It is understood she returned home early from last July’s Australian Goldfields Open in Bendigo. The precise details of the fall-out have not been disclosed but Tabb has not refereed since.

Tabb has been refereeing in Snooker Legends events and is free to continue in this role and in exhibitions.

Clearly, given her silence on the subject, her reasons for the decision are not yet something that she wishes to discuss in the public domain and I respect her far too much to get involved in the speculation that will no doubt ensue following the announcement.

DIFFICULT SEASON FOR THE REFEREES

The issues that have ultimately led to Tabb’s departure, namely a row over an unpaid ‘discretionary’ bonus last year that turned nasty, meant the two-time Crucible final referee Scot has not been used since.

It has been impossible to prevent speculation and conjecture about Tabb’s situation with one of the best, most popular and most recognisable officials suddenly absent with no proper explanation.

But having flown home from the Australian Open mid-tournament as matters came to a head – and who knows what more there may be to come out, or what may be said by both sides on availability and use – Tabb has since refereed only exhibitions such as the Snooker Legends.

It is a great shame that a dispute over what it is understood in the first instance to be a relatively small amount of money has led directly or indirectly to Tabb being lost to the game.
