What is The 900?
The matches are one frame of 15 minutes – which is 900 seconds.

There is a 20-second shot clock, ball-in-hand for any four, players must pot a ball or hit a cushion and it is all played with a spotted cue ball.

Francis explained the tournament structure, saying: ‘Each week is a separate event. Eight players start on Monday. The four players who win their quarter-final matches all qualify for the Wednesday.

‘On the Tuesday, the four that lost on the Monday get a second chance as they’re joined by four more players.

‘Those four winners go to the Wednesday when we will have a weekly winner. We repeat that over eight weeks so we get eight weekly winners who go into one Grand Final. 12 players a week, so 96 players over eight weeks.’

I really cant bring myself to think about the horror that would be modus but snooker. Joe Johnson for fucks sake
