Changes In Snooker Scheduling
The Open and Senior Snooker disciplines will not be playing at the same time. This will lead to a less hectic schedule for all involved. Open Snooker will also run from Sunday to Saturday for the very first time.
Changes To Women Disciplines
Due to the low participation level for the Women's Amateur 9-Ball, it will be replaced with a Women's Amateur 8-Ball discipline. With the many Amateur 8-Ball leagues in Southern Ontario, it is expected that the participation level will increase with this change. Also due to the fact that there is no Women's World championship for 8-Ball, this discipline will be replaced with a Women's 10-Ball championship.
10-Ball Championships Will Remain A Direct Entry Event
Due to the many other disciplines that Provinces hold qualifiers for, the Open 10-Ball Championships will again be a direct entry event. Sanction fees for any person that is not a member in good standing of their respective Provincial Association will not be accepted.
Amateur Divisions Guidelines
Any person that is not listed as an open player, pro, or semi-pro by their Province or CBSA can play in this discipline. Each Province does have a different criteria in ranking their players. An amateur can also play in the Open 9-Ball division, if they qualify out of their Province.
JACCS To Sponsor Junior 9-Ball Division
After the passing of Scott Soroko in 2009, his family and friends formed the Junior Association of Canadian Cue Sports (JACCS), in his memory. Scott Soroko was the creator of the website Shooterville, and a true friend to all involved in Canadian cue sports. One of his biggest passions was helping out junior aged pool players any way that he could. With JACCS sponsoring the CBSA junior program, no sanction fees will have to be paid by any Canadian junior who wishes to play in the Canadian Junior 9-Ball championships. JACCS will pay the expenses to send our participants to the World championships each year.
