IBSF World Billiards Championship
- IBSF World Billiards Championship
The IBSF World Billiards Championship (previously known as the World Amateur Billiards Championship) is the premier non-professional tournament for the game of English billiards in the world. The event series (not to be confused with the World Professional Billiards Championship) is today sanctioned by the International Billiards and Snooker Federation.
History
In 1971 the World Billiards & Snooker Council was formed, changing its name in 1973 to the International Billiards & Snooker Federation. The name change came about because of the dissatisfaction of many overseas national associations that the Billiards and Snooker Control Council (then the Billiards Association & Control Council) should be the governing body of both the English domestic game and the game at international level. Consequently, the IBSF took control of the organisation of the non-professional championships of both snooker and billiards.
