Ding potted 15 reds with 15 blues and all the colours upto the pink with the butt of his cue and was disqualified for persistent fouling by a walking ref as there would have been too many matches with too little amount of refs. As he was disqualified he lost 10-0.

I know that seemed the most likely answer... but no!

D_G ? Just to make sure ... this was "human" type snooker? Not the kind that's played on Astronomicus or elsewhere in ApeSpace? Just 15 reds?

Yes, normal orang-utan snooker, as also played by humans. So, yes, normal - 15 reds, 6 colours and a white!

It was a match "first to 10" games, and each game was more than just one frame?

Each game was one frame. Davis won ten frames to nil...

Ding potted 7 reds in one shot followed by a blue then potted the remaining 8 reds in one shot.

LOL!! Almost deserves the point for the comic value of this alone.

... He took 26 shots trying to get out of the snooker before he managed it on the 27th occasion.

Hahaha... I don't think the referee would call a miss that many times... think how many snookers Ding would require by then!

...an easy 10-0 triumph for Davis.

Now this bit IS right...

Gordon can confirm that Ding potted one blue after each red...

oh, I'm sure those two little cuddly apes were chatting bit too much during the game and didn't notice that Davis actually snookered Ding with that brakeoff shot so Ding added 140 penalty points to Davis's score and thus didn't win the frame despite a good break. After this frame Davis stepped up and won the next 9 games with 3 centuries, 2 80+ and 1 60+ break.

Hehehe, my apes didn't miss any shots. That would be a lot of chatting to miss 140 penalty points...

Ding potted 7 reds in one shot followed by a blue then potted the remaining 8 reds in one shot. He followed that up with another blue but after potting it he snookered himself on the yellow. He took 26 shots trying to get out of the snooker before he managed it on the 27th occasion. He then potted yellow, green, brown and blue before trying to lay a snooker on the pink but potted it. Ding conceded the frame because just the black was left. This frame left Ding mentally scarred for the rest of the match and it dawned on him he must be desperate for cash as he is playing in the Pro-Am Ape-Man Snooker Apen meaning an easy 10-0 triumph for Davis.

Well Davis an Ding didn't play each other ...
It was the Ape-Man snooker Apen!

Yes, they did And some matches were 2 orang-utans playing...

[davis_greatest]

Ding missed the black and "did Ronnie" by conceding the match right away?

Hehehe... afraid not!

ROUND ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-EIGHT

... anyone?

OK!

ROUND ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-EIGHT

I was really worried! Charlie, Oliver and Gordon had disappeared! Finally, after much frantic searching, I found them – they had just popped out of the Puzzles with numbers and things thread and appeared next door, here in Snooker’s Biggest Quiz!

“Where have you been?” I asked Oliver.

“We went to watch the Pro-Am Ape-Man Snooker Apen,” he replied.

“Oh? Whom did you see?”

“Well, it wasn’t that good,” chipped in Gordon, “’cos we didn’t get to see any gorillas playing. Just two men – one called Ding and one called Davis.”

“How did Davis play?” I asked.

“Oh,” said Oliver. “We didn’t see much of him. In fact, we only stayed for about 10 minutes of the match and only saw him play one shot – the break off!”

“And Ding?” I asked.

“Well,” piped up Charlie. “Ding wasn’t too bad. We saw him pot 15 reds, all with blues, and the first five colours (yellow to pink)!”

“Anything else?”

“No,” said Charlie. “That’s all we saw – just those 36 shots!”

“So what was the final score?” I asked.

“Well,” replied Charlie. “We didn’t see the whole match of course, but we did just look up the final score on the Chimpernet. It seems that Davis didn’t play too badly in the rest of the match.”

“So…. the score?” I asked again.

“Davis,” answered Gordon, “won 10-0. Of course.”

How did the match finish in such a way?
