Hi Alan,

From the article, it sounds like only snooker made a presentation to the organizers of the Commonwealth Games and it would have been better to include a wider variety of cue sports. Is that correct?

That is how it sounded to me as well. But I wonder how widely played the other cue games are throughout the commonwealth.

Hi Bob,

Good to hear from you.

I'm not quite sure about that I'm afraid, but if I can find out I will let you know here.

You may well be correct though, as if you are the decision doesn't surprise me in the least, as they will most likely take their lead from the IOC who have only ever entertained a complete cue-sports presentation of snooker/English billiards, pool and carom.

Best wishes.

Alan.
