Following the final three events of the regular season last Sunday, Hamim Hussain is confirmed as the 2022/23 EPSB Open Series number one ranked player and wins a free Q School entry for this June.
Helped by five event victories throughout the campaign – at four different venues – Hussain comfortably finished top of the table, 79 points ahead of second-placed Ryan Davies, last year’s ranking winner.
This season’s EPSB Open Series has been another success with several new venues hosting events and over 420 players taking part.
The next 16 ranked players in the rankings – who are eligible – will be invited to a playoff event at the Tradewell Snooker Club in Hull on Saturday 22nd April, with the winner also getting a free Q School entry this June. This event has kindly been sponsored by Tradewell, who have been massive supporters of the Series since its inception in 2021.
