Snooker

In snooker, the extra stick is typically referred to as a "bridge." It is used to support the cue when a player needs to make a shot that is difficult to reach or when the cue ball is obstructed. The bridge can be a hand bridge, where the player forms a bridge with their hand, or a mechanical bridge, which is a device that helps elevate the cue for better aiming and control. This tool allows for greater precision in challenging shot situations.

Websites such as Snooker.org or regional sports associations may also have relevant information.

The cloth on a snooker table is typically around 1.5 to 2 millimeters thick. It is made from a blend of wool and nylon, which provides a smooth playing surface while ensuring durability. The quality of the cloth can impact gameplay, influencing factors like speed and ball control. Regular maintenance and replacement are essential to keep the table in optimal playing condition.

A full set of snooker balls typically costs between $50 to $150, depending on the brand and quality. Higher-end sets made from premium materials can be more expensive. You can find various options online or at sports retailers to suit different budgets.

As of October 2023, Ronnie O'Sullivan holds the record for the most final frame deciders in professional snooker. His ability to perform under pressure has led him to numerous matches that have gone down to the wire. O'Sullivan's experience and skill in these high-stakes situations have contributed to his legendary status in the sport.

The professional snooker circuit banned players from drinking alcohol during matches in 1986. This decision was made to promote a more professional image of the sport and to ensure players maintain a high standard of conduct during competitions. The ban reflects the sport's commitment to integrity and professionalism.

The record for the most reds potted in one shot in snooker is 15, achieved by Ronnie O'Sullivan during his 147 break in the 1997 World Championship. This remarkable feat showcased his exceptional skill and precision. O'Sullivan's ability to pot all 15 reds consecutively, followed by the colors, remains a highlight in snooker history.

Oh, dude, tipping the football pool administrator? That's like tipping the weatherman for predicting rain - unnecessary but hey, if you're feeling generous, go for it. If you really wanna tip, maybe toss 'em a couple bucks, or a high five if you're feeling extra generous. But seriously, tipping for winning a pool? That's like tipping yourself for being awesome.

Oh, honey, let me tell you about Steve Davis. He was a snooker legend back in the day, winning all sorts of titles and breaking records left and right. If you're talking about the 80s snooker scene, you can't forget about ol' Steve Davis.

Oh, dude, you're asking the deep questions now! So, like, a game of snooker is called a frame because it's like a picture frame for all the cool shots you're gonna make. It's where the magic happens, where the drama unfolds, and where you show off your sick skills. So, yeah, it's called a frame because it's where the game gets framed, man.

The device worn in the right ear by the audience at snooker tournaments is called a "silencer" or "earpiece." It is used to mask the sound of the balls colliding during the game, as the sound can be distracting to the players. The silencer helps maintain a quiet and focused environment for the players, ensuring fair gameplay.

Pool and billiards are similar to snooker as they are all cue sports played on a rectangular table with pockets. They involve using a cue stick to strike colored balls into pockets, with the objective being to score points by potting balls.

15 reds 6 colours & a cueball. Pot a red then a colour & then another red & so on. When all the reds are potted pot the colours in sequence. Well, that's the simple explanation......

Like referees in other sports, snooker referees are there to ensure the rules are adhered to. They also do other jobs, like returning balls to the table after shots, setting up the table for each frame and assisting the players by doing things like cleaning balls or giving them additional equipment for shots. They keep track of scores, announcing totals of a break as it progresses. They can also interact with the audience to ensure the atmosphere is quiet so the players can play.

Then that is a snooker, either created by yourself or your opponent. Depending on how you play the shot you will receive foul points.

Hire someone who knows what they are doing. Not as a derogatory comment to you, or your skills. Those tables (if slate) can weigh in the same (or more) than your car and if you mess up in taking them apart you can get seriously flattened. The largest part about taking them apart is recognizing how they are put together, and without those skills you most likely don't have the skills to do it safely. The way tables are put together is very much dependent on who made the table, its size, and materials. Generally tables have two major parts; the legs (support system) and the top (play area). Normally you can separate these two with a few large bolts underneath; be warned that some tables will 'fall' when you do this as the legs are not tied together (on some tables). Also be warned that even if you are an Olympic weight lifter the 1,000 pound top has no nice handles to get a hold of it. Also, some tables cannot stand the stress if you attempt to lift it by the side rails; they break off, IE: it is intended to have the side rails removed for moving, while other tables are intended to have them stay on.

The top itself is made up of the play area, the rails and return system (if any). Variation becomes large at this point and it is easiest to say more complicated and beyond the scope of a simple answer session like this, so I will skip the rest. Taking the top apart is not suggested, more so if it is a multi piece slate top as you have to re-level the slates as well as the table once in place. Trust me, pay someone a couple hundred bucks to move it you will be much happier (your back and medical insurance company will be too), you won't kill yourself (or others) and the table will not be destroyed by making the wrong mistakes.

There is no list of century break makers I have been able to find. However, the related link shows the list of those with over 100 centuries.
