The tournament was played using a variation of the traditional snooker rules. The draw was randomised before each round. All matches were played over a single {{cuegloss|frame}}, each of which lasted up to 10 minutes. The event featured a variable {{cuegloss|shot clock}}; shots played in the first five minutes were allowed 15 seconds while the final five had a 10-second timer. All {{cuegloss|foul shots}} awarded the opponent a {{cuegloss|ball in hand}}. Unlike traditional snooker, if a ball did not hit a {{cuegloss|cushion}} on every shot, it was a foul. Rather than a [[coin toss]], a [[Lag (cue sports)#L|lag]] was used to choose which player {{cuegloss|break off|breaks}}. In the event of a draw, each player received a shot at the {{cuegloss|blue ball}} this is known as a "blue ball shootout". The player who {{cuegloss|pots|potted}} the ball with the {{cuegloss|cue ball}} from inside the {{cuegloss|D}} and the blue ball on its spot with the opponent missing won the match. |

The 2015 Shoot Out (officially the 2015 Betway Snooker Shoot Out) was a professional non-ranking snooker tournament that took place between 4–6 March 2015 at the Circus Arena in Blackpool. It was played under a variation of the standard rules of snooker.
Dominic Dale was the defending champion,[1] but he lost 20–65 against Luca Brecel in round one.[2]
Michael White won his first professional title by defeating Xiao Guodong 54–48 in the final.[3][4]
Tournament format
[edit]The tournament was played using a variation of the traditional snooker rules. The draw was randomised before each round. All matches were played over a single frame, each of which lasted up to 10 minutes. The event featured a variable shot clock; shots played in the first five minutes were allowed 15 seconds while the final five had a 10-second timer. All foul shots awarded the opponent a ball in hand. Unlike traditional snooker, if a ball did not hit a cushion on every shot, it was a foul. Rather than a coin toss, a lag was used to choose which player breaks. In the event of a draw, each player received a shot at the blue ball this is known as a "blue ball shootout". The player who potted the ball with the cue ball from inside the D and the blue ball on its spot with the opponent missing won the match.
