German Masters & Welsh Open
August 17, 2010
German Masters
The German Masters is a professional snooker tournament, and started life as the German Open. The German Masters was a ranking tournament for the World Championship from 1995 to 1997; however, when changing its name to the German Masters from German Open in 1998, it became a non-ranking tournament.
However, during this season (2010/2011), the German Masters shall become a ranking tournament again. It will continue to be known as the German Masters, and it will be held in Berlin’s Tempodrom between 2 and 6 February 2011.
Welsh Open
The Welsh Open replaced the Welsh Professional Championship (which started in 1980 and only involved Welsh players) in 1992, when it became a ranking tournament and brought in overseas players.
Due to the UK restrictions on tobacco advertising, the Regal Welsh Open (known as such because the event was sponsored by Regal until 2003), was without a sponsor until 2009, when Totesport.com (a betting company) became the sponsor.
The Welsh Open is played at the Newport Centre, although it has had a brief holiday at the Cardiff International Arena from 1999 to 2005.
This tournament takes place after the Masters.
