ChinaSnooker FAQ
Who is the greatest snooker player of all time?
Ronnie O'Sullivan is the most common answer, combining longevity, titles and a talent widely regarded as the most natural the game has seen. Stephen Hendry's era of dominance keeps him central to the debate.
What is a maximum break in snooker?
A maximum break, or 147, is the highest possible score in a single frame, clearing the table with a red and black combination throughout. It is the sport's perfect performance and each one is celebrated accordingly.
How much do snooker players earn?
The top professionals earn well through prize money, with the World Championship carrying the biggest cheque, plus exhibition and sponsorship income. Life on the lower rungs of the tour is far tougher financially.
What is the Crucible?
The Crucible Theatre in Sheffield has hosted the World Snooker Championship for decades and is inseparable from the sport's identity. Its intimate setting creates an atmosphere unlike anywhere else in sport.
