Series of snooker tournaments From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2010–11 snooker season was a series of snooker tournaments played between 20 May 2010 and 2 May 2011. The German Masters was the first ranking tournament in Germany since the 1997/1998 season.[1] The Grand Prix was renamed to World Open,[2] and the format of the tournament was changed with 32 amateurs joining the Main Tour professionals.[3] The Players Tour Championship minor-ranking series was introduced to the calendar. These events were open to amateurs and professionals with a separate Order of Merit. The top 24 in the Order of Merit qualified for the Finals, which was a ranking event.[4] The Premier League was for the first time part of the Main Tour. The Jiangsu Classic was renamed to the Wuxi Classic,[5] and other events were introduced to the calendar: the new cue sport Power Snooker,[6] the World Seniors Championship,[7] and Snooker Shoot Out.[8] The Scottish Professional Championship was held for the first time since 1989.[9]
