The Snooker Shoot Out is a snooker tournament. It has been played since 1990. It is played under different rules from other snooker. Each match consists of one frame. It is only 10 minutes long. Every shot is timed. Every shot must be completed in either 10 or 15 seconds.[1]

Liam Davies was 12 years old when he played in 2019. He was the youngest player to play in a professional ranking event.[2] In 2023, 14-year-old Vladislav Gradinari won two matches. He was the youngest player to win a match.[3][4] The current champion is Mark Allen, who defeated Cao Yupeng in the 2023 final.[5]

The crowd does not remain quiet during play. The event has become known for its loud crowd.[6]
