Today saw the announcement from the English Association of Snooker and Billiards (EASB) of what many will see as the premier event of the 2016/17 amateur snooker season, the English Amateur Tour.
The tour will be spread over 6 events and the prizes on offer for each event include not only a £1000 first prize but free entry to the World Snooker Q School, where a ticket to the professional tour can be earned.
More details can be seen on the EASB site here and entry details will follow.
By putting on such a high quality event, at top venues under the best conditions, this is a clear commitment from the EASB to find the best English players and help them to achieve their dream of becoming professional.
