I very much doubt if I phoned up Da' Bookie and asked for a refund on everytime I placed a bet on these players and the bet lost they'd give me a refund :

A date of 24th April 2023 has been set for the start of the proceedings. "

Where are all the young British players? Snooker's leading names unanimous concerned about the grassroots as debate over the sport's future continues

The debate surrounding snooker’s future has taken a back seat during a headline-grabbing World Championship but it will no doubt resurface as soon as the next Crucible king is crowned.

ALAN MCMANUS BREAKS DOWN WHY SHAUN MURPHY'S CALL FOR SNOOKERS TO BE OUTLAWED IS A BAD IDEA​

Snooker has not changed much down the years, although the Shoot Out was added to the calendar to offer a rapid-fire element to the game. There have been other suggestions to bring about change, with Judd Trump calling for a relaxed dress code. Shaun Murphy said this week that stopping playing for snookers could work, but Eurosport's Alan McManus disagrees. :​

Historic Frame: 6 snookers required | John Spencer vs Jimmy White | 1987 British Open QF :​


Elliot Slessor needs 7 snookers against Zhang Anda | 2019 Welsh Open - Last 32 :​


Snooker is called snooker for a reason so under those bright lights down the club running up the table time bill of course you quit and set the balls up again for another frame but for the pro's if the balls are set for snookers of course they are going to play on , it's their means of living and paying bills . I enjoy the safety play and a bit of cat and mouse , it adds to the drama . ;):D(y)

But I think it would help to require cushion contact on any shot that does not pot a ball, as in the shootout. A more extreme version is to require cushion contact after ball contact, as in pool.

wouldn't that possibly prolong some safety escapes that already requires a lot of force (4-5 rails first)? if the penalty isn't ball in hand, of course

Contacting a cushion almost eliminates the shot-to-nothing. (no more role up to a baulk color after making a great long pot) So it becomes a negative to make the ball. So not that simple as it changes a lot of the rest of the game as well!
