Australian Snooker Championship at RACV has been postponed till a later date to be announced.
This has been brought about because of the problems that Covid19 has created with interstate border closures.
We hope the Australian Snooker Championship 2021 will go ahead at a later date this year.
George Hoy
Tournament convenor.
Dear Members,
We welcome today’s announcement from the Victorian Government. Venues are permitted to open from midnight tonight and we understand that most are choosing to do so. Due to the mask wearing requirements the VBSA Snooker and Billiards tournaments and pennant competition will remain on pause.
Please rest assured that the VBSA is in constant talks with the relevant authorities in an effort to get us all back to playing the game we love. We are still hoping to complete season 1 of pennant and we will update you all within the next two weeks as to our plans.
In the meantime, we would like to ask you to please do your bit and get vaccinated. The road out of this is through vaccinations and we urge everyone to roll up your sleeve and get your jabs as soon as you are eligible.
Kind regards
Your vaccinated Secretary
Jon Moss
ATTENTION HAT TRICK PLAYERS

The new cut off date for entries will now be ongoing so if you would like to enter when the new date is announced please do, the current entries remain unchanged, this morning's draw will apply. I will however apply and share any relevant changes.
Apologies for the unforeseen and unavoidable inconvenience. Again, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
GEORGE SPITERI
TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR
Due to the Victorian goverment annoucement today the VBSA has decided with all the uncertainty.
The Victorian State Snooker Championship will be moved to 28th - 29th August.
Closing date for entries 21st August.
The VBSA mourns the passing of long-time member John Marcard, who died aged 81 on July 13th. John was a great supporter of billiards and snooker, competing for the RACV Club for many years in VBSA Pennant, and more recently in the VBSA City Clubs Circuit, where he represented the RACV every year since that competition’s inception in 1990. John was a keen clubman, golfer and bridge player, a great raconteur, and gave great service to others through his record 28-year term as an RACV Board member, as President of the Australian Club, and as Chairman of State Trustees, among numerous other board and committee roles.
Perhaps John’s greatest legacy to our sport is the present-day RACV Club billiards room. It is largely due to John’s unobtrusive influence in RACV Club affairs that Melbourne today has such a magnificent billiard room, comfortable and inviting for RACV Club members but at the same time capable of hosting major events, including the 2019 World Billiards Championship which drew universal praise from competitors officials and spectators alike.
The VBSA is extremely grateful for the services of John Marcard, and passes our condolences to his wife Mal and family members.
RIP John Marcard 10.1.1940 – 13.7.21
Paul Cosgriff, VBSA President

From ABSC website.
"The ABSC, World Billiards Ltd and the VBSA are disappointed to announce that the 2021 Pacific International and Australian National Billiards have again been postponed. The current travel restrictions and ongoing uncertainty mean that it is not possible to hold truly representative events at this time. The tournaments will be rescheduled once conditions are appropriate, and all players who are currently registered will be kept informed of developments personally.
The VBSA will now hold the Victorian State Billiards Championship on the weekend of 31 July and 1 August, with semi-finals and the final to be played in the following week. Arrangements for entry to this tournament and for the refund of entry fees already paid will be sent to all participants and posted on vbsa.org.au”
Regards
Simon Fortune
Secretary General
Australian Billiards & Snooker Council"
