Snooker's Biggest Quiz

Its the final black!

Haha! Nice one. Always hilarious to watch that!


Mind you, "it would not even qualify as a free ball if his opponent had just fouled" - presumably if his opponent had just fouled he wouldn't be having a shot at the final black!

Its the final black!

[davis_greatest]

It was the 3rd attempt, and the referee simply awards the frame to his opponent?

ROUND ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY

An easy one.

A player comes to the table with the points level. He is not snookered, in fact he can see a ball which he is allowed to hit with no impairment at all – it would not even qualify as a free ball if his opponent had just fouled.

He gets down, aiming to hit the ball thinly but misjudges the shot and fails to hit it at all.

The referee correctly calls a foul, but does not call a Miss.

Why not?

Fu
Hendry
Murphy
O'Sullivan
Selby
Stevens

[rambon]

So where's my extra point then..... 2.5 + 1 = 3.5 ??? All that lack of daylight in the Crucible must have done your head in... :-)

...have each had a single person as to century-maker ....

Just to clarify, you mean top century-maker - as in the person who made the greatest number of centuries? (Rather than the highest break.)

[The Statman]

Yep rambon, spot on.

ROUND ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-NINE

The last seven years' world championships (2001 to 2007 inclusive) have each had a single person as to century-maker at the Crucible (i.e. no joint positions). And all of them have been different players.

What I want you to do is list the seven players in alphabetical order (by surname).

[rambon]

Hi TS, if you mean with a century in the final frame I think that was Maguire against hamilton wasn't it?

[The Statman]

ROUND ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-EIGHT

A nice easy one!

Who was the only player to win a match with a century at the Crucible in 2007?

[snookersfun]

Yuchuuuuuu! It would have been only fair to share this point with the 'giver of neverending tips'
thanks ohmy!

[oymyakon]

Funny mastered the task superbly and gets a fully point! Congrats!!

round 158......anyone?

[snookersfun]

how about this now?
1. happened in Blackwood. Funny, you are not far away from the correct answer.... 1915
2. in the 1990s. (not England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Rep. of Ireland) 1993, Joe Swail compiled the first competitive maximum break to be made on the Continent, during a Belgian ranking tournament in Brussels in December 1993. He was playing R Melkenbeek, a local amateur

3. someone from NI (is that a lady too???? if so Karren Corr but did any make a 147?) Joe Swail
4. higher than 87 and achieved in february 07: Maria Catalano - 115


this is embarrassing...

[oymyakon]

third tip round:

(2.) ranking tournament in Brussels
(3.) As far as I know he isn't a lady

Funny, common....!!......
