This section lists world champions in [[Eight-ball pool (British variation)|British-style eight-ball]], which exists in a few slight-variant versions (usually referred to as ''blackball'' and ''{{not a typo|eightball}} pool'') with different [[Sport governing body|governing bodies]]. This version is played at the amateur and semi-professional levels in [[Commonwealth of Nations|Commonwealth]] countries and a few continental European nations. These tournaments are played on 7-foot [[Billiard table|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 {{cuegloss|8 ball}}.
=== WPA World Blackball Championship ===
The following is a list of '''WPA world blackball champions''', sanctioned by the [[World Pool-Billiard Association]] (WPA)<!--Leaving that there to clarify that they really use "WPA" not "WPBA", which is the Women's Professional Billiard Association.-->. The [[Eight-ball pool (British variation)#WPA blackball rules (2004–present)|blackball]] rules variant was first discussed by the WPA in a unification meeting in 2004, with rules ratified in 2005 in anticipation of blackball's first world championship in 2006.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.blackball.uk/2016/02/blackball-pool-unification.html |work=Blackball.uk |title=Blackball Pool Unification}}</ref>

=== PPPO World Eightball Championship ===
The following is a list of '''PPPO world eightball champions''', sanctioned by the [[Professional Pool Players Organisation]]. In 1985, the PPPO (also known as EUKPF) ran their first event under the [[Eight-ball pool (British variation)#EPA rules (1978–1998)|EPA rules]] of the English Pool Association, which pre-dated the standardized [[Eight-ball pool (British variation)#EPA/WEPF world rules (1998–2022)|WEPF world rules]] introduced in 1998. PPPO drew contestants from other [[Pool (cue sport)|pool]] disciplines and from [[snooker]] to popularize the game more broadly. From 1996, the tournament was annual, up to 2005, when the last of its events was held.

Revision as of 19:01, 9 June 2024
Professional world champions in eight-ball pool and its variations include:
American-style
This section lists world champions in the internationally standardized game ("American-style") of eight-ball, as played by professionals around the world. This is played on the 9-foot pool tables with colored, numbered balls.
WPA World Eight-ball Championship
The following is a list of WPA world eight-ball champions sanctioned by the World Pool-Billiard Association (WPA).
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.
WPA World Blackball Championship
The following is a list of WPA world blackball champions, sanctioned by the World Pool-Billiard Association (WPA). The blackball rules variant was first discussed by the WPA in a unification meeting in 2004, with rules ratified in 2005 in anticipation of blackball's first world championship in 2006.[7]
