Here, all matches except the final were decided over just one single frame. This event returned years later in 2011, when it was renamed to what it is known today – the Snooker Shoot Out.<\/p>\n\n
\n When it was relaunched, the tournament had a one-frame shoot out format with a random draw and a top prize of \u00a332,000. Back then, the top 64 players in the world rankings contested the tournament.
