Live Championship League Snooker

Championship League Snooker returns in 2010 with a host of big names in the first group and bet365 will be streaming all games live for free.

Current World Champion John Higgins and reigning Premier League Champion Shaun Murphy are included, as is Judd Trump, who won the 2009 Championship League event.

The rest of the players in Group One, which will be held on Monday, January 4 and Tuesday, January 5, are Ryan Day, Mark Selby, Ali Carter and Stephen Maguire.

Championship League Snooker format
Seven groups of seven players produce seven winners who play in one further group where the eventual winner plays in the 2010 Premier League Snooker.

In each group every player will play each other once in a best of 5 frame match (21 matches) after which the top four players will contest in the play offs – semi finals and final over the best of 5 frames.

Players will be awarded 1 point for each match won, then most frames won and the least frames lost in the league series will determine their position in the league table. Dead frames will not be played in either the league or knock-out stages.

The play-off winner will progress to the final league of the Championship League Snooker while the players coming sixth and seventh in the group will be relegated and will not feature in any further group matches.

Therefore after the group has played its total 24 matches (21 League matches plus play offs semi finals and final) three players will leave and be replaced by a further three players.

Prize money - group phase
£3,000 Winner of each final. £2,000 runner-up in final. £1,000 losing semi-finalists. £100 per frame won.

Prize money - winners group.
