The 2012 Shoot Out (officially the 2012 PartyPoker.com Snooker Shoot Out) was a professional non-ranking snooker tournament that took place between 27 and 29 January 2012 at the Circus Arena in Blackpool, England. It was played under a variation of the standard rules of snooker.

Nigel Bond was the defending champion,[1] but he lost in round one 15–30 against Robert Milkins in a repeat of the 2011 final.[2]

Barry Hawkins won the final 61–23 against Graeme Dott.[3]

Tournament format

[edit | edit source]

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. Rather than a coin toss, a lag was used to choose which player breaks. In the event of a draw, each player received a shot at the blue ball. This is known as a "blue ball shootout". The player who potted the ball with the cue ball from inside the D and the blue ball on its spot with the opponent missing won the match.
