This is from post 2639. Sorry, I couldn't see what you had changed, or why, or which scoreboard you had updated.

So, for now, I will use the scoreboard in post 2630 for the next scoreboard update...

[The Statman]

OK!

ROUND 206

I turn on the TV and see Ronnie O'Sullivan at the table again. This time it looks like he could be on for a maximum - on a break of 120, six colours left. He hits the yellow hard, it rattles in the jaws, then rolls along the cushion into the opposite corner pocket and drops in.

"122," announces the referee, and I realise that Ronnie's not going to make the maximum after all. How do I know?

(Note: while there may be more than one plausible answer, the point will be awarded only for the one I have in mind.)

Because the green was in a position alongside another ball that was on the edge of a pocket?

[PaulTheSoave]

I think wrong answer on round 206

somebody stop him..... now!

[snookersfun]

gah!!! Objection! Somebody () messed with the scoreboard! Next person better add my 10 missing points in

[Lindea]

The yellow is put back on it's spot?
He has once again had a free ball with all 15 reds on the table and have hit 120 potting the last red and the yellow then being the colour to pot after the red.

[Semih_Sayginer]

(Note: while there may be more than one plausible answer, the point will be awarded only for the one I have in mind.)

the reason why he hit the yellow hard is that he was "attacking" a tied up green. he missed the "kick" on the green but still managed the pot on the yellow, so now the green cant be hit (or potted) without fouling during the shot.

?

[Monique]

He lost position, "snookered" himself and can't possibly pot the green?

[Cyril]

OK!

Because it was a recording and you'd seen it before? Or... had he taken a free ball first?

[JPK123]

[Semih_Sayginer]

bl**dy hell JPK, youre quick. well done!!

[davis_greatest]

... and congratulations, JPK123! Yes, on for a potential "16-red" clearance (must have taken 9 blacks and a pink so far, together with one free ball counting as a red and 10 real reds)...

So here is the scoreboard after round 205
