Snooker - Championship League (Invitation)
Until September 2020, this was an invitation event traditionally held at the Crondon Park Golf Club in Stock, England which used to act as a qualifier for the Premier League. When that event was ended in 2012, it became a means of booking a place in the Champion of Champions tournament. In 2020, this was the first tournament staged after the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, held behind closed doors at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes, England, under strict regulations. For the 2020/21 season, it was upgraded to Ranking Event status but reverted to Invitational status in 2021/22, when t was held at the Morningside Arena in Leicester, England.
