British-style

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. These tournaments are played on 7-foot pool tables with colored balls—typically red and yellow—instead of the solid and striped balls of American-style pool, though both game types feature a black 8 ball.
