2023/2024 season of Fantasy Snooker is starting soon
Kjetil Hårtveit - Founder The summer break has been nice but it's time to get predicting. The 2023/2024 season of Fantasy Snooker is just around the corner, kicking off with the BetVictor European Masters on the 22nd of August (featuring top guns like Ronnie O'Sullivan, Judd Trump, Mark Selby, first seed and defending champion Kyren Wilson, Mark Allen, Neil Robertson, Shaun Murphy, and current World Champion Luca Brecel)...
Players points and values feature
Kjetil Hårtveit - Founder Today we are announcing our newest feature: player points and values 🎉. This feature gives further insight and transparency into the backbone of Fantasy Snooker and illustrates how the points and player value system is intertwined.
Note that this feature/tool is not just for the audience, but it also helps us in identifying anomalies by presenting our data in a more presentable and human-readable manner. It assisted us in solving a bug, originally reported by @lesPuzz, where certain tour players (in the 2022/2023 season this affected Stephen Hendry and Bai Langning) were not purchasable. Please note however, we will need to re-generate values for these players and at time of writing this is not yet done...
First season of Fantasy Snooker is history
Kjetil Hårtveit - Founder Brecel beat Mark Selby in a thrilling final to round up the first season of Fantasy Snooker! I hope you enjoyed the World Championship, I certainly did.

Preparations for the end of season and editable team names

We intentionally won't include full screenshots of the Hall of fame feature in this blog post so that you can see it fresh when the season ends and data is shown there (the winner of the first Fantasy Snooker season will be revealed!)...

Thank you for playing in Early Access
Kjetil Hårtveit - Founder I’d like to personally thank everyone who’s trying the game in this early stage. It’s lovely to see interest in something I built with passion ❤️. Note that this is just the beginning and we have many cool ideas for the future.
I hope you stick around for next season (2023/2024) which will be the first proper season. To prevail in an entire season is a whole different ball-game which requires consistency, strategy and grit. I hope you are ready for it 💪. Or if you just want to enjoy the ride, then you are most welcome to do so. Play like how you want to play...

Reminder to create a team before the World Championship
Kjetil Hårtveit - Founder The Judgement Day(s) are underway and the final 16 for the Crucible will soon be decided. Do you think any of the 16 qualifiers can pick up the crown come May the 1st? Will the winner be one of the favorites or could it be a player nobody would've guessed - except perhaps you? Are you a shrewdie waiting for the full draw to see...
Quality of life improvements before the Worlds!

Preparation for The Worlds in season 2022
Kjetil Hårtveit - Founder The last tournament of the 2022 season is coming up, The World Championship!

Kjetil Hårtveit - Founder Mobile support has been added. The design may not be fully on-point yet but the game be a lot more functional on mobile devices than before.
Give it a try and don't hesitate to drop us a feedback on whether you like it or not.
Extended trading window
Kjetil Hårtveit - Founder We have extended the trading window during the Tour Championship because we launched (in Early Access) so close to tournament start.
As this is an experimental and early phase, we consider keeping it open through-out the tournament so everyone can try the game and create a team...
Upcoming features
Kjetil Hårtveit - Founder We have many ideas and features in store, among them are:
- Ranking list (compare yourself against other players - this will be prioritized)
- Calendar of upcoming events...
Fantasy Snooker is launched in Early Access!
Kjetil Hårtveit - Founder Fantasy Snooker is now available in Early Access. This means you can enjoy the game like you normally would, but we're emphasising that it's in early development and it's more subject to minor/major changes. Before the full release (or next stage) we might delete data in order to keep the development speed high in this early phase. We will, of course, try to keep the friction to a minimum and try to give you the best experience as possible. We appreciate all feedback (positive and negative) and reporting of bugs/problems so we can keep improving the game...
