British-style

This section lists world champions in British-style eight-ball, which exists in a few slight-variant versions (usually referred to as blackball and {{not a typo|eightball}} pool) with different governing bodies. This version is played at the amateur and semi-professional levels in Commonwealth countries and a few continental European nations. These tournaments are played on 7-foot pool tables with colored balls—typically red and yellow—instead of the solid and striped balls of American-style pool, though both game types feature a black {{cuegloss|8 ball}}.

= WPA World Blackball Championship =

The following is a list of WPA world blackball champions, sanctioned by the World Pool Association (WPA). The blackball rules variant was first discussed by the WPA in a unification meeting in 2004, with rules ratified in 2005 in anticipation of blackball's first world championship in 2006.{{Cite web |url=http://www.blackball.uk/2016/02/blackball-pool-unification.html |work=Blackball.uk |title=Blackball Pool Unification}}[https://blackballinternational.org Blackball International], the governing body for blackball pool, was officially formed in August 2008 to unify and administer the sport globally.
