Snooker's Biggest Quiz

[Cyril]

John Barrie (real name Barrie Smith) was a real quality player from Snooker's golden era.

(really should update this site!)

Can't believe I'm still 10th on this quiz roll, having not taken part for so long!!

Can I give PaulTheSoave a minus point for saying 72 - the year of the Hurricane?

73's first timers included Thorburn and Dennis Taylor. 75 (in Australia) had a handful of new Aussies.

Attilahun scores the point with 1978 - not a single debutant, but it did have John Barrie returning after an amazing 34-year absence!

ROUND 201 - Anyone ???

[davis_greatest]

I'll guess 1973.

[hegeland]

It's been a long time but I say 1975?

[PaulTheSoave]

1972, its time to go for the first place here!

[attilahun]

1978, maybe.....

[jon]

Was it 1970 (November)? (seen as the 1971 championship)

No! Mans, Morgan, Simpson and Squire debuted in that one.

You need to find yourself a decent book about the World Championships, Statman!

[The Statman]

Was it 1970 (November)? (seen as the 1971 championship)

[jon]

There have been 39 "modern" World Championships since 1968/69.

Which was the only one that did not include a single World Championship debutant? I am referring to the entire competition including qualifying rounds.

[dantuck_7]

That is the correct answer that I have heard - although I haven't been able to confirm this from the results that I have, as they don't go back to when Hendry started his carreer.

ROUND TWO HUNDRED - Anyone ???

[jon]

Mark Johnston-Allen?

[dantuck_7]

R199

ROUND ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY-NINE

This is probably quite a common snooker question that has been asked before! If it was recent then apologies in advance.

Who is the only player that Stephen Hendry has never beaten in a ranking event (qualifiers included and he has played more than one match against this player).

Answers on a postcard.

[The Statman]

Congratulations snookerfun. The green spot is the only snooker spot that has no use in billiards.

In billiards, the red is spotted on the Black spot or, if that is occupied, the Pink spot; and every third time on the Blue spot. The Blue spot is also where the opponent's cue-ball goes if the balls are reset.

If a player leaves his opponent without a white object ball when he comes to the table because of his last shot, then after 15 shots by his opponent his cue-ball is returned, on the Brown spot or, if that is occupied, the Yellow spot.

The Green spot is not used.


So, here is the scoreboard after Round 198:

ROUND ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY-NINE

[The Statman]

We have a correct answer!

It is EITHER yellow OR green but I can't for the life of me remember which it is! I shall check upon my arrival home this evening and award the point accordingly!

[snookersfun]
