I believe that was always the case, wasn’t it?
In recent times at least its only been for 147/155, it’s posisble it was different in the 80’s, but no-one tested it
If I were in charge, any pair of balls in a free ball situation followed by an all-black clearance would be good enough. And a 17-black 155 would pay triple.:thumbup:I believe that was always the case, wasn’t it?

Thanx.....one that’ll play for my non-FB joining ass.
Ronnie just missed a hanger and letvJudd back in...
What a recovery shot on the yellow!
Yes, I was looking for a good safety, and pow ... in goes the yellow.
Ronnie's first century of the match, a 134. 7-6
Ronnie left a fairly long shot on a safety and Judd responded with a 54 but had no shot on a red and played safe. After a few safeties, Ronnie fouled on a red to take it to 58 for Judd. After a couple more safeties, Judd made a long, sharp cut on a red. 59. Ronnie left another long red for Judd; he potted it and finished off the frame. 7-7.
Race to 2.

And Trump also played faster on average in the Finals than did O'Sullivan -- 22.1 sec. average shot time to 23.7 sec.
Note the constantly upward progression of Ronnie's ASTs in his 7 matches:
Versus the alternating higher and lower pattern for Judd:

He really did.
It should be evident to any fan of Ronnie's that he is at a disadvantage in longer races. This seems to be one of the few areas where age has caught up to him, and one of the main reasons he's unlikely to ever win another World Championship.
Of course, this is one of those times I would love to be wrong.

I recall watching a snooker tournament on the BBC way back (possibly the 80s but feels more like the 90s) and the question was asked. The official answer, as reported by the BBC team was that any break 147+ was considered a maximum for prize money purposes. My guess is nobody had thought of this and the powers that be had to think on their feet. Have never heard of any clarification on this since but 147 or 155 certainly makes sense.
Anyone wishing to follow the quest of Sir Ronnie, here is some good info.

At the bottom right, look for 100's.

Looks like last season (2017-18) was his highest ever in centuries and money! Not bad for an old guy.
And note that the count of 971 centuries they show apparently excludes any centuries that were made in 158 matches for which they do not have "frame scores" (click on "About this stat" under "Breaks").
So, if I am reading that correctly, it is highly likely that Ronnie passed the 1,000-century mark long ago!
[And, why does that "About this stat" message say 1,272 total matches, whereas the "Matches & Frames" section of the page says 1,238?]
