The 2024 Championship League Invitational (officially the 2024 BetVictor Championship League Invitational for sponsorship reasons) is an upcoming professional non-ranking snooker tournament, which will take place from 2 January 2024 to 2 March 2024 at the Morningside Arena in Leicester, England.
John Higgins is the defending champion, having won the tournament for the fourth time after beating Judd Trump 3–1 in the final of the 2023 event.[1]
Format
25 professionals take part. There is no audience. Players earn money for every frame won, and there are also prizes for being a semi-finalist, runner-up, and winner of each group, with more money involved in the winners' group. Since 2010 all matches are the best of five. The competition runs over eight groups, each consisting of seven players.
From the league stage of the first seven groups the top four qualify for a play-off, the winner of which qualifies for the Winners' Group. The bottom two players of each league are eliminated and the remaining four move to the next group, where they are joined by three more players until the seventh group.
In the first phase, Group 1 will be played on 2 and 3 January, and Group 2 will be played on 4 and 5 January.[2][3][4] In the second phase, Group 3 will be played on 5 and 6 February, Group 4 will be played on 7 and 8 February, and Group 5 will be played on 9 and 10 February.[5][6][7][8] In the third phase, Group 6 will be played on 26 and 27 February, Group 7 will be played on 28 and 29 February, and the Winners' Group will be played on 1 and 2 March.[9][10][11][12]
The group winners play in the final group with the champion taking a place in the Champion of Champions.
