One of our favourite events of the year returns: it's the Last Woman Standing!

32 player draw: 2 players begin, winner stays on: who will be the Last Woman Standing?

Full rules:


6th - 7th December 2025 - Last Woman Standing 2025

🎱 ULTIMATE POOL – LAST WOMAN STANDING IS BACK! 🎱

After the excitement of last year, Last Woman Standing returns with more twists, more drama and even more entertainment.
Top-level women’s 8-ball mixed with a gameshow-style format… it’s going to be a brilliant weekend.

HOW IT WORKS
THE PLAYERS

32 players enter

2 are drawn at random to start

Loser is eliminated

Winner stays on and either draws or calls out their next opponent

This continues until we crown The Last Woman Standing

THE ASSASSINS

For 2025, the 4 carefully selected Assassins are:

Amy Beauchamp

Kirsty-Lee Davies

Megan Proctor

Danielle Randle

Each Assassin carries a £200 cash bounty.

Beat an Assassin and you get the chance to acquire the bounty and join the Assassin’s.

If two Assassins meet, the winner can either:

Take the bounty, or

Assign Assassin status to any player

If an Assassin wins the event, they take both the winner’s prize AND all remaining bounties available.

If an Assassin is beaten, the victor spins the Wheel:

💰 Instant Cash

🎯 Become the new Bounty (and join the Assassin’s)

❤️ Assassin survives with an Extra Life

⚠️ FINAL TWIST – EXTRA LIFE
If an Assassin is beaten in the final and the event’s single Extra Life has not yet been used:

➡️ The Assassin returns for one last battle.

The Last Woman Standing is only crowned once no lives remain.
There is only one Extra Life in the entire event — once it is used at any stage, it is gone for good.

WINNING MATCHES

After each win, a player:

Can choose their next opponent, OR

Take the random draw

If a player wins 2 in a row:

They must take the random draw, OR

Call out an Assassin

🔥 HOT SEAT RULES
How to Enter the Hot Seat

A player enters the Hot Seat ONLY by:

Winning 3 matches in a row,
OR

Being placed into it by the Joker Card (before the Final 5)

⚠️ Caveat – The Joker Reset Rule Applies:
If you pick the Joker Card holder and the Joker is revealed:

Your win streak resets to ZERO

You start again

You now need 3 wins in a row to reach the Hot Seat

You do NOT enter the Hot Seat

You do NOT gain exemption

The Joker completely halts your momentum, no matter how many matches you've won.

What the Hot Seat Means

When you are in the Hot Seat:

You are immune — you cannot be selected or drawn

You stay there until another player wins 3 in a row and replaces you

💷 Hot Seat Prize Money

A maximum of £400 extra is available:

£300 allocated to Hot Seat entries

£100 paid each time a player enters the Hot Seat (max 3)

£100 awarded if the Joker Card is used (Joker jump into Hot Seat)

Once the full £400 is claimed:

No further Hot Seat payments are made

The Hot Seat still gives immunity, but no more cash is available

Joker Card Impact

If the Joker Card is used:

The Joker Card holder instantly takes the Hot Seat

They win £100

They choose another player to take their place in the match

THE JOKER CARD

Sponsored by Jimmy “The Joker” Croxton Coaching 🎭

One player will be secretly selected before play starts.
They will be carefully chosen by the Tournament Directors — so be careful who you pick… you never know who’s holding it.

Only the Tournament Team and the chosen player will know.

The Joker Card can be used once if:

The player is called out, or

They are drawn by the generator

When used:

Player is exempt from the match

They move into the Hot Seat

They win £100

They choose someone else to play the match instead

FINAL 5 RULE

When only 5 players remain:

The Joker Card (if unused) is removed

The ability to enter the Hot Seat is removed

No more immunity

No more Hot Seat jumps

Pure Last Woman Standing to the finish

Last year delivered some incredible moments… and with these additions, this year promises even more drama.

📺 Action starts Saturday 6th December 2025 morning – live on Ultimate Pool TV.
