Kurt Maflin from Norway and Wendy Jans from Belgium came out on top at the IBSF World Snooker Championships. Maflin beat Daniel Ward (England) 11-8 in the men's final while Jans whitewashed Wan-Ip In (Hong Kong) 5-0. Both winners were undefeated throughout the tournament.
A Main Tour spot was on offer to the winner of the men's event. That means Maflin will compete against the top pros in the 2007/2008 season. This will be his second stint on the world's major snooker tour.
Keith E Boon (Singapore) had the highest break of the tournament with a magnificent 147.
Pakistan's Mohammad Yousuf won the title in the Masters (Over 40s) division. He beat Glen Wilkinson from Australia 5-4 in the final.
The event was held 5-15 November in the Regency Palace, Amman, Jordan.
