I like watching snooker, but seeing so many problems in the organization made me think of new ideas. Organizing open tournaments with so many players is not something I support. This is a problem of Tennis as well. I am in favor of grouping players into leagues. I propose three leagues for Snooker. The top 32 players in the 2 years list will play in a Premier League, like in Football, for a year. The next 64 will play in League 1 and the remaining will play in the Amateur League.
Premier League will have tournaments with high frame count. The players will earn points according to the frames they win. As a result, a player loosing at the decider will get much more points than the one white washed. The games won on quarter finals and beyond will award extra points. All games will be played out of 15 red balls. There will be no Shoot-Out. Each frame won will award 15 points to the player. The tournament price money will be independently determined from the points. Every tournament will award points unlike the current Masters.
League 1 will have tournaments with lower frame count. The players will earn points according to the frames they win. In addition to the classical snooker, there will be 6-10 red ball tournaments as well as multiple Shoot-Outs. Frames won on 6-10 red ball and Shoot-Out will award 10 points. Amateur League will also have similar tournaments.
The objective is to make all leagues attractive to the audience and award the players fairly.
