2021/2022 season review

RANKINGS WINNERS PRIZE MONEY

FIRST of all, next season’s aspiring rankings winners will be delighted to know that the cash prizes are being reinstated.

The Championship Tour winner will receive £500, Seniors Tour £250, Under-21 Gold £250, Silver £150 and Bronze £100.

The 2022/23 calendar will be released shortly.

But the Satellite Rankings, which included money earned from non-Cuestars events, has been ditched. Jamie Wilson (Havant), in his second season as a professional, pocketed £1,000 for topping the 2020/21 Satellite Rankings.

SPONSORSHIP

Cuestars has been running grass-root snooker tournaments around central southern England for more than 30 years.

But its undoubted success is a team effort: John Hunter (our founder), tournament directors, referees, players, parents (and grandparents), coaches, clubs – and sponsors.

Without our wonderful sponsors, we couldn’t offer the prize money which attracts the players and helps them to compete in national and international competitions.

It costs just £100 to sponsor a Cuestars tournament. Please email John Hunter at [email protected].
