The 2010 World Seniors Championship was a snooker tournament that was held in Bradford from November 5th to 7th, 2010 .

regulate

The invitation tournament took place as part of the Main Tour of the 2010/11 snooker season . After the tournament was introduced in 1991, it disappeared from the calendar of events until its revival in 2010. So it was the second edition of the tournament. The condition for participation was a minimum age of 40 years.

Eight players took part at the invitation of the WPBSA , many of them ex-world champions or other popular and previously successful players. Another starting place was played out at a qualification tournament that took place at the end of May 2010. The winner of the qualification had to play in another elimination game against one of the eight invited players. Then it went on in knockout mode.
