This was two Miscrosoft Word files and it came out looking even worse than this when I included all the Group Stage tables! So I've taken the Group stages out (except for the earliest years) and just left the knockout stage results. If anyone wants the group tables as well please e-mail me and I can send them the Word files as an attachment. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Signatures" title="Wikipedia:Signatures">unsigned</a> comment added by <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/92.16.21.166" title="Special:Contributions/92.16.21.166">92.16.21.166</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:92.16.21.166&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:92.16.21.166 (page does not exist)">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:IBSF_World_Snooker_Championship#c-92.16.21.166-2009-10-11T18:54:00.000Z-IBSF_World_Snooker_Championship" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">18:54, 11 October 2009 (UTC)</a><span data-mw-comment-end="c-92.16.21.166-2009-10-11T18:54:00.000Z-IBSF_World_Snooker_Championship"></span></span><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-92.16.21.166-2009-10-11T18:54:00.000Z-IBSF_World_Snooker_Championship"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Betty_Logan-2009-10-11T19:16:00.000Z-92.16.21.166-2009-10-11T18:54:00.000Z"></span>The problem with this is that all results have to be referenced so they can't be added to the main article.

It may be worth contacting <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.global-snooker.com/">Global Snooker</a> because it follows the amateur scene quite closely and seeing if they want the info for their archives.

However, <i>The Billiard Player</i> (the official magazine of the <a href="/wiki/Billiards_Association_and_Control_Council" class="mw-redirect" title="Billiards Association and Control Council">Billiards Association and Control Council</a>, which was the world as well as UK governing body for amateur snooker at the time) reported the tournament as "the Australian Open Snooker Tournament" rather than as a world championship. Given that Frank Edwards (the runner-up) was in Australia for the World Amateur Billiards championship, perhaps the reporters assumed the snooker was a world championship too. A <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/217213302"><i>Brisbane Telegraph</i> article</a> mentions that "England is placing great importance on it as a lead up to the inauguration of world amateur snooker championships".
