The 188BET Champion of Champions is set for its most extensive TV coverage ever when it breaks off at Coventry’s Ricoh Arena on Monday.
The tournament will once again be shown in its entirety live in the UK by host broadcaster ITV4, with a string of international TV networks also showing the tournament live. In addition, snooker fans in countries where the 188BET Champion of Champions is not live on TV will instead be able to watch live on Facebook at www.facebook.com/championofchampionssnooker.
Featuring tournament winners from the last 12 months including John Higgins, Mark Selby and Ronnie O’Sullivan, the 188BET Champion of Champions marks its fifth year as players go head to head for the prestigious title and the £100,000 winner’s prize.
The 16-player field is split into four groups of four players with each group comprising two semi-finals played over seven frames in the afternoon session, followed by a final in the evening played over 11 frames.
The four group winners proceed to the best of 11 semi-finals, with the Group One winner facing the Group Four winner on Friday, November 10 and the players emerging from Groups Two and Three up against each other on the evening of Saturday, November 11.
The 19-frame final will be played over two sessions on Sunday, November 12.
