In 2018, the World Taiwan Federation announced the establishment of the Senator snooker Tour to provide snooker players over the age of 40 to participate.
The 2018/2019 season is the first Snooker Tour season with a total of 6 events: the European Open, the British Championship, the Irish Masters, the 6 Red Ball World Championships, the Elders World Championship and the Masters.
In fact, as early as the 2017/2018 season, snooker legend Hendry led the promotion of participation in the Snooker Senator Tour, which had 4 races at that time: the British Senators Championship, the World Senators Championship, the Irish Masters and the Elder Masters.
The 2017 British Senators Championships featured eight seeded players, the top four seeded players being John Thompson. Parot, Stephen. Hendry, Jimmy. White and Ken. Dahdi, 4 places in the quarter-finals are scheduled. Four other players advance from the qualifiers to the main round, competing with seeded players 5 to 8 for the remaining four quarter-finals. There are a total of 12 regular competitors. In the final, White and Dahdi were the finalists, in which White defeated Dahdi 4:2 to win the tournament.
In the 2018/2019 season, Ireland's Dahdi and Brazil's Figueredo met in the final of the Elder England Championship, and finally Ken. Dahdi beat Igor 4-1. Figueredo, who won the Championship of the Elders.
For the 2019/2020 season, Jimmy Bergeron. White once again reached the final of the Old England Championship, where his opponent was Irish player Michael White. Judge. Unfortunately, White lost to Michael in the final by a score of 2:4. Judge, missed to lift the second trophy of the tournament.

Hendry's match with Dahdi was undoubtedly the most exciting of the four matches, but unfortunately it was scheduled in the early morning of the 7th, and the time was not very friendly. Dahdi won the 18-12 victory over Hendry in the final of the 1997 World Championships, fixing Hendry's World Championship winning streak at 5 consecutive titles.
This year's Snooker Veterans Championship is more looking forward to Jimmy. White can meet hendry in the final, and the showdown between the two snooker legends will be particularly eye-catching!
