Yes, I know that. Having been involved in this process with the international orienteering federation, does the sport meet all the criteria as yet? For example, depth and composition of country governing bodies? The idea of pool being an olympic sport over, say, karate, is mind boggling to be...

Isn't pool already recognised by the IOC and included in the world games? Darren Appleton is the current Gold Medal holder..

would have been cheaper to enter the event and then wander around looking cool with a players pass and entry o everything - even if beat..

An E8B player who popped over a few years ago for a littel holiday and hasn't found his way home yet (may have met and married someone there too)

Rumour contrl indicates that Potts was not allowed to enter this event due to poolitics (sic)

The masters got added I believe - certainly did last year. Edit - added link: http://www.azbilliards.com/tours_and_events/287-joy-cup-world-chinese-8-ball-masters/5991-joy-cup-world-chinese-8-ball-masters-2014/results/

A bit more recently than that, but yeah, wow, you claimed him as your own. Well done. Good to see the brits dominating yet another cue sport discipline final. ;) Maybe we just eat more carrots?

He's a bitr more used to the napped cloth and tight pockets due to his background in E8B

Does the ref have a really nice bottom or is it just me?

Does that make all marathon runners better runners than sustain bolt?

Not sure how much snooker you have played but in my experience (and from watching it on the tv too) long shots are rarely played more than once a frame. What usually happens at the beginning of a frame is a safety exchange until either one player makes a mistake or one of them feels that he can...

Difficult to argue. Whichever way round, it is obviously Matchroom's influence

Rubbish of course. All sports are equally hard to master. Running 100m is easy. Does that make getting to number one in the world at the 100m easier than getting to number one in pool, snooker or golf?

Snooker is different not "harder" than pool (that debate has been done to death!) and is not the purpose of this thread really. More interesting that Matchroom/Snooker are even thinking about invting pool players. It can only be to get the interest of the US market surely?

Not sure he has beaten any of our players any time recently ;)

Love him to bits!:thumbup:

This has appeared on Earl's facebook feed today: "Just received a message from my buddy Kenn Fong that Steve Davis just said at the close of today's afternoon session of the Masters Snooker Final that there will be 16 wild card invitation to the World Championships and said they might be...

About sums it up. We can now close the thread. Problem solved. More likely, come back in a week and it will be a ten pager.. I love the Race Horse vs Mule analogy - perfect!
