2015 IBSF World Snooker Championship – Men's

Amateur snooker tournament IBSF World Snooker Championship 2015 11 9 2015 11 21 y Hurghada Egypt IBSF $16,000 IND Pankaj Advani (141) IND Pankaj Advani CHN Zhao Xintong 8–6 2014 2016 The 2015 IBSF World Snooker Championship is an amateur snooker tournament that took place from 9 November to 21 November 2015 in Hurghada, Egypt. It was the 41st edition of the IBSF World Snooker Championship and also doubled as a qualification event for the World Snooker Tour. The event was originally due to take place in Sharm el-Sheikh, however due to the Metrojet Flight 9268 crash the tournament was relocated to Hurghada. Because of this many competitors withdrew from the competition amid safety fears, Including the entire Libyan, Russian, South Korean and Sri Lankan teams. This ended up leaving some of the groups featuring as little as four players who would subsequently all qualify for the knockout stage of the tournament regardless of their results in the group stage. The final would go on to feature a contest between 2003 IBSF World Snooker Champion Pankaj Advani and Chinese player Zhao Xintong who had previously reached the 2013 IBSF World Snooker Championship final before losing 8–4 to fellow country man Zhou Yuelong.http://www.ibsf.info/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=463:zhao-reaches-the-final&Itemid=180 Zhao reaches the final 20 November 2015 IBSF 20 November 2015 Number 6 seed Advani would eventually go on to win the championship defeating Xintong 8–6 in the final.
