A total of 25 players |
A total of 25 players were initially invited to the event, with the matches played [[Behind closed doors (sport)|behind closed doors]] without an audience. Players earned prize money for every {{cuegloss|frame}} won, as well as being semi{{nbh}}finalists, runner{{nbh}}up, and winner of each group, with more money involved in the Winners' Group. Since [[2010 Championship League|2010]], all matches were played as the [[Playoff format#Higher number of games|best of five]] frames. |
||
The tournament |
The tournament was played in a [[Round-robin tournament|round{{nbh}}robin]] format, consisted of eight groups of seven players. The top four players in each group qualified for a play{{nbh}}off, with the winner entering the Winners' Group. The bottom two players in each group were eliminated, and the remaining four moved to the next group, where they were joined by three more players. This format was played for each group, from one to seven. In each group, the players were ranked by the number of matches won, then by most frames won, and then by least frames lost. If two players were tied by these criteria, the player who won the match between them was ranked higher in the table. The group play{{nbh}}off semi{{nbh}}finals were contested between the 1st and 4th place players in the table, and between the 2nd and 3rd place players in the table. The Winners' Group was played at the end, and its play{{nbh}}off winner became champion of the tournament.<ref name="CLS_inv_format">{{cite web |title=Championship League Snooker |url=https://championshipleaguesnooker.co.uk/invitational/ |website=championshipleaguesnooker.co.uk |access-date=10 August 2024 |archive-date=13 April 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240413151647/https://championshipleaguesnooker.co.uk/invitational/ |url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="WST_tournament">{{cite web |title=BetVictor Championship League Invitational |url=https://www.wst.tv/news/2023/december/31/betvictor-championship-league-invitational-/ |work=[[World Snooker Tour]] |date=31 December 2023 |access-date=28 January 2024 |archive-date=28 January 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240128122012/https://www.wst.tv/news/2023/december/31/betvictor-championship-league-invitational-/ |url-status=live}}</ref> |

The 2024 Championship League Invitational (officially the 2024 BetVictor Championship League Invitational for sponsorship reasons) was a professional non‑ranking snooker tournament, which took place from 2 January 2024 to 13 March 2024 at the Leicester Arena in Leicester, England.
John Higgins was the defending champion, having won the tournament for the fourth time after beating Judd Trump 3–1 in the final of the 2023 event.[1][2] He was defeated 3–0 by Joe O'Connor in the Winners' Group semi‑finals.
There were three maximum breaks achieved during the tournament, by Kyren Wilson in Group 3, by John Higgins in Group 5, and by Joe O'Connor in Group 7. This is only the third time that three maximums have been made in an event, the first being at the 2012 UK Championship, and the second at the 2017 German Masters.
Mark Selby won the tournament, beating Joe O'Connor 3–1 in the final.[3]
Format
[edit]A total of 25 players were initially invited to the event, with the matches played behind closed doors without an audience. Players earned prize money for every frame won, as well as being semi‑finalists, runner‑up, and winner of each group, with more money involved in the Winners' Group. Since 2010, all matches were played as the best of five frames.
The tournament was played in a round‑robin format, consisted of eight groups of seven players. The top four players in each group qualified for a play‑off, with the winner entering the Winners' Group. The bottom two players in each group were eliminated, and the remaining four moved to the next group, where they were joined by three more players. This format was played for each group, from one to seven. In each group, the players were ranked by the number of matches won, then by most frames won, and then by least frames lost. If two players were tied by these criteria, the player who won the match between them was ranked higher in the table. The group play‑off semi‑finals were contested between the 1st and 4th place players in the table, and between the 2nd and 3rd place players in the table. The Winners' Group was played at the end, and its play‑off winner became champion of the tournament.[4][5]
Groups 1 and 2 were played from 2 to 5 January. Groups 3, 4, and 5 were played from 5 to 10 February. Groups 6 and 7 were played from 26 to 29 February, and the Winners' Group was played on 12 and 13 March. The champion takes a place in the Champion of Champions.[5][14]
The event was broadcast by DAZN in Germany, Spain, the United States and Brazil; Fox Sports in Australia; Nova in Czechia and Slovakia; Premier in the Philippines; Rigour Media in China; Viaplay in the Baltics, Iceland and the Netherlands; Viasat in Scandinavia; and by Matchroom.live in all other territories. It was also streamed live on the Matchroom‑Multi‑Sport YouTube channel.[15]
