ShootersPool - Creative Snooker Challenge Matches

​

Challenge matches are to give players experience of longer format matchplay snooker, longer format matches differ quite a lot from the single frames that a majority of ShootersPool snooker players are used to, you will get to experience the ebb and flow of matchplay as each player goes through different stages of both positive and negative periods of play.  A longer match will allow you to settle into a better rhythm and making a good start is not so important as with a single frame match.
