World Snooker is delighted to announce Star Tables as its new official table supplier.
 

This follows a new agreement with the Beijing Xingwei Sports Goods Co, a subsidiary company of Beijing Xingpai Group. The agreement covers all ranking and invitational events worldwide, excluding the current events in China, for the next three seasons.
 

The local promoters for World Snooker’s current events in China will retain the right to appoint the official table supplier for those events. 
 

Star Tables have been used at World Snooker events in China, including the China Open, Shanghai Masters and Jiangsu Classic, in recent years. This followed a stringent approval process which concluded with the Star Table being sanctioned by World Snooker.
 

A World Snooker spokesman said: “We have no doubts about the quality of Star Tables, and this has been backed up by positive feedback from players. We are therefore pleased to sign this agreement with Beijing Xingwei Sports Goods Co and to use Star Tables for more events in the UK and beyond.”

 
Star Tables will be installed at Pontin’s, Prestatyn and at the World Snooker Academy at the English Institute of Sport – Sheffield, in readiness for the 2009/10 season.
