World Doubles Championship
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The World Doubles Championship, also known as the Hofmeister World Doubles (1982–86) or the Fosters World Doubles (1987) for sponsorship purposes, was a non-ranking professional snooker tournament held from 1982 to 1987 as the major doubles event.
Created to capitalise on the growing popularity of televised snooker, and to offer a slightly different version of the game, it was initially staged at the Crystal Palace National Recreation Centre in London before being moved to the Derngate Centre in Northampton after one year. By the end of the 1980s, other, more significant, events were making up the snooker calendar and the tournament was finally abandoned in 1987.
Four of the six tournaments were won by the pairing of Steve Davis and Tony Meo.
