[7] This section lists world champions in British-style eight-ball, which exists in a few slight-variant versions (usually referred to as blackball and eightball pool) with different governing bodies.
This version is played at the amateur and semi-professional levels in Commonwealth countries and a few continental European nations.
The following is a list of IPA world blackball champions, sanctioned by the International Professional Pool Association.
The following is a list of PPPO world eightball champions, sanctioned by the Professional Pool Players Organisation.
The final championship was held in 2005, and the PPPO eventually disbanded as pool players moved on to WPA (2006) and IPA blackball.
