2011 Snooker Shoot-Out
snooker tournament
The 2011 Shoot Out (officially the 2011 CaesarsCasino.com Snooker Shoot Out) was a professional non-ranking snooker tournament that took place between 28 and 30 January 2011 at the Circus Arena in Blackpool, England. It was played under a variation of the standard rules of snooker.
The event was last held in 1990, where Darren Morgan defeated Mike Hallett 2–1 (frames) in the final.
Nigel Bond won the final 62–23 against Robert Milkins.
Tournament format
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 20 seconds while the final five had a 15-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.

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
