🎱 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.
