The 2021 Shoot Out (officially the 2021 BetVictor Snooker Shoot Out) was a professional ranking snooker tournament, that took place from 4 to 7 February 2021 at the Marshall ArenainMilton Keynes, England. It was the ninth ranking event of the 2020–21 snooker season. It was played under a variation of the standard rules of snooker. The event was the fourth of six events sponsored by BetVictor, making up the 2020-21 European Series.[1]

Michael Holt was the defending champion, having defeated Zhou Yuelong 64–1 in the 2020 final.[2] In 2021, Holt was defeated by Matthew Stevens in the second round.

Ryan Day won the tournament for his third career ranking title, defeating Mark Selby 67–24 in the final.

Tournament format

[edit]

The tournament was played using a variation of the traditional snooker rules.[3] The draw was randomised before each round. All matches were played over a single frame, each of which lasted up to 10 minutes.[3][4] 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.[3] All foul shots award the opponent a ball in hand. Unlike traditional snooker, if a ball does not hit a cushion on every shot, it is a foul.[4] Rather than a coin toss, a lag is used to choose which player breaks.[4] In the event of a draw, each player receives a shot at the blue ball this is known as a "blue ball shootout". The player who pots the ball with the cue ball from inside the D and the blue ball on its spot with the opponent missing wins the match.[4] The event was broadcast by Eurosport.

Prize fund

[edit]

The total prize fund for the event was £171,000 with the winner receiving £50,000.[5] The breakdown of prize money is shown below:

  • Winner: £50,000
