The Commonwealth Classic is a multi-game billiards event that features competition in the classic or up-and-coming games in clubs from around the world. Each round of play will see competitors face-off in 40 minutes of play over two different games—one on a 9 foot American table, and one on a 12 foot snooker table.

All games are scored by points or balls potted/sunk, rather than games won. (Ten ball will be converted to APA-style scoring). The sum of players' scores over both games in a round will determine the winner of the match.
All matches will be directly refereed by an approved official. The tournament will accept a maximum of 24 players and follows a single elimination format, with a round-robin final between the three remaining players.
Games for the 2021 Commonwealth Classic are:
—Round one: Straight pool, Snooker (4pm to 8pm)
—Round two: Russian pyramid, One pocket (8pm to 10pm)
—Round three: Snooker, Ten ball (10pm to 11pm)
—Round Four: All games (11pm to 12am)
Match times will be scheduled upon the tournament draw at 3:55pm and times will be strictly adhered to. (You'll know EXACTLY when you play.) The venue will be open from 12:00 for free play and to clarify rules of games as necessary.
