EBSA European Snooker Championship
The EBSA European Snooker Championship is a snooker tournament held by the European Billiards and Snooker Association (EBSA).
history
Men's tournament
The tournament was held for the first time in 1988. It has been held annually since 1993.
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 European Championship has also been one of several ways to qualify for the Main Tour.
The youngest ever winner is the Belgian Luca Brecel , who won in 2010 at the age of 15. Four players won the tournament twice ( Björn Haneveer , David John , Alex Borg and Robin Hull ).
European champion
Ladies tournament
Since 1996, parallel to the men's European championship, the European women's championships have also been played at the same venue. Since only very few players have made it to the Snooker Main Tour so far , there are no restrictions on participation for professional players .
Kelly Fisher from England dominated women's snooker until 2003 . She is a five-time world champion and won seven of the first eight European championships. She was replaced in 2004 by the Belgian Wendy Jans , who had been her constant opponent in the final from 1999. Wendy Jans is the record European champion and won twelve titles from 2004 to 2018.
