Snooker pointing? |
i was watching snooker on my black and white tv yesterday and was wondering,how many points for the purple ball.the commentator failed to mention this after me watching it all day. If you have a black and white television how in the hell did you see a PURPLE BALL ! Were you drinking while watching the snooker or maybe smoking an illegal substance ? What ever you were on can i have some PLEASE If u were watching on a B&W TV... how do u know the ball was purple...lol Vin put your TV in the bin! How did you manage to see a purple ball on a b&w t.v? P.s. There is no purple ball. **Edit** The version of the game that Loislane is talking about, involving a purple ball is called "Snooker plus". Here's an article from Wikipedia about snooker plus: Snooker Plus was a variation on the game of snooker and it was created by Joe Davis, the reigning World snooker champion of the time. He attempted to reinvigorate the declining popularity of the sport by adding an orange ball (8 points) and a purple ball (10 points) to the set: The idea was that this would increase the maximum break from 147 to 210, and so help to attract a greater audience. It was introduced to the public on 26 October 1959 during a major snooker tournament, but failed to catch on. ?????? There actually used to be a purple ball in the game in the 60's and it was worth 9 points :) My 'massive snooker fan / snooker player' husband lol. in the original game their was a purple ball and I think an orange one too. |
