History

The event was created in 2017, as a part of the World Seniors Tour.[3][4] The first UK Senior championship took place in October 2017, and was won by Jimmy White.[5] The 2018 UK Seniors Championship took place at the Hull Venue, in Hull, England and was won by Ken Doherty who beat Igor Figueiredo in the final.

Events have a thirty-second shot clock enabled, and in-place of a deciding frame, there is a re-spotted black, to determine the victor.[7]
