  • The GB9 season runs from January to December. 

  • The tour is open to men, ladies and juniors aged 14 and above (including wheelchair players).

  • GB9 is a closed tour and we do not offer open events.  Generally only registered tour players who have committed to playing the full season and paying the annual fee will be able to play in our events.

  • Players joining the tour will pay an annual fee in instalments. covering all entry, membership and administration costs for the whole year. 

  • Non members are not able to play at tour stops unless they are on the reserve list and they have been contacted by GB9 to advise that a spare place has become available.

  • There are five tour stops each season all played in 4 star hotels on the world's best equipment.

  • We play to a pre-published match schedule starting Friday evening and finishing on Sunday evening.

  • Match times are published before the tournament so you can plan your travel arrangements.

  • 3 single knockout tournaments are held at each tour stop with all players entered into 2 of these so all players have at least 2 chances to win.

    - 16 players make up the Pro Division and compete against each other in the Pro Cup.  This is a double elimination event to the money stage, then single elimination to a finish.
    - The remaining 128 players make up the Challenge Division and compete against each other in the Challenge Cup (single elimination).
    - All 144 tour players compete in the main event (single elimination).
    - In addition to this there is a midnight flyer after the close of tournament play on Friday night and on Sunday we run the Plate, which is open to friends and spectators and all tour players who do not make it to the last 32 stage of the main event.

  • All tournaments are seeded offering an added incentive to improve your ranking.

  • The Pro Division attracts slightly higher entry fees but offers bigger prize money and is the place all Challenge Division players should aspire to be.

  • Prize money is guaranteed* (*see Prize money for details)

  • The ranking and seeding system offer valuable incentives for players of all abilities.

The Tour Committee reserve the right to amend the format, regulations, match schedule and prize structure at any time without prior notice.  However, we do not currently envisage having to make significant changes to these proposals.  If we do make any changes we will endeavour to update this website promptly and if it is a significant change we will also make an announcement on the Pro9 website.
