History
In 1930, British cue sports company Burroughes and Watts organised the first edition of what would become the Women's Professional Billiards Championship.[2][3] At the time, many billiard halls in the UK did not admit women.[4][5] Later that year, the firm announced a Women's Amateur Billiards Championship.[6] The first rounds would be played at regional venues, with the regional winners qualifying for the semi-finals and final at Burroughes Hall in London.[6][7]Ruth Harrison was the champion from 23 participants, and the highest break made was 28.[8][1]
The Women's Billiards Association took over responsibility for the tournament from the 1932 edition, which had 41 entries.[1]Thelma Carpenter made the highest break, 45, on her way to winning the title.[1] Capenter won in 1933 and 1934 to complete a hat-trick of victories, before turning professional and going on to compete in the Women's Professional Billiards Championship. Vera Seals, a receptionist from Chesterfield that had learnt the game from Joe Davis, took the 1935 title, and set a new highest break record of 62.[9][10] The tournament was held regularly until 1940, but then put on hold until after World War II. From 1947 to 1980 the tournament was held most years, with Vera Selby winning eight titles, and Maureen Baynton (Née Barrett) winning six. Evelyn Morland-Smith was another player to win multiple titles; her last was in 1960 when she was 75.[11][12]
After a period of dormancy from 1980, the tournament was revived in 1998, when Karen Corr won the first of two titles. The dominant player since the 1998 revival has been Emma Bonney, who has won the title 13 times.
As of 2024, World Billiards (WBL), a subsidiary company of the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association, runs the competition. In June 2019, the International Billiards and Snooker Federation (IBSF) and World Billiards agreed that the World Billiards Championship would be held by the WBL in 2019 in Australia and by the IBSF in 2020 and to co-operate to avoid tournament dates clashing.[13] The tournament was not held in 2020 or 2021.[14]
