The 2016 Shoot Out (officially the 2016 Ladbrokes Snooker Shoot Out) was a professional non-ranking snooker tournament that took place between 12 and 14 February 2016 at the Hexagon Theatre in Reading, England. It was played under a variation of the standard rules of snooker.

Michael White was the defending champion, but he lost 1–66 against Ben Woollaston in round two.

Robin Hull won the final 50–36 against Luca Brecel.[1][2]

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 15 seconds while the final five had a 10-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.
