These are all of the ranking, minor-ranking and non-ranking events which no longer exist, which used to be on the tour between 2000-2019.
There are some tournaments which I have not included in this list, that still technically exist, but under a different name. For example, the European Masters was known as the Malta Cup/European Open, and the World Open used to be known as the Grand Prix/LG Cup.
Which one of these former tournaments did you like the most?

That was last held in 1987. This particular poll is about the tournaments that ended post 2000.

I have no strong memories of any of these tournaments except for Ronnie’s 4 centuries and maxi at the NI Trophy.

He then got knocked out by Fergal O'Brien in the next round. Although Ronnie did win the tournament the following year, so that made up for it.

The only event out of this list with something unique about it was Power Snooker. I like that it was based on points rather than frames. You don't really need the rest of it though.
