ACBS Asian Snooker Championship

The ACBS Men 's Snooker Asian Championship is a snooker tournament hosted by the Asian Confederation of Billiard Sports (ACBS).

history

The tournament was held for the first time in 1984 and has been held annually since then - with the exception of 2003.

Only players who do not play on the Snooker Main Tour at the same time are eligible to participate . Before there was a limit on the number of participants on the professional tour, only players below a certain position in the snooker world rankings were entitled to participate. For some time now, winning the Asian Cup has been one of several ways to qualify for the Main Tour.
