The 2008 Paul Hunter Classic was a pro–am snooker tournament held in August 2008. Barry Pinches was the reigning champion, but he was eliminated in the last 32 by Shaun Murphy.[1] Murphy went on to win the tournament, defeating Mark Selby 4–0 in the final.[2]

Tournament structure

[edit]

The initial stage began with 40 groups of 4 players. The winners of each group advanced to the last 32 stage of the tournament, and the tournament runners-up moved to the last 64. Shaun Murphy was the only professional not to top his group, and thus had to play two matches more than the other professional players.[3]
