Seeds Set for Singapore
The final seeding list for the 2017 Eden World Women’s Snooker Championship has now been set following the recent Connie Gough Trophy.
This year’s World Women’s Championship will be held at the Lagoon Billiard Room, in Toa Payoh, Singapore on 13-19 March 2017, the first time that the event will be staged outside of the UK in over 20 years. The tournament carries a total prize fund of £15,000, with £5,000 going to the eventual champion.
The provisional format for the main event will see group stage matches played over the opening three days, with 16 players progressing to the knock-out stages. The top eight entered players will be seeded into eight groups, in accordance with the updated world ranking list following the Connie Gough Trophy earlier this month. These players will be guaranteed not to meet during the group stages.
The top eight seeds are:
- Reanne Evans (England)
- Ng On Yee (Hong Kong)
- Maria Catalano (England)
- Laura Evans (Wales)
- Tatjana Vasiljeva (Latvia)
- Suzie Opacic (England)
- Katrina Wan (Hong Kong)
- Rebecca Granger (England)
The remaining players will be drawn into the groups at random, with the draw to be carried out by representatives from tournament hosts Cuesports Singapore during the week commencing 6th March 2017.
