History

By 1951 the event " (British ) Empire Billiards Championship" .. The first " amateur" championship was held under the auspices of the Billiards Association & Control Council ( BACC, based in London )

In 1971, after many years of discussion, the "World Billiards & Snooker Council" ( WBSC ) was formed. 1973 changed its name to International Billiards & Snooker Federation ( IBSF ). The name change came about because many foreign national associations complained that the same place oversaw both the English, the domestic game and the game at international level. As a result, the IBSF took control of the organization of the non-professional championships, both in snooker as well as in English - Billiards.

The first winner was not of the British Commonwealth, was the Thais Praput Chaithanasakun the tournament in 1999 in Ireland.
