Snooker's Biggest Quiz

[JPK123]

Was it something to do with Ray making a chip in the white or somehow losing the white ball, meaning they had to use the closest in colour to the white or lowest in value (yellow) as a cue ball?


[Long shot!]

[crucible77]

Was it Snooker Plus being played with a yellow cue ball???

(Also please do have ago at my quiz in the Snooker Quiz!!! thread)

[davis_greatest]

It was snooker.

[crucible77]

Was he playing Billiards?

[Monique]

It wasn't a match of snooker. It was - say 3-cushions - and Ray was playing with the yellow cue ball

[davis_greatest]

ROUND TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHTY ONE

During a match once in Vanderbijlpark in South Africa, Ray Reardon struck the yellow ball with the tip of his cue. Why did the referee not call a foul, and what else was special about Reardon's play in that frame? Half a point for each.

In this question, you need not wait for someone else to post before making more than one guess, if you wish.
