27+14 ? Rules

You're one friendly character Adibon....
WPBSA = official rules. If you want the rules changed you need to talk to them.
Amateur tournament directors (such as the US championship) may create by-laws for whatever they please.
Do you really want us to believe that the IOC has contacted you regarding making snooker an olympic sport and all they care about is when the frame is over? Nothing about the miss rule or anything, right?
Whatever.... The rules are great as they stand. You have a H3LL no vote from me.

If the Olympic committee wanted to introduce snooker there'd be no hassle over the rules, surely they'd simply play by the official rules or make up some other and call the game something else.
I'd imagine if it were included it would be a farce. Many a top player would not be interested, they are professionals earning their living from the game so the time and expense to enter a competition offering the grand prize of a coloured alloy disc and a ribbon totally pointless. Undoubtedly you'd see some enter but not many, kinda like when they had tennis included.
Amatures too have their own world championship with the standard of play obviously being far lower again i'd expect few amatures would bother entering when faced with playing pros almost certain of winning.
So who would walk away with a gold? A 23 stone beer guzzling old fart like me having got to the final by luck and faced with John Higgins who'd take a dive no doubt.

You only got two teeth . Is it too hard to wash them before talking billiards ?
