Snooker's Biggest Quiz

[dantuck_7]

I can't believe nobody has even guessed at this one. I think I have stumped you all on this one.

To give you a clue, I'll put the players in the correct order -

First 2 withheld as it'll give it away, then -
Doug Mountjoy, Chris Small, No-one, Alan McManus, Billy Snaddon, John Higgins, Ian McCullough, Tony Drago, Steven Lee, Stephen Maguire, Neil Robertson, Stephen Hendry, Ryan Day, Mark Allen, Ryan Day again...

Someone should get it from that......

Mad question!! - Okay, an incorrect guess to kick things off - these are all players that have made the HB at the Crucible out of all the 1st round losers?!

Im not going on too much for this - Snaddon had a 137 and lost and Day has been knocked out a couple of times R1.

I also think its something about high break...

I also think its something about high break...

I suppose they are linked indirectly to the highest break, but not by anything they have done.
Try pairing the players up, and dig into when they played.....

[Odrl]

They all played on the other table when a maximum break was made at the Crucible.

Mountjoy and Small in 1992, McManus and Snaddon in 1997, Higgins and McCulloch in 2003, Drago and Lee in 2005, Robertson and Maguire in 2008, Hendry and Day also in 2008, Allen and Day in 2009.

Hendry made his maximum in 1995 in the one-table situation, hence the "nobody" part of the question. The first two are obviously missing, because Werbeniuk would have given it away.

That was a tough one. Couldn't have got it without the hints.

well done that man! I thought that was a good one. 100% correct. The mountjoy/small was a really difficult one to find, there is about 1/2 a second of a grainy image of Doug in the background after jimmys 147. I was worried the "nobody" one would give it away. Congrats though. Next question anyone, and can someone please update the scoreboard! Thanks

[dantuck_7]

V.Good question - I have text a 'few' people tonight - it'll keep them thinking ;-)

[missneworleans]

ok I'll ask the next one probably easy
Name the only player who made maximum in one frame match.

John Higgins - nations cup 2000 vs Dennis Taylor?

[missneworleans]

Yep. I knew that would be easy

[deant1982]

Yay! That pops my cherry!

(A quick reminder that there are no tied positions in the scoreboard, you go right to the top of your new total.)

ROUND THREE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-FOUR...
Anyone?

[The Statman]

ROUND THREE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-FOUR

Name the player who was runner-up in a ranking event on a Sunday evening at 10:30, and was in action in the first round of the very next ranking event, at 10:30 the following morning. He would go on to the quarter-finals of the second one.

[missneworleans]

Is that something recent?
are you sure he lost in the quarter-final?

[The Statman]

I'm pretty sure he lost in the quarter-final. The two events were at pretty much opposite ends of England, if that's any help.

[missneworleans]

And both tournaments were ranking??
