    Snooker

    Sigh... Snooker v Pool round 3845 Snooker and pool are only similar in the potting, in all other respects they are different. If pool was all about breaking, potting and clearing - frame after frame - the snooker players would already be dominating. But it isn't is it?

    AZB's Top Money Earners 2015

    Who decides what makes it into the list? What is the point of the list? Can I submit my tournaments for inclusion? If so, what and how and what is the criteria?
