2023 World Snooker Championship / April 15th - May 1st

They use a rack and try and get as close to the pink ball spot then place the pink on the spot
Wow, I just caught a glimpse of their rack. It is slick. A square outer shape, a triangle inner shape, and it looked like it even had wheels on the bottom. Then it fit into a slide out drawer. ha ha.
 
Are there ever any racking controversies in snooker? Or it doesn't matter much since it's a safe break? Do the refs use a triangle rack, or hand place all the balls? (the camera doesn't show the racking, at least while I'm tuned in).
The pros have a rack where nothing much can go wrong….it even shows where to spot the pink ball…
…and the heavier cloth and no forceful breaks makes the balls hold their places easily.

Whew, I went away to avoid the spoiler. What a performance. Makes it hard to get excited for the upcoming semi final conclusion. I better take a nap first......probably be nodding out even with a nap 😴
