World Billiards Championships in India

India will host the World Billiards Championship for the next four years.

The premier event was held in Bengaluru in 2016 when champion cueist Pankaj Advani had triumphed in the 150-UP format beating Peter Gilchrist of Singapore.

The World Billiards Championship (previously known as the World Amateur Billiards Championship) is the premier, international, non-professional tournament for the game of English billiards. Dating to some form to 1951, the event has been sanctioned by the International Billiards and Snooker Federation since 1973.
