International Billiards & Snooker Federation (IBSF) aanounced on 28 September 2011 its decision to shift the venue for IBSF World Men's Snooker Championship from Bahrain to Bangalore. IBSF World Men's Snooker Championship is scheduled to be held from 28 November to 3 December 2011.
Due to prolonged crisis in some parts of Middle East Asia, the IBSF decided to move the tournament out of Bahrain and grant the hosting rights to India.
The IBSF held a lot of discussions with the Chinese federation, trying to work out the schedule of the tournament but due to clash of dates with SEA Games, Arab Games and the proposed IBSF World 6-Red Snooker in India, the association finally had to amend the proposed 6-Red Snooker and decided to hold the event only in the men's category.
IBSF however assured that since the competition will not be held in Women and Masters categories this 2011, it will give an extra slot to these sections in the 2012 World Championships.
