Figured I may as well make a thread to express my love for the sport of snooker. If you don't know what snooker is... well... Just watch the video below and be amazed. Ronnie O'Sullivan does it again and wins the Welsh Open in style with his 14th competitive 147 (Maximum): lol dat thumbnail fayce doe... Quick overview of snooker if you are still confused: Red - 1 Point Yellow - 2 Points Green - 3 Points Brown - 4 Points Blue - 5 Points Pink - 6 Points Black - 7 Points You must pot a red ball before being able to pot any of the other coloured balls. Your turn is up when you fail to hit a ball. Hit a wrong ball and the other player gets a minimum of 4 points or the point value of the ball hit if it is higher than 4. Missing balls completely or potting the white ball is also a 4 point foul. Unless you are on a colour and miss it, the opponent gets the point value of the ball you were attempting to hit. It's not all about potting balls though, there are a ton of tactics you can use if you do not have a good shot on. E.g... snookers:
An astonishing performance all around, throughout the week. If he's even half as good as good in the world championship as he was in Wales this week or the Masters in January I cannot imagine him not winning the third one on the trot. Edit: I should add a short quote I read elsewhere at the beginning of the Welsh Open: 'Either Ronnie wins or Ronnie beats himself,' which really does seem to be the way of it lately. (I also believe the number ought to be twelve; else he'd have bested Stephen long ago.)
