Career

Jogia reached the last 32 of four ranking events, the first two being the 2004 Grand Prix and British Open. [4] He won the English Open title in 1998. [4] His highest break in a ranking event is 137, in qualifying rounds of the 2009 Grand Prix, [5] although he has also made a 147 maximum in pro-am play. [6]

He dropped off the pro Main Tour after the 2006–07 season. In 2008–09 he topped the pro-am International Open Series to regain a place on the Main Tour, although this was a wildcard place as he was not a member of his national governing body at that time. [7]

He qualified for the last 32 of a ranking event for the first time in 6 years at the 2010 World Open, where he played Liu Song and lost 3–1.

Jogia made it to the main stage of the UK Championship for the first time in 2011 by beating Jamie Cope 6–3 in the final round of qualifying. He was drawn against world number 2, Mark Williams, and won two successive frames to tie the match at 4–4. Unfortunately, Jogia had a bad " kick " while well placed to win the next frame and would lose the match 6–4. [8] Jogia had a good season in the minor-ranking Players Tour Championship series as he played in all 12 of the events, reaching the semi-finals in the first event, where he lost 2–4 to Ronnie O'Sullivan. [9] He also had two last 16 finishes to be placed 28th on the PTC Order of Merit, just out of the top 24 who qualified for the PTC Finals. [10] Jogia only won one more match in qualifying after his UK Championship exploits and finished the season ranked world number 47. [11] [12]

On 30 May 2012, it was announced by World Snooker that Jogia had been suspended from playing on the tour because of unusual betting patterns on his match against Matthew Selt in the Snooker Shoot-Out, which was due to take place on 28 January 2012. [13] A high number of bets were placed on Jogia to lose the match, which he claimed was because of an injury to his knee and the assumption that he would be unable to play to an adequate standard. Jogia withdrew from the event the day before it started, but faced a formal hearing of the World Snooker Disciplinary Committee in July. At the hearing it was revealed that Jogia had been in repeated communication with two people who placed 19 bets on the match and that 11 of these bets had been placed before he sought medical attention regarding his knee injury. Jogia was banned from snooker until after the 2014 World Championship and fined £2,000 as a contribution to the cost of the investigation. [14]

On 7 January 2013, Jogia was removed from the snooker world rankings following ET 2012/13 – Event 6, [15] [16] after his WPBSA membership was terminated. [17]

Snooker world rankings 2012/2013: The professional world rankings for all the professional snooker players who qualified for the 2012–13 season are listed below. The rankings worked as a two-year rolling list. The points for each tournament two years ago were removed, when the corresponding tournament during the current season has finished. The following table contains the rankings, which were used to determine the seedings for certain tournaments.

The official 2012/2013 snooker world ranking points for the professional snooker players on the World Snooker Main Tour in the 2012–13 season were based on performances in ranking tournaments over a two-year rolling period. The total points from the 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 seasons set the rankings at the start of 2012/2013 season and were updated after every ranking tournament. As points were accrued from tournaments in the current season, the points from the corresponding tournaments from two seasons ago were dropped. The rankings set the official seedings at the start of the season and at four further points during the season. The total points accumulated by the cut-off dates for the revised seedings were based on all the points up to that date in the 2012/2013 season, all of the points from the 2011/2012 season, and the points from the 2010/2011 season that had not yet been dropped. The total points from the 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 seasons set the rankings at the start of the 2013/2014 season.
