The FNCSA offers a wide variety of tournaments and competitions. Their annual Champion of Champions event, held at Club Banora on March 13th, invites top-performing players to compete against each other for the title. The event follows a round-robin format, with six players playing single frame matches against each other. The top four players advance to the knockout stage, culminating in a final match to determine the champion.

In addition to the Champion of Champions event, the FNCSA hosts grade championships for A, B, and C grades. These tournaments feature a straight knockout format, and participants compete in best-of-five frames matches to determine the winners.

The FNCSA enforces a dress code for all of its events. Players are expected to wear a collared shirt (either long or short-sleeved), trousers (no jeans, dress shorts, or casual shorts), and dress shoes (no runners, thongs, or sandals). This dress code has been implemented by the association's committee to maintain a professional and respectful atmosphere during matches.

Membership and participation in the FNCSA is open to snooker enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels. Whether you're a seasoned player or just starting out, the association provides an opportunity to engage in friendly competition and develop your snooker skills in a supportive community.
