Canadian snooker player Kirk Stevens hit a televised maximum break of 147 in the Benson & Hedges Masters in 1984, against Jimmy White - the only such break in the competition until match by Ding Junhui in 2007.

The basic concept is, you use your cue to pot one red ball followed by a colored ball, followed by a red, followed by a color and so on. The colors are replaced on their spots if they are potted. Once all the reds are potted you have to pot the colors in the order, yellow, green, brown, blue, pink then black. Play continues until all balls are cleared or you or your opponent concede the frame.

A red is worth 1, yellow 2, green 3, brown 4, blue 5, pink 6 and black 7.

If you try to hit a ball and miss the penalty is 4 points, unless it was a blue, pink or black, in which case the penalty is 5,6 and 7 respectively, given to your opponent. If you hit a ball which you were not meant to it is the same as a miss.

John Smyth - snooker referee - was born in 1928.

Black , Pink, Blue

The floor is first leveled, if necessary. As the table is assembled, a long and a short level are used for the important surfaces. When the slate is laid on the table, the levels are again used as the slate is fastened, with very small shims used to level the slate. After the slate is fully tightened and finished, the level is checked. The level of effort required to level the table surface depends upon the quality of the table and proper assembly.

The green ball. It is worth 3 points, while the yellow is worth 2 points.

Clamp your cue on a flat surface with the bend going up, then apply controlled heat to warp it back straight. There is two ways that your cue has warped, one being dampness. As the damp gets into the cue the wood softens and bends, when it dries out the cue stays bent. Or the cue is exposed to a hot temperature, eg in a worm car boot also leaning it against a radiator.

I think Ronnie O'Sullivan.

He is naturally gifted , the only player cu is able to use both hands,realized a 147 points break in 5 minutes..

He's the best

Ronnie O'Sullivan

i still would of said Stephen hendry

The colours have the following value

Yellow - 2

Green - 3

Brown - 4

Blue - 5

Pink - 6

Black - 7

The last red has to be potted before starting on the colours.

27 is the value of the colours potted in order without missing one.

The highest score is normally considered as 147 (potting all 15 reds followed by a black on every red and then the colours) but it is possible to score more than this if your first shot is due to a foul by your opponent.

There have been different forms of the World Snooker Championship since the first in 1927.

Since the World championships moved to the Crucible, Sheffield in 1977, the World champions have been:

Stephen Hendry (7), Steve Davis (6), Ronnie O'Sullivan (3), John Higgins (3), Mark Williams (2), with Alex Higgins, Shaun Murphy, Graeme Dott, John Parrott, Peter Ebdon, Joe Johnson, Terry Griffiths, Dennis Taylor, Ken Doherty, Neil Robertson, John Spencer, Ray Reardon & Cliff Thorburn all winning 1 title there.

Between 1969 and 1976, Ray Reardon won 5, John Spencer won 2 and Alex Higgins won 1.

Prior to 1969 Joe Davis won 15, John Pullman won 7, Fred Davis won 3, Walter Donaldson won 2 and Horace Lindrum won 1.

Putting this all together, you get the following:

Joe Davis - 15

John Pullman, Stephen Hendry - 7

Ray Reardon, Steve Davis - 6

Fred Davis, Ronnie O' Sullivan, John Higgins, John Spencer - 3

Walter Donaldson, Alex Higgins, Mark Williams - 2

Horace Lindrum, Shaun Murphy, Graeme Dott, John Parrott, Peter Ebdon, Joe Johnson, Terry Griffiths, Dennis Taylor, Ken Doherty, Neil Robertson, Cliff Thorburn - 1

It is a foul. Depending on specifically what happened, the opposing player will be awarded a set amount of points, either 4, 5, 6 or 7.

Ronnie "The Rocket" O'Sullivan fastest 147 break is the fastest on record and was recorded by The Guinness Book of World Records at 5 minutes and 20 seconds. Go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btmB-p_0QFg to watch it.

Five points.

Stephen Hendry has won the most money, earning just over £7.5million in prize money, as well as an estimated £4million in advertising, so overall a combined total of £11.5million. He is the most successful player, but the richest is definitely Ronnie O'Sullivan.

Ronnie O'Sullivan has earned just over £6.5million in prize money, but has made an estimated £34.75million in advertising, for Rileys, Strachan and other things such as Gilette, Adidas and Dunlop. His combined total is £41.25million.

The table is measured from rail to rail, the playing surface. The regulation pool table sizes will measure 100 inches by 50 inches (9 foot table) or 88 inches by 44 inches (8 foot table) or 92 inches by 46 inches (oversize 8 foot table).

No. Other than both being cue sports, they are very different.

Ronnie O'Sullivan, Greame Dott, Mark Allen, Ding Junhui, Ali Carter, Neil Robertson, Peter Ebdon, Liang Wenbow, Dennis Taylor, Steve Davis, Stephen Hendry, Shaun Murphy.

Yes.

After potting the white the ball is normally placed in the D (there may be an exception to this if the referee deemed the shot to be called a "miss" and the opponent enforces the miss rule) and from there may be shot in any direction desired.

Dennis won in 1985 against Steve Davis in the final. Dennis was famous for his glasses. He commentates now on the BBc.

In 8 Ball, the table remains "open", meaning no one has high (stripes) or low (solids) and the next player shoots. Depending uopon the rules in use, this can be "ball-in-hand" anywhere on the table or only from behind the line (the break area).

Alex won the World Snooker Championship twice. He won it in 1972 and again in 1982.

Not as much as you might think. They dont get paid per match, they get paid a daily rate. At professional level it is approx £75 per day with expenses of £15 per day.
