Snooker's Biggest Quiz

ROUND TWENTY-SIX

I am playing a game of snooker, and the scores are level. My opponent has a clear path at the ball on, but he fails to hit it.

But the referee, quite correctly, does not call "Foul and a Miss", only "Foul" and awards me the relevant points.

Why no miss?

Only black left on table ?

ROUND TWENTY-SEVEN

...

[Mitsuko]

Did you ask this before on BDE? I'm sure I remember that coming up before.

[The Statman]

You are to many points behind already, so you require a snooker to win.

I did say the scores are level.......

[Mitsuko]

I noticed after, and edited

Mitsuko

ROUND TWENTY-SEVEN

Who won the very first frame of the very first World Snooker Championship?

[Robert602]

Tom Newman?

[The Statman]

I can't remember! I will have to look it up when I get home!

[Robert602]

Statman, you're slacking.

Mine was a total guess anyway. I'll have another one: Mel Inman

[The Statman]

Ah now that's a possibility as well.

I think you've got the point anyway, since they were the two players involved in the first match!!!!!!!

Hang on a moment!

[The Statman]

Congratulations robert602.

It was Melbourne Inman who beat Tom Newman 97–23 in the first frame.

ROUND TWENTY-EIGHT

And what was unusual about the table used for that match?

[Alex0paul]

It was 10ft by 5ft?

[Robert602]

Just trying out a new scoreboard. This one numbers all of the positions automatically so it's easier to move people around (borrowed Dave's idea from the high break list). Quote my post to see how it's done, it's fairly simple.

Pos. . . . . . . . . . . Points . . . . . . . Name

1. . . . . . . . . . . 6 . . . . . . . . Cessy143
2. . . . . . . . . . . 5 . . . . . . . . Mitsuko
