Tournament format
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 20 seconds while the final five had a 15-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 break off 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 pots 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.
64 players contested the tournament, which was shown on Sky, the first time that Sky has shown a World Snooker event live since 2004.http://www.worldsnooker.com/news-152922.htm Sky to televise World Snooker Shoot-Out worldsnooker.com World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association 17 May 2010 18 May 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20100520041343/http://www.worldsnooker.com/news-152922.htm 20 May 2010 dead http://www.worldsnooker.com/world_seniors_news(Sky_To_Televise_World_Seniors_Championship)-2463.htm?tid=170 Sky to televise World Seniors Championship worldsnooker.com World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association 19 August 2010 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20101103184006/http://www.worldsnooker.com/world_seniors_news%28Sky_To_Televise_World_Seniors_Championship%29-2463.htm?tid=170 3 November 2010 http://www.worldsnooker.com/page/WorldSnookerShoot-OutArticle/0,,13165~2270050,00.html Rules worldsnooker.com World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association 20 January 2011 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20120609123521/http://www.worldsnooker.com/page/WorldSnookerShoot-OutArticle/0%2C%2C13165~2270050%2C00.html 9 June 2012 Shoot Out 2011 http://www.global-snooker.com/professional-tournaments-one-frame-shoot-out-2011.asp Global Snooker 20 January 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20110131003943/http://www.global-snooker.com/professional-tournaments-one-frame-shoot-out-2011.asp 31 January 2011 usurped dmy-all
