💨 Abstract

Zhao Xintong, a Chinese snooker player, won the World Snooker Championship under amateur status despite a 20-month ban for match-fixing and betting. His victory earned him £500,000 and a ranking that could potentially place him among the world's top 16. However, due to ambiguous rules, there was confusion about his eligibility to receive these ranking points as an amateur.
