SVB Get's Bad Rap Not Winning Worlds

By mentioning Hendry's name you have answered your own point. If Hendry had never won a world title and was simply "the best snooker player over really really long matches and/or for money" you would likely have never heard of him and never used him as an example.

World Champion is World Champion, be it whatever the distance, whatever the sport and whatever the strength of the field..

Agree. And a short race measures nerve more than a long set, in my opinion - and I prefer playing long sets.

You start making the races too long and you just have the player with the best endurance, not the best player.

That was in Jacksonville, FL probably run by Dragon. I don't think it was even sanctioned. CW calls all his tournaments world. Johnnyt

He does not call all his tournaments World Championships. But he promoted that one as such when almost no one else was even promoting 10 ball as an option. So it is a legitimate World Championship title. Why should someone donate many thousands of dollars to an organization for their sanctioning instead of paying that money back to the players?

Grady Mathews put on a World 14.1 championship many years ago. So has Charlie many times.

You seem to really be a big supporter of the WPA. You should probably send them a big donation to help them continue doing what they do. If not then don't knock others who choose not to.
