World Snooker Unofficial Champion

Having seen the unofficial world soccer championship and other like projects I thought it would be interesting to do something similar in snooker with the defending world champion needing to defend his (or her!) title each time the step onto the baize

To this end I originally looked at this as being every single match played by the existing world champion. However this proved a little difficult due mainly to matches played over barely any frames, small tournaments, existing data and exact dates and times of matches and also the players challenging for the "title" and routes it would take

I then considered only using ranking events, but again certain tournaments include best of 3 or 5 frames or just one like the shootout, qualifying matches that don't have dates or times shown, and the fact this would exclude the Masters and Champion of Champions

So I decided to select only the biggest tournaments - the triple crown events (World, UK & Masters), and have also added the Champion of Champions, and The Tour final Events, Players Championship, Tour Championship & World Grand Prix,  as this gives you top 32 players in the main or best players in that season, and a fair number of best of frames for the world championship to be decided on

The Premise is simple, the defending champion retains the title if they win or draw the challenger wins the title with a win and will defend it in their next match. At the end of every season the winner of the World Snooker Championship holds the belt and defends it at the next qualifying tournament in the new season. If the champion does not compete in that event then the title is not contested until they play again in an event that meets the criteria.

In the unlikely event a holder retires as champion then a match between the last player they beat in the next qualifying tournament and their next opponent would decide the new titleholder with the winner named champion after the match.
