In 2014 the winner of the B-Level Advanced knock-out was also a finalist in a multi-life Level Advanced knock-out, and in 2015 the engraving area of the Singles Championship trophy was expanded with the addition of an extra plinth.

*

With the exception of 2020 and 2021, since 2007 the winner of the All England Handicap knock-out has also been the fourth semi-finalist in a multi-life Handicap knock-out.

‡

From 2019 the One-Ball tournament was run as a charity event as part of the national Charity One-Ball competition.

In 2020 and 2021 because of the Covid-19 pandemic there were too few games played in some tournaments for a winner to be identified.

Most wins (Singles Championship):
