Tournament Information

• The 2022 English Under-21 Snooker Championship is open to all players aged under-21 (on the 31st December 2021)
• Event entries close two Fridays before the event starts at midday (1200)
• The opening phase of the championship will consist of two qualifying regions – North and South
• Regardless of home location, players may enter whichever area they wish – although there is only one entry per player per event
• The qualifying regions will be played and completed on one day
• The number of qualifiers produced from each region will be decided on a pro-rata entry basis. This will be made known to players prior to play.
• The ‘second phase’ of the championship will consist of a national last 16 stage combining both the qualifiers from the North and South regions. At this phase the last 16, quarter-finals and semi-finals will be completed, resulting in two finalists who will play each other at the EPSB Finals Weekend.
