More than 40 players will take part in the upcoming fourth edition of the Southern Division Billiards and Snooker Association’s open ranking tournament.
Sponsored by Civil Construction Pte Limited, the tournament will bring in players from across the country to compete.
Stiff competition is expected to appear in the tournament as it will see the meeting of seasoned and new competitors.
The association’s president David Ratnam acknowledged the backing of the tournament’s sponsors in supporting it this year.
