IPA Amateur Series

Following the success of last season’s series, where clubs across the country hosted qualifying events leading to a national Grand Final, the standard and opportunity continue to grow. The 2025 Grand Finals were won by Jonathan Price, who has since taken up his IPA Professional status for the 2026 season, proving the series is a genuine route to the professional tour.

A National Pathway to the Top

For 2026, 15 clubs across Scotland, England, and Wales will each host their own IPA Amateur Series, with all roads leading to the IPA Amateur Series Grand Finals, held at Royal Sports Lounge on 7–8 November 2026.

Each venue will host four ranking events, with players earning ranking points and prize money at every event. The further a player progresses, the more points and prize money they receive.

At the conclusion of each venue’s four events, the Top 8 ranked players from each club will qualify for the Grand Finals.

The Grand Finals

The IPA Amateur Series Grand Finals will bring together the Top 8 players from each of the 15 venues, competing for a total £11,000 prize fund, including:

? £4,000 first prize

? An invitation onto the IPA Professional Tour for 2027

This event represents one of the most significant opportunities available to amateur players in UK pool.

Each individual qualifying event will pay out the following prize money:

Winner: £240

Runner-Up: £120

Semi-Finalists: £60

Quarter-Finalists: £30

In addition to prize money, vital ranking points will be awarded at each stage.
