Snooker Shootout
Hi Vinitsky i have a question for you regarding the above. do you agree if next season's shootout is played to the same rules as this season and is included in the ranking event finals section next year there would be no reason for this season's and previous versions not to be added to the non-ranking section ?. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.167.254.152 (talk) 19:50, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
 * It's most likely not me who's going to decide in which section to put this season's Shoot-Out, but nevertheless I think I'd insist on leaving previous editions in the variant section. But I don't see why you are aldready so concerned about this matter. Vinitsky14 (talk) 20:27, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

because i like things to be right,and i think it's wrong at the moment simple as that as a matter of interest why do you think it is ok ?. did you ask betty logan to change this ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.251.143.193 (talk) 21:52, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

I have contacted World Snooker about the Shootout and they have told me they define it as a non-ranking event not a variant event from the period of 2011-2016. I want to forward it on to you to prove it once and for all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.251.194.37 (talk) 15:25, 18 July 2016 (UTC)


 * If you take a look at the World Snooker official calendar, you will probably notice that according to their classification there are no events called non-ranking or variant, they divide everything into ranking and invitational. Ranking events are the events open to all professionals and carrying ranking points. Each event that isn't ranking is invitational (which means that the competitors are invited on certain grounds), which includes such events as the Masters, Shoot-Out and Six Red WC. At Wikipedia, we classify invitational events played under standard rules as non-ranking so that the wording is more clear. If an event is called variant, it is implied that it is a non-ranking (or invitational, using World Snooker wording) event played under variated rules of snooker. Therefore, your attempts to change the classification of Shoot-Out is nothing but a pure verbalism. I don't know who told you that the classification used in Wikipedia should be word-by-word the same as that of World Snooker, but even if you have indeed contacted them and received a reply which you considered a confirmation of your position, it doesn't matter much for the Wikipedia due to the aforementioned reason.


 * That is my final and complete explanation. Besides that, I share 's opinion on the subject and I think that the arguments & sources provided by him/her should have been sufficient enough to convince you in the incorrectness of your position. Vinitsky14  ( talk ) 19:25, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

As a contributor to Articles for deletion/European Masters (snooker) which resulted in a "no consensus" I am letting you know have started a discussion at Talk:European_Open_(snooker) to propose remerging European Masters (snooker) back into European Open (snooker) should you care to contribute an opinion.
