Stuart Bingham wins inaugural Pluto TV Snooker 900 professionals league title

Stuart Bingham finished top of the table to win the first Snooker 900 professional players event on Pluto TV.

The dedicated 24/7 snooker channel launched a few weeks ago with former world number ten Tony Drago winning the curtain-raising ‘Legends League’ ahead of John Parrott, Joe Johnson and Tony Knowles.

Since then, a plethora of the world’s top amateur players have taken to the 900 stage at the Crucible Sports and Social Club in Reading; Rory McLeod won the first weekly ‘Amateur League’ title, and last week Hammad Miah became the first cueist to complete the weekly double of winning the league competition and the Wednesday night knockout.

It’s been a while but ‘Winner winner chicken dinner’ 🏆🥇

With the world’s top 10 players in Saudi Arabia for the Riyadh Season Snooker Championship, it left the diary open for stars further down the rankings to be eligible to compete in this unique event away from the World Snooker Tour.

The 900 format is snooker against the clock. Frames can last no longer than 15 minutes - 900 seconds, hence the name - and there is a 20-second shot-clock in operation throughout.

Players must either touch a cushion or pot a ball on every shot, and all fouls are cueball in hand with the approaching player allowed to put the white wherever they like on the table.

If the frame is not completed at the end of the 15 minutes, whoever is leading in points wins the frame.

Bingham was joined by fellow professionals Jimmy White, Ken Doherty, Mark Davis and Reanne Evans for the three-day tournament.

The five played each other in a round robin format, with all matches being four frames. A point was earned for every frame won, and an additional point was available for every century break made.

World number 20 Bingham got off to a great start by whitewashing Ken Doherty 4-0 during the opening session before defeating Jimmy White 3-1 in the evening. Earlier on day one, White began in style with back-to-back tons in the first two frames of his 4-0 victory over Evans.

On day two, Bingham drew 2-2 with Davis before rounding off his fixture list with a 4-0 victory against Evans - who struggled with a neck/shoulder injury throughout the event - to finish with three wins and a draw.

It left the six-time ranking event champion in a very strong position on top of the table with 15 points having made two centuries, six points ahead of second-placed Davis who still had one game left to play.

Davis could still mathematically win the title, but his 2-2 draw with White on Wednesday afternoon confirmed Bingham as the champion.

Next up for Bingham - and the four other players who were involved in Reading - is UK Championship qualifying in Wigan. World champion in 2015 and Masters champion in 2020, Bingham will be trying to join an elite club by completing a ‘Career Triple Crown’.

Next week is the biggest snooker event yet for Pluto TV: The Crucible Cup (November 24 & 25) which carries a prize fund of over £70,000 and is set to feature John Higgins, Neil Robertson, Mark Selby, Mark Williams, Barry Hawkins, Xiao Guodong, Gary Wilson and Stephen Hendry.
