I sense PaulTheSoave is about to post an answer....

A reminder of the question again:

ROUND TWENTY-SEVE, what was unuusual about the table used for the very first World Championship match, between Inman and Newman?

[The Statman]

Nah. Don't like it. I'm still last

[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

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?

[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!

[Robert602]

Statman, you're slacking.

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

[The Statman]

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

[Robert602]

Tom Newman?

[The Statman]

ROUND TWENTY-SEVEN

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

[Cessy143]

Mitsuko

Cool new pic by the way !

[Mitsuko]

I noticed after, and edited

[The Statman]

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

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

[Mitsuko]

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