The 2013 Shoot Out (officially the 2013 Betfair Snooker Shoot Out) was a professional non-ranking snooker tournament that took place between 25 and 27 January 2013 at the Circus Arena in Blackpool, England. It was played under a variation of the standard rules of snooker.
Barry Hawkins was the defending champion,[1] but he lost 38–58 against Stephen Maguire in the quarter-finals.
Martin Gould won the final 104–0 against Mark Allen.[2][3]
Tournament format
[edit]The tournament was played using a variation of the traditional snooker rules. The draw was randomised before each round. All matches were played over a single frame, each of which lasted up to 10 minutes. The event featured a variable shot clock; shots played in the first five minutes were allowed 15 seconds while the final five had a 10-second timer. All foul shots awarded the opponent a ball in hand. Unlike traditional snooker, if a ball did not hit a cushion on every shot, it was a foul. Rather than a coin toss, a lag was used to choose which player breaks. In the event of a draw, each player received a shot at the blue ball this is known as a "blue ball shootout". The player who potted the ball with the cue ball from inside the D and the blue ball on its spot with the opponent missing won the match.
