1990 Shoot-Out

The 1990 Shoot-Out was a professional non-ranking snooker tournament that took place from 26 to 28 September 1990 at Trentham Gardens in Stoke-on-Trent, England.

[1][2] Darren Morgan won the tournament, defeating Mike Hallett 2–1 in the best of three frames final.

[4][5] Jimmy White, the fourth seed, withdrew from the tournament at short notice, explaining that he had broken his cue.

[6] Bill Oliver was injured in a road traffic incident collision whilst driving to the venue on 27 September and withdrew from the tournament; Hallett, his passenger, was uninjured.

McManus, the other losing semi-finalist, had progressed after requiring his opponents in both the last-16 and quarter-final to concede penalty points when only the final pink and black were left on the table.
