World Doubles Championship (snooker)
- World Doubles Championship (snooker)
The World Doubles Championship, also known as the "Hofmeister World Doubles" (1982-6) or the "Fosters World Doubles" (1987), was a non-ranking snooker tournament held from 1982 to 1987. Created to capitalise on the growing popularity of televised snooker, and to offer a slightly different version of the game, it was initially staged at the "Crystal Palace National Recreation Centre" before being moved to the "Derngate Centre" in Northampton after one year. By the end of the 1980s, other, more significant, events were making up the snooker calendar and the tournament was finally abandoned in 1987. Four of the six tournaments were won by the pairing of Steve Davis and Tony Meo.
