💨 Abstract

Zhao Xintong, a Chinese snooker player, won the World Snooker Championship under amateur status, having served a 20-month ban for match-fixing and betting on snooker. Despite initially appearing that amateur players wouldn't retain ranking points, the World Snooker Tour (WST) has since clarified that Zhao will indeed rise to number 11 in the world rankings, keeping the points he earned.
