3 days to go!

I have the original video for sale. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350186171920 On the VHS: Introduction to the challenge: Straight pool, Snooker and 9 ball. Pre-match interviews. Introduction to straight pool (14.1) with Steve Mizerak demonstrating how points are...

What was your/the highest break of the match?

Strangely enough, I was in the club where both Graeme Dott and John Higgins practise before the 2006 World Championships. Higgins was on his own match table next to the one I was on, and Graeme was at the other end of the club practising alone. A couple of hours in a TV crew shows up to see...

I hate to use the phrase, but it couldn't be more appropriate: "Don't hate the playa, hate the game." It seems obvious to me that the problem is the game itself. The 9-ball rack is flawed, whether it's rack-your-own, racking for the other guy or an independent racker - the rack is the problem...

Names, Quinten! That last post wasn't controversial enough! It could surely be done, but with the betting agencies in contact with World Snooker it would always be a risk. In the match with Jimmy White, Peter Francisco missed a couple of easy shots by ridiculous margins. Ideally you would...

I'm not too sure about the recent case, we'll have to wait and see the result of the investigation. I think the only time anyone has been found guilty of match-fixing was Peter Francisco, a South African player in the 1995 World Championships. There was an inordinate amount of money placed on a...

The top 8 players on the PIOS join the 96 man professional tour, so the top amateurs are competing but they are still amateurs nontheless. All of the players on that tour make centuries very regularly, but even good club players will run hundreds every now and again when the balls are there...

Well with the exception of a couple of Pro-Ams featuring lower ranked players, those videos all show amateur competitions!

All of the players are capable of making centuries at any given time, from 6-0 Rory actually made 3 centuries in a row to go 6-3. Selby made 3, I think, and both he and Rory McLeod lost their matches. O'Sullivan lost 9-5 to Joe Perry last night, despite making breaks of 127, 114, 143 and 95...
