What is a snooker referees job?
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.
What happens if there is a draw in snooker after a foul?

How do you dismantle a snooker table?
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.

Why was'NT the world snooker championships played in 1958-1963?
In 1952, as a result of a disagreement between the governing bodies (the Billiards Association and Control Council), and some of the players, two tournaments were held. The World Matchplay, organised by the players and widely viewed as the "real" world championship, continued until 1957. The BA&CC event only lasted one year. Meanwhile the 'official' world championship did attract two entrants in 1952, Horace Lindrum (Australia) beating New Zealand's Clark McConachy - and it is Lindrum's name that is inscribed on the familiar trophy. Snooker then went into a period of decline, and no tournament was held between 1958 and 1963. In 1964 it was revived on a challenge basis.
