The Jim Williamson Memorial World Open 2014
Dear Player,
Please find enclosed playing schedule for the 3rd event of the 2014/15 season. We are grateful
once again to our hosts at the Northern Snooker Centre in Leeds for their generous sponsorship
and support making this event possible.
All players are required to register with the Tournament Controller at the venue by 10am on
Saturday morning; play will start at 10.30am promptly and announcements affecting the
tournament might be made at this time. There are 96 group matches of 60 minute duration to
complete over 7 sessions. Please be available for play and refereeing duties as scheduled. Our
dedicated tournament committee will be working hard throughout the competition. Players are
required to referee one game over the weekend and asked to volunteer to referee more to
lessen the burden on our officials. Players have not been scheduled to play or referee for more
than two matches consecutively.
Qualifying criteria and seeding into the knockout stages for the competition can be viewed here.
The top two players in each group will progress to the knockout stage of each tournament.
Knockout matches start at 10.00 on Sunday; from this point matches are 90 minutes long and
the final will finish at 7.30pm.
All further information, including dress code for the Championships can be found here. If you
have any further questions, please contact a member of the board or tournament committee via
addresses available at www.world-billiards.com
A Plate Flyer will be held on Sunday for players not reaching the KO stage of the main
tournament. Players wishing to participate in the Plate should report to the Tournament
Controller by 11.00 on Sunday morning, following which the draw will take place.
I hope you all enjoy the tournament.
With regards
Steve Lock
