Dechawat Poomjaeng no Longer on World Tour

WPBSA wrote:Dechawat Poomjaeng’s WPBSA membership has lapsed therefore he is no longer a professional player on the World Snooker Tour and has been removed from the world rankings.

Dechawat last competed on the circuit at the 2023 Cazoo World Snooker Championship, reaching the second qualifying round in Sheffield. He has confirmed that he will not return to the Tour during his existing two-year tour card for personal reasons and we wish him all the best for the future

Do you have to compete in a certain number of events?

A requirement of being on the WST is to be a WPBSA member? Paying an annual membership fee?

There might be something in the accounts and other official stuff. Someone else is no doubt better qualified than me to trawl through these documents.

24.1 A Member shall automatically cease to be a Member if:
24.1.1 he dies;
24.1.2 he fails to pay any joining or subscription fee where applicable;
24.1.3 he is expelled pursuant to Articles 24.2 and 24.3;
24.1.4 he is expelled as a result of disciplinary proceedings brought, amongst other
ways, pursuant to these Articles and the Rules and Regulations as amended from
time to time;
24.1.5 he retires or resigns as a Member immediately on giving written notice addressed
to the company secretary at the registered office of the WPBSA from time to time;
and/or
24.1.6 he ceases to be a Director and is not at the relevant date a Member of the
WPBSA by virtue of any other provision of the Articles.

I remember when his hair miraculously grew back. Proper hair too, not that fake stuff Jimmy sports.

Yeah, that was after he died as well. Incredible post-death performance.

Surprised he didn't win the WC
