Does it count that Alex has won the Canadian Snooker Championship more than once? There are many very good snooker players who have come out of Cananda, including a couple of World Champions.
US Open 9-ball updates thread..
- Thread starter gxman
- Start date
Allison had multiple world Snooker titles to her credit her first was when she was 17 , before she quit to play pool , Karen Corr , Kelly Fisher also multiple world Snooker titles before going to Pool
This was because woman's Snooker pays no where what the men get paid , and Woman's Pool paid more because they had a Tour with a TV contract

No it doesn't count , that's a Pro/Am event by comparison, he's tried more than once to just qualify for a ranking event and hasn't, When I lived in Canada Snooker was the game I never even saw a regular pool table there when I was there late 60's early 70s

No, its a non ranking event.Does it count in Canada?
The Canadian Amateur Championship (occasionally known as the Canadian Open Snooker Championship) is an annual snooker competition played in Canada and is the highest ranking amateur event in the country.
So a crappy professional snooker player can win professional pool tournaments.
But world champion pool players can’t even qualify for any kind of snooker event.
If a crappy pro snooker player does good at pool it says everything.
Melling doesn’t really count because he was ranked 79.
You people crack me up

2014-15Does it count in Canada?
Liam Highfield scored a 4-2 victory over Alex Pagulayan in the final round of Q School event two to earn a two-year card to the World Snooker Tour.
Canada’s Pagulayan, one of the world’s leading nine-ball pool stars, had surprised many with a run of wins having swapped blue baize for green, but the player nicknamed The Lion wasn’t able to kill off his final opponent.
However, having won several matches in both Q School events, the 37-year-old, who was born in the Philippines, will have the chance to enter to certain ranking events during the 2014/15 season as a ‘top-up’ amateur
Why's that? Melling wasn't making a living as a snooker player either!So a crappy professional snooker player can win professional pool tournaments.

He was.
No that's no where near the same level as a ranking event by any stretch of the imagination, I stick Trump with Chip for a month he would be a threat to win pro am events , he's played just one event with little practice and a cue not his and his Fargo rate works out to 725 , that's low end pro speed first time out, pretty impressive !Does it count in Canada?

That’s like saying the crappiest pro golfer isn’t making it.
If you took the top 16 snooker players and the top 16 pool players
Who’s going to beat who at the others game?
I like the snooker pros

This should really crack you up, like I said, he didn't play snooker good enough to earn a living, which is why he switched to playing POOL!So a crappy professional snooker player can win professional pool tournaments.

His snooker career earnings was $54,855 in dollars, you call that making a living playing snooker?
You do know why apple's and oranges taste different, right?
Nobody stated it had to be a good living.
If a shitty snooker pro can pound on pro pool players,,.what will the good ones do after a while?
So you call a career earnings of $54,855 in America dollars making a living?? Thats his TOTAL earnings as a Professional snooker player!!
