I assume we're talking about these, which were just announced for the Mosconi Cup:Yep, the 4 ball is the "new" pink color. The 5 ball is no longer orange, it's purple, just like the "old" 4 ball that needed, apparently, to be changed to pink because purple was hard to see on TV. Makes sense, right?

So the match score was 2-2 what was the doubles set score at when they had problems?
The Bergman/Thorpe vs. Boyes/Dominguez match was over, with Boyes/Dominguez winning 5-3. That was match #4, taking the match score to 2-2. They then took an intermission, planned to be about 30 minutes. Over an hour and a half later, they announced the resumption was postponed, because of technical problems, until Thursday at 11 am local time.
UGH.......Who thinks this stuff up?

is orange a primary color?Some British higher-ups hate the color orange. This has lead to the banning of orange In certain British companies from equipment to uniforms.
I’m assuming Matchroom is following suit with this design that they requested. According to the commentary in the first match, Ms. Frazier mentioned that the change was final and the players would have to step into modern times and adjust.
The Society of United Irishmen was formed by liberal Presbyterians and Anglicans in Belfast in 1791. It sought reform of the Irish Parliament, Catholic Emancipation and the repeal of the Penal Laws. By the time the Orange Order was formed, the United Irishmen had become a revolutionary group advocating an independent Irish republic that would "Unite Catholic, Protestant and Dissenter".

I always assumed this was why there is no orange ball in snooker.
With orange being a primary color, there is no physical/logical reason to eliminate it from the game of pool.

is orange a primary color?
red + yellow?
My next set will probably be Centennials.
This 4/5 BS is beyond stupid.
As for the 9 ball, that's been around for a long time. I can't remember who made the ball but Bert had a 9 like this in the videos he made decades ago.

You really think is the reason?? Sounds a tad far-fetched to me. Do you think the Brit soldiers stationed in India that invented snooker gave a rat's ass about the Orange Order? Its possible i guess but i kinda doubt it.Some British higher-ups hate the color orange. This has lead to the banning of orange In certain British companies from equipment to uniforms.
