World Snooker have today announced plans for a new world tour that would see the number of ranking tournaments more than double to 15.
The tour would be run in conjunction with IMG, who look after World Snooker's international broadcasting rights.
The new expanded tour would be due to start next year.
Incidentally, the announcement comes just a week before World Snooker chairman Sir Rodney Walker is up for re-election. Promoter Barry Hearn, who runs snooker's Premier League and the Professional Darts Corporation, has offered to step in and run the sport if Walker is not re-elected.

Sir Rodney Walker has been voted out as World Snooker chairman at today's AGM.
Voting figures haven't been revealed but it's believed Walker was voted out by a majority of 32-24.
Fellow board members Jim McMahon and Mike Dunn (a current Main Tour professional) were also voted out, leaving Lee Doyle and Hamish McInnes as the only remanining board members.
The move paves the way for Barry Hearn to take over as chairman. The WPBSA will now look to co-opt new members to the board, starting with a current professional player. There is speculation this could be Steve Davis.

It's totally separate from the UK Championship. The Premier League is the tournament that is shown on Sky Sports on Thursday nights. It's not a ranking event and is promoted by Barry Hearn, the man who looks like becoming the new chairman of World Snooker.
First-to-7 is unusual. With the 25-second shot clock they have in the Premier League, I suppose it ends up being a similar length to a regular first-to-5 match.
At the UK Championship, the matches are first-to-9 and are played over 2 sessions.

It's a tournament where all the frames are played with only 6 reds instead of 15. It's taking place in Ireland, starting on December 15th. I'm guessing it might be on Eurosport but I'm not certain. 160 players are taking part in the event but I don't think Ronnie has entered, as far as I'm aware. Alex Higgins isn't related to John. Alex was a 2-time World Champion, winning in 1972 and 1982. That Ronnie v Burnett headline is probably a link to an old story. Ronnie played Burnett in the 1st round of the Grand Prix in October. Ronnie plays Matthew Stevens in the 1st round of the UK Championship on Monday.

As expected, Barry Hearn and Steve Davis have been co-opted to the board of the WPBSA.
Hearn is likely to be confirmed as chairman at a meeting after the UK Championship.
Eurosport has confirmed it will be showing the knockout stages of the World 6-Reds Championship live later this month.
