With an exciting new format in place for the 2011 PartyCasino.com Premier League Snooker, Matchroom Sport can announce the eleven venues and fixtures for this year’s event. 

With ten players in the PartyCasino.com Premier League, each player competes on four nights only. With three matches per evening – two semi-finals followed by the final – each match is the best of five frames with no dead frames played.

In the event of a match reaching two frames each, the decider will be played to the rules of the hugely successful ‘Shoot-Out’ tournament, which means a maximum of ten minutes, a 20 second shot-clock for the first five minutes and then 15 seconds for the remaining five.

Points will be awarded for frames won; therefore the maximum number of points a player can gain are six in one evening and 24 over the whole qualifying section of the Premier League. By contrast, the minimum number of points a player can win is zero.
