World Seniors Snooker 900 rules

Every match apart from the final is a single frame shootout. The final is best of three frames.

There’s a time limit of 15 minutes (900 seconds) per frame. If the frame isn’t completed in time, whoever’s leading claims victory.

The game is played with a spotted cueball and players will have 20 seconds per shot. No time-outs or extensions.

Every shot played must either be potted or the ball must at least strike a cushion or object ball.

All fouls result in the cueball going to the opponent.

If the game is tied after 15 minutes, a blue-ball shootout will decide the winner.

Six players will compete in two round-robin groups of three players. The top two advance to the semi-finals.

Winner of Group A plays the runner-up of Group B and the winner of Group B plays the runner-up of Group A in the semi-finals.
