About Cuestars
Introduction
My name is John Hunter and I run Cuestars, which provides Weekend Junior Sections and for all ages, grass-root snooker tournaments across the South of England and South Wales. Cuestars now has more than 1,000 players registered and more than 20 clubs affiliated.
Weekend Junior Sections
Cuestars Weekend Junior Sections enable youngsters to play on full-sized snooker tables. Players are taught the basics, shown how to conduct themselves in a snooker club environment and are introduced to competition play.
A Coaching Programme is available, which offers all Cuestars players a structured approach to learning the game. There are ten levels to achieve, with the first level aimed at the beginner and the final level aimed at the proficient player.

Competitions
Competitions take place on Sundays between October and June, and cater for players aged eight to 80 - and in some cases even older!
All Cuestars tournaments, apart from the Team Challenge, are played off scratch. There are no handicaps. We use a round-robin format leading to a knockout.
The draw takes place at 10.30am prompt. All tables used for competition matches are free of charge.
The dress code for under-21 competitions is smart trousers, shoes and a collared or polo shirt. There is no dress code for Championship Tour events.
