IBSF World Snooker Championship
The IBSF Snooker World Championship of Men (formerly Amateur Championship ;. English IBSF World Snooker Championship or World Amateur Championship ) is a snooker tournament , which will be held in 1963. The tournament is not to be confused with the "regular" Snooker World Championship of the Snooker Main Tour .
history
The organizing association was initially the Billiards Association , then from 1974 the International Billiards & Snooker Federation .
From 1966 to 1984 the tournament was held every two years, alternating annually with the IBSF World Billiards Championship in the snooker-related game of English Billards . From 1984, the change took place on an annual basis. The 2001 World Cup was supposed to take place in Egypt, but due to the war in Afghanistan it was not held. In 2005 an earthquake in Kashmir prevented the planned event in Pakistan. Instead, in February / March 2006, a substitute tournament was held under the name IBSF World Grand Prix , the winner of which, however, is not called the world champion.
Initially, only amateurs were eligible to participate. At the beginning of the 1990s, the requirements for professional status were relaxed by the world association and the rules for the IBSF World Championship were changed so that players from the lower regions of the world snooker rankings were also eligible to participate. In 1997, the professional status was changed again, so that only a field of 96 to 128 players has the opportunity to participate in the qualification for the major tournaments ( Snooker Main Tour ) and all players who do not play on the Main Tour have amateur status (and are therefore eligible to participate in the IBSF World Championships).
Victory at the IBSF World Championship was one of several ways to qualify for the Main Tour until 2016.
The youngest world champion was the Chinese Yan Bingtao in 2014 at the age of 14 years and nine months.
