The 1992 Strachan Open was a professional ranking snooker tournament, that was held from 2–7 March 1992 at the Thorbury Leisure Centre, Bristol, England. This tournament was a one-off ranking event sponsored by the well known billiard table cloth company. It carried a slightly lower points tariff and a considerably lower prize fund than the main ranking events and as such was boycotted by several of the top players.[1] James Wattana won the tournament by defeating John Parrott nine frames to five in the final.[2] Peter Ebdon made a maximum break in qualifying against Wayne Martin.[3] __TOC__
