2018 Snooker Shoot Out
The 2018 Shoot Out (officially the 2018 Coral Snooker Shoot Out) was a professional ranking snooker tournament, that took place from 8–11 February 2018 in Watford, England.[1] It was played under a variation of the standard rules of snooker,[2] and was the fourteenth ranking event of the 2017/2018 season. Anthony McGill was the defending champion, but he lost to Mark Davis in the first round, after Davis made a break of 102.[3][4] Michael Georgiou won his first ever ranking title, beating Graeme Dott 67–56 in the final.[5][6] None of the top five players in the world rankings at the time, (Mark Selby, Ronnie O'Sullivan, Judd Trump, Ding Junhui and John Higgins) had entered the tournament.[7] Tournament formatThe tournament was played using a variation of the traditional snooker rules. The draw was randomised before each round. All matches were played over a single frame, each of which lasted up to 10 minutes. The event featured a variable shot clock; shots played in the first five minutes were allowed 15 seconds while the final five had a 10-second timer. All foul shots awarded the opponent a ball in hand. Unlike traditional snooker, if a ball did not hit a cushion on every shot, it was a foul. Rather than a coin toss, a lag was used to choose which player breaks. In the event of a draw, each player received a shot at the blue ball this is known as a "blue ball shootout". The player who potted the ball with the cue ball from inside the D and the blue ball on its spot with the opponent missing won the match.
