The World Snooker Ltd (WSL) is the commercial entity responsible for running and administrating snooker’s professional circuit, including prestigious ranking tournaments such as the World Championship, UK Championship and the International Championship, as well as invitation events such as the Masters and Snooker Shoot Out.

Since 2010 World Snooker Ltd works in a close strategic cooperation with SportStat, a UK based sports data provider, specialising in sports such as Snooker, Darts, Rugby Union & Rugby League, that have been instrumental in supplying the software and infrastructure to deliver live action from all corners of the globe.
