History

[edit]

After the establishment of thePlayers Tour Championship, thePlayers Tour Championship Finals was first held in2011 atThe Helix inDublin,[1] between the top 24 players of the Order of Merit, who played at least six events; three in Sheffield and three in mainland Europe.[2] The event was sponsored byPartyCasino.[3] In2012 the event moved to theBailey Allen Hall inGalway,[4] and was sponsored byBetfair.[5] In2013 the event was sponsored byDafabet,[6] and the competition was expanded to 32 players. The field consisted of the top 25 players from the UK/European Order of Merit, the top four players from the Asian Order of Merit and the three APTC event winners. The seedings of the final was based on the combined list of both Order of Merits.[7]

In2014 the event moved to theGuild Hall inPreston, England.[8] It was originally planned that the event would take place inBangkok, Thailand,[9] but due to thepolitical unrest in the country theWorld Professional Billiards and Snooker Association decided to relocate the event.[10] The qualifying criteria were also changed for the 2014 event. The event still accommodated 32 players, but the number of qualified players from the Order of Merits was changed with 24 coming through the European Tour Order of Merit and eight through the Asian Tour Order of Merit.[11]

In the 2016/17 season, thePlayers Tour Championship was cancelled and the main event was renamed toPlayers Championship and moved toLlandudno, Wales.[12] It is now played between the top 16 players on a one-year ranking list.[13]
