The 1993 EBSA European Snooker Championship was held five years after the first European continental championship for amateurs in snooker . The European Billiards and Snooker Association hosted the tournament in May 1993 at the SAS Royal Hotel in the Finnish capital Helsinki .
Englishman Neil Mosley won the final 8: 6 against local hero Robin Hull and after winning the world title in 1992 also won the European title.
After several years had passed after the first edition, the European Championship was held every year from 1993.
mode
22 players, four fewer than in the European Championship debut, took part in the tournament. They came from 15 different countries, only host Finland with 8 participants was represented several times. The players were divided into four groups of 5 and 6 players respectively. In the “ everyone against everyone ” mode, two winners were played in each group and they made it to the quarter-finals. All games of the group round were played on 4 winning frames .
Final round
From the quarter-finals, the tournament winner was determined in the knockout system . Compared to the first tournament, the semifinals and finals were significantly shortened and Best of 11 and Best of 15 (6 and 8 winning frames) were played.
The reigning English champion and amateur world champion from 1992 Neil Mosley was in his third major amateur final in a short time. The 18-year-old Robin Hull had already won his national championship, but he didn't have that much to show internationally. In the final, the Finn was able to keep up, but ultimately lost 6: 8. Both players then went on the professional tour, but while Mosley gave up after a short time, a long successful Main Tour career followed for Hull . In between he won the European Championship in 1997 and 2013 and became one of the most successful European Championship participants with three finals.
