World Women's Snooker (WWS) and Ox Billiards are hugely excited to announce significant new sponsorship agreements for next month's inaugural U.S. Women's Snooker Open with Microsoft and Littman Lights.

The historic tournament is set to be staged at Ox Billiards in Seattle from August 26-28, and is set to be the first ever WWS Tour ranking event held in the United States.

Microsoft is a multinational technology corporation and is one of the world's most famous and recognizable brands, which produces computer software, consumer electronics and personal computers. With its headquarters based in Redmond, Washington, which is just 15 miles east of Seattle, the company is ideally placed to support this major new event.

Littman Lights is a major supplier of specialist bespoke lighting for billiard tables based in Aloha, Oregon. With its products used by the top names in pool such as Shane Van Boening, Sky Woodward, Allison Fisher and Nick Varner, Littman Lights offer a wide range of lighting solutions for tables of all sizes.

Mandy Fisher, WWS President said: "This sponsorship represents a major milestone for World Women's Snooker ahead of the first staging of the U.S. Women's Snooker Open. To receive the backing of a company of the stature of Microsoft and Littman Lights is fantastic and I would like to thank both for their support."

Mike Dominguez of Ox Billiards said: "We are delighted to have both Microsoft and Littman Lights on board for the staging of this tournament. Both organizations are Pacific Northwest in origin and major supporters of inclusivity in sports and other parts of life. It is great to have their support to build women's snooker in America."

Players of all levels of ability and experience are encouraged to pick up a cue and participate in this historic billiard event taking place in the United States for the first time. To get involved, please visit the World Women's Snooker website for entry details:
