Hi everyone

Feel free to take a look at what we've got going on....

[Robert602]

www.worldsnooker.com - Official site of the WSA. Has a copy of the rules as well as anything you could wish to know about the current professional game.
www.globalsnookercentre.com - A myriad of information about ongoing tournaments both amateur and professional, as well as history, rules, and a lot of other stuff.
www.fcsnooker.co.uk - One of the best coaching sites I've come across, and it has a shop too.
www.snooker.org - Brilliant archive of pro tournament results from 1994-present. Also has player profiles, ranking histories, and prediction contests on all tournaments.
www.snookersceneonline.com - An incomplete but further reaching results archive. Articles and match reports from the magazine, and an online shop.
www.worldofsnooker.com - Recent results and rankings, but the highlight is probably the statistics and world record section.
www.ibsf.org - The official IBSF homepage, overseers of the amateur game.

That's about all I can think of for the moment.

cheers MB, how would you strapline your site for the content? I looked once and it seemed a brilliant snooker skills service station!

[Robert602]

They do quizzes too, I won myself a pretty decent t-shirt off there once. Not bad for a lifetime membership fee of about £5.

Yeah, why not! It's difficult to encompass everything we're doing but something like interactive snooker tutorials site?

Maxbreak quiz

Well done Robert! We hope to get the quiz up and running again soon. The main problem we faced last time out was that people tried to cheat the system so we're trying to develop a setup that has a non-interferable timer so that it's a fair quiz for all participants.

[RaNeN]

This looks great. The sites I knew have already been put up by Robert. I am beginning to like all this you are doing Dave!
