International Snooker Referee Certification Clinic is Sold Out!

Desislava Bozhilova, Head Referee, US Snooker Masters 2026

For the first time in the US, people will be trained and, if they pass the exam, certified as an International Snooker Referee!! Five Americans and one Canadian signed up for the course. The clinic will be held at OX Billiards from March 17th to 18th.

Hosting a referee course is something OX has been working toward for years. When the path forward stalled, we found another way — and when we learned that the incredible Desislava (WSC Referee) would be heading up officiating at the US Snooker Masters, we moved.

To build a stable foundation for snooker, we need an infrastructure, not only players and places to play. We need coaches, referees, TDs, and support staff. Selling out this course exemplifies our players' passion and OX's commitment to every opportunity to help the sport grow professionally. Congrats to OX and the people who signed up. We are grateful.
