The answer — raising money for veterans struggling with mental health while doing so.
The New Zealand VC Heroes tournament was held on Saturday at the Gore RSA, with 24 snooker players going head-to-head.
It was a full-on day, with frames of snooker played throughout the day, with a quick break for lunch inbetween.
Money raised in the tournament will be donated to help mental health in military personnel, to the tune of over $1100.
Gore RSA snooker section chairman Evan Fricker said after the day’s success, they will be looking to keep them going.
"We’ll be doing it next year, for sure," he said.
The top division was won by local player Kevin Wright, with Dunedin-based player Ali Kapo in second and Mr Fricker coming in third.
Division two was won by Invercargill-based player Brian Frye.
Mr Fricker said it was a hell of a day, and it was good to see some money raised for veterans.
"We raised $1150, with 24 players. We’re pretty happy with that," he said.
