When i saw the thread title i was picturing some NFL player scratchin' his package.;)

Reactions: bbb
I watched all of the matches and Dick didn't play very well in the first stages. But he managed to eek out wins nonetheless. Congrats to him. There was some really stellar play from a lot of different players. Nice to see team play and doubles too.

Snooker requires at least 38 strokes per game.
Snooker is vastly more popular than 9-ball and 10-ball {TV showings, purses, ...}

Thus, you can blame pool's lack of TV presence on the fact that the games pool puts up for viewing require fewer than 39 strokes per game/frame.

Player A breaks off. Player B plays 15 reds with 15 colors and clears up the 6 colors. That takes 37 strokes.

Or... Player A smashes into the reds, pocketing all of them on the break-off, followed by black, yellow and green for 27 points. Player B forfeits as he now needs snookers. 4 strokes. (Alternatively, 10 reds with 10 blacks gets you to normal forfeit territory.)

I’m sure the title was just the first thing that arose in your head

Reminds me of this “country” joke from Shakespeare

HAMLET: Lady, shall I lie in your lap?
OPHELIA: No, my lord.
HAMLET: I mean, my head upon your lap?
OPHELIA: Ay, my lord.
HAMLET: Do you think I meant country matters?
OPHELIA: I think nothing, my lord.
HAMLET: That’s a fair thought to lie between maids’ legs.
OPHELIA: What is, my lord?
HAMLET: Nothing.

Nobody in snooker ever tries to make a red on the snap.

Have video evidence that this ever transpired ?

Also note if you make a red and pocked a color your inning is done. Making the above even less plusible.

The real question is what happens in practice at real snooker tournaments ?
