a league format and plays out on Thursday nights, live on Sky Sports across the UK.
Following the round robin section of play, the top four players move forward to the big money play-offs in November.
All the Banbury PLS action takes place on Thursday 10th November and tickets are available from the Box Office priced at £17.25 (£11.25 concessions) each – 01295 257522, www.leisurecentre.com
