Pot Black Cup Final
Shaun Murphy 36(24)-71(29) Ken Doherty

Just saw it was a ranking event. The only one I can see is Joe Perry v Jimmy Michie but the high break was 41.

Pot Black Cup Final

Nice try ... but that isn't a ranking event.

ROUND TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE

This is an easy one and I don't think it's been put on this thread before – but I have seen it somewhere.

A frame is in progress and the scores are level. Player A comes to the table, and plays a shot in which the cue-ball fails to hit the ball on. He had not been snookered and, in fact, he could see the ball on with no other ball even close to getting in the way. However, the referee did not call a Miss.

Why not?

[hegeland]

Oh yes, it was me who asked question 217! Why can't someone discretly remind me when I'm struck with amnesia?

A clue: it was during the 2005/06 season.

[hegeland]

225: The cue ball went in-off or flew off the table?

[Mal]

Could be a few reasons.

If the opponent needed snookers, the referee will not call a miss or vice versa.
If only the black was left on the table and the player missed it, the ref will not call a miss as it is the loss of the frame.

[The Statman]

I did say the scores were level.

If only the black was left on the table and the player missed it, the ref will not call a miss as it is the loss of the frame.

But that is the correct answer! Congratulations Mal.

So here is the scoreboard after round 225, but with round 217 still open:

ROUND TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SIX

Anyone?

He had not been snookered and, in fact, he could see the ball on with no other ball even close to getting in the way. However, the referee did not call a Miss.

Why not?

the ball (red) was actually hit, but by another red (not the cue-ball) and maybe even potted...

Why not?

Was just black left on the table?

[PaulTheSoave]

Obvious this one. he missed the attempted red, but hit another one.

ps. took ages to give me that point btw, .

For the Stats, was my 3000th post.

I said failed to hit the ball on.

Anyway that round is closed and the scoreboard already updated! Why is everyone still guessing?

[PaulTheSoave]

Is that round resolved, longest duration on one ball, in a frame?

[The Statman]

Is that round resolved, longest duration on one ball, in a frame?

Yes it's still open – hegeland provided a clue at the bvottom of the last page.
