With the end of the Snokrazar Star Challenge, the 2024 Invitational Edition of the Champions League has officially begun.
A total of 25 people participated in this event, including three Chinese legionnaires, namely Zhang Anda, Zhou Yuelong, Si Jiahui, and it is regrettable that Ding Junhui, the leader of Chinese snooker, was unfortunately absent.
It may be that the prize money of the Champions League is too shabby, for Ding Junhui, who has participated in the Macau Invitational Tournament and the Lhasa Star Challenge in a row and won more than 3 million prizes, the Champions League is like chicken ribs and unattractive.
The top 16 players who were absent along with Ding Junhui also included Macau Invitational champion Golden Left Hand Mark Williams, Little Cannon Mark Allen, World Champion Luca Brecel, and ranking Champions League winner Sean Murphy. A total of five TOP16 players were absent from this invitational tournament.
The tournament is divided into 7 groups and will be played in three stages, each group will play 24 matches to determine the group stage winner, the group stage winner will advance to the winner's bracket, and the 2-5 places in the 1-6 groups will continue to participate in the next group competition.
The winners of groups 1-7 are £3,000, the runners-up are £2,000 and the top prize is £500.
£10,000 for the winner of the category, £5,000 for the runner-up and £1,000 for the top prize in a single stroke.
After so many tournaments, the winner only received a £10,000 prize money, which is indeed unattractive to some high-level players.
At the same time, the new season of the Masters will officially start on January 7, and many players may want to stay at the Masters, after all, the prize money for the winner of the Masters is as high as 250,000 pounds, which is the real temptation. #Headline Startup Creation Contest##Headline Startup Challenge#
