India Open postponed
from worldsnooker.com
This season's
Indian Open world ranking event in Mumbai has been postponed, with
the original dates of 13-17 October 2014 changed to 10-14 March
2015.
The Billiards and
Snooker Federation of India has advised World Snooker to change the
dates of the tournament. This follows the recent calling of a State
Election in Maharashtra during the period.
The qualifying
round in Barnsley was due to take place from September 18 to 21 and
has been moved to February.
World Snooker
Chairman Barry Hearn said "This is an
unfortunate set of circumstances but following the advice we have
taken, we have no choice but to postpone the tournament. We have
worked swiftly to ensure new dates have been secured."
"Last year's inaugural Indian Open in New
Delhi was a fantastic success and we see snooker in India as having
incredible potential for growth. We look forward to next March and
the chance for players to experience Mumbai for the first time - and
for the fans there to witness the world's best in action."
