World Ladies Billiards & Snooker Association press release
THE women’s snooker season kicks off next weekend with the traditional double-header at the North East Derbyshire Snooker Centre, Clay Cross.
On Saturday, it’s the £1,400 Wytech Masters. And on Sunday it’s the Paul Wood UK Championship, the first of six ranking events on the 2010/11 World Ladies Billiards & Snooker Association circuit.
Reanne Evans, the six-time women’s world champion, WILL play in both events.
As a professional, Evans, the only woman on World Snooker’s Main Tour, will concede an 18-point start in each frame of the Masters.
The 24-year-old, who is on a 61-match unbeaten run on the WLBSA circuit, won both the Masters and UK titles last year. She will play in as many of this season’s events as she can.
Mark Jones and Paul Stanynought, joint owners of Midlands-based IT company Wytech, are sponsoring the Masters for the fourth year running.
Mr Jones said: “Paul and I, along with our secondary sponsors Capital City Solutions and the Q Room in Derby, are proud to be sponsoring the Wytech Masters.
“This is the fourth consecutive year of our involvement and we are proud of the event that we put on each year.
“I hope the ladies have a great time in the opening event of the season and put on some great personal performances. The day is about fun, meeting and making friends, oh, and of course snooker.”
Matches will be best of three frames in the early rounds and best of five from the quarter-finals onwards. There will be a plate competition for first and second-round losers.
Selected matches will be streamed via Ustream. More information will be found on the WLBSA and Wytech websites.
The Paul Wood UK Championship carries prize money of £900.
All matches will be best of five frames. A plate, a junior event and a handicapped seniors’ competition will be played if time permits.
A new WLBSA website (http://www.worldladiessnooker.co.uk), which has been built by Austrian billiards star Karin Wannemacher, with be unveiled at the start of the Masters.
The WLBSA is hosting six ranking events this season culminating in the World Championships in April.
