		Former World Champion Ronnie O’Sullivan was fined last week by the World Snooker Association after a disciplinary hearing concerning his walk-out at the UK Championship in December, last year.
		We are watching the last session of the World Snooker Championship final between John Higgins and Mark Selby.
		The show is grate and we are witnessing top quality snooker being played, but as the time goes by fatigue and tension should take their tall on the players, focusing so hard for long periods of time is very hard so it’s a matter of time until one of them “cracks”…

		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.

		Snooker is a billiards game played on a baize-covered table that has pockets in all four corners and in the middle of each of the long cushions.
		Due to the 'foul, and a miss' rule, it is possible for an endless number of points to be scored by one player in one frame, if he puts his opponent into a snooker from which the opponent keeps having 'foul, and a miss' called, and he keeps asking for the balls to be replaced.

		Snooker is played with 22 balls which are positioned at the start of the game as shown in the diagram.
		A snooker occurs when the balls are so placed that a player cannot strike the ball he is due to play without hitting a cushion or making the cue-ball swerve.
		The world rankings are published at the end of each season but the best way to keep up with current form is to read the provisional rankings which are updated after each tournament.
