  • World Snooker Championship 2016 FAQ
    World Snooker Championship 2016 FAQ Written by Warren Pilkington, 14th April 2016. Will be updated as the tournament progresses where possible. Tournament What is the World Snooker Championship? The World Snooker Championship traditionally takes place in April and early May over a 17 day period with the final day being on the May Bank Holiday Monday. This year’s tournament starts Saturday 16th April and finishes Monday 2nd May 2016. Who is the defending champion? Stuart Bingham is the defending champion, who defeated Shaun Murphy 18-15. It was Stuart’s first World Championship title. Where is the tournament held? The tournament is held at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, and has been since 1977. It is often referred to as “the home of snooker” by fans, commentators and players alike. Why The Crucible Theatre? When promoter Mike Watterson’s wife saw a play at this intimate theatre in the round, she recommended it to him as an ideal venue. The closeness of the crowd to the stage (notably with two tables) and the 980 seated capacity gives it that special aura. What is the Crucible Curse? Since the World Championship has been held at the Crucible Theatre, no first time World Champion has gone on to win the championship the following year. This is known as the Crucible Curse. The closest anyone has come to breaking the Curse was Joe Johnson, who after winning in 1986 against Steve Davis lost to Steve Davis in the 1987 final 18-14. Who qualifies for the tournament automatically? The top 16 ranked players at the final event ranking cutoff (the China Open) will qualify.
