The Snooker Shoot Out is back. A competition known for its dramatic play and producing new winners from the world of snooker will surely not disappoint. Since it's inception in 2011, no player ranked inside the world’s top 16 has ever won the tournament. Last year, Hossein Vafaei beat Mark Williams in the final and subsequently became the first player from Iran to win a ranking title.
