Following a landmark previous season which saw ranking events held in Germany and Singapore for the first time, the WLBS has confirmed that the World Women’s Championship will return to Asia for a second consecutive year from 12-18 March, 2018.

Last season was dominated mostly by 11-time world champion Reanne Evans and Hong Kong’s Ng On Yee.

They each won two out of the five ranking events with On Yee capturing her second world title in March.

The pair will be expected to be among the main challengers for every event again as the new season commences in Germany in a couple of months, where On Yee will be hoping to defend her Paul Hunter Women’s Classic crown.

All the best offers will be provided by snooker betting experts Free Super Tips for this and all other tournaments this season.

As in 2016, the new season will get under way in Germany, with the Paul Hunter Women’s Classic set to be held from 24-27 August, 2017.

The early stages of the event will be held at the Ballroom Nürnberg venue, with the final rounds to run alongside the professional Paul Hunter Classic tournament at the Stadthalle.

The event will be followed by the LITEtask UK Ladies Championship, which will once again be staged at the Northern Snooker Centre in Leeds on the weekend of 30 September – 1 October, 2017.

The same venue will also host the LITEtask Festival of Snooker on 13-17 April, 2018 – with players competing for a range of World Championship titles across a variety of singles and doubles competitions.

Information as to further provisional events, including the Eden Women’s Masters, will be released as soon as possible.

WLBS President Mandy Fisher said: “Over the past few years the World Women’s Snooker Tour, under WLBS, has gone from strength to strength, thanks to the support of the WPBSA and our sponsors Eden Resources, LITEtask and the Northern Snooker Centre.

“Once again we will be travelling around the globe and welcoming players from all nationalities to compete in our world ranking events that have no limitations and are open to any women in the world.”
