	World Snooker Championship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The World Snooker Championship, currently held at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, is the climax of snooker's annual calendar and the most important snooker event of the year in terms of prestige, prize money and world ranking points.
		Meanwhile the 'official' world championship did attract two entrants in 1952, Horace Lindrum (Australia) beating New Zealander 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.

		Snooker is a billiards sport that is played on a large (12 Ã— 6) baize-covered table with pockets in each of the four corners and in the middle of each of the long side cushions.
		Perhaps the peak of this golden age was the world championship of 1985, when 18.5 million people (one third of the population of the UK) watched Dennis Taylor lift the cup after a mammoth struggle that finished with the potting of the last possible ball, well after midnight.
		Snooker is played on a rectangular 6' by 12' (about 1.83m by 3.66m) table (often referred to as 'Full Size' as smaller same ratio tables can be used) with six pockets, one at each corner and one in the middle of each long side.
