The 147Er-Club Nichts Im Snookersport Geht Über Das 147Er-Break, Denn Näher Kann Man Der Perfektion Am Tisch Nicht Sein aus: Hugo Kastner: SNOOKER – Spieler, Regeln & Rekorde Update: Mai 2012 Maximum Breaks 147 (Professional Snooker) The 147er-Club Nichts im Snookersport geht über das 147er-Break, denn näher kann man der Perfektion am Tisch nicht sein. Und selten genug gelingt es sogar den absoluten Superstars in professionellen Snookerwettkämpfen ein „147“ zu schaffen. Der Grund liegt nicht allein in der Schwierigkeit, 36 perfekte Stöße in Serie zu machen, sondern auch in der Spannung, die bei den heute üblichen Kurzserien auf jedem Frame liegt. Sicherheitsspiel und der Wechsel von Angriff zu Verteidigung, wenn nicht mit hohem Prozentsatz ein Potten zu erwarten ist, lassen die „147“ zu einer Rarität werden, auch bei den heute hochkarätigsten Turnieren. Glück gehört auch noch dazu, keine Frage, denn bisweilen entscheiden Millimeter über einen exzellenten oder katastrophalen Stoß. Dafür ist der Lohn hoch, der ideelle wie auch der finanzielle. 147.000 Pfund, die viele Jahre für ein Maximum bei der Weltmeisterschaft ausgeschüttet wurden, entsprachen fast dem Siegerscheck für dieses Turnier. Seit der Saison 2011/12 lässt ein Roll-over-System das Preisgeld für ein „147“ von Turnier zu Turnier anwachsen, falls nicht irgendein Spieler durch ein „Max“ den Jackpot knackt. In den TV-Spielen werden 5000 Pfund ausbezahlt (bzw. mitgenommen), in den Qualifikationsphase 500 Pfund, ebenso in der Players Tour Championship. Dennoch führt für die Stars der wahre Weg zum Snookerhimmel über den moralischen Egogewinn und die Anerkennung durch die Fangemeinde. Jeder Snookerstar träumt von „seinem“ Maximum! Wer sind bis dato die Mitglieder dieses exklusiven 147er-Clubs des Professional Snooker? 1 Steve Davis – John Spencer (5-2) # (Lada Classic) 11.

Apr. 2012 2 aus: Hugo Kastner: SNOOKER – Spieler, Regeln & Rekorde Update: Mai 2012 Maximum Breaks 147 (Professional Snooker) Top 147 Players Nur knapp über ein Dutzend Spieler haben unter Turnierbedingungen mehr als ein Maximum Break geschafft. Ronnie O’Sullivan 11 Steven Hendry 11 John Higgins 5 Ding Junhui 4 James Wattana 3 Jamie Cope 3 Cliff Thorburn 2 Nick Dyson 2 Stuart Bingham 2 Stephen Maguire 2 Mark Williams 2 David Gray 2 Marco Fu 2 Robert Milkins 2 Kommentar: Waren die frühen Maximum Breaks noch oft umstritten, also der Status offiziell oder inoffiziell unklar, so gelten heute einfache Regeln. Es muss ein WPBSA-Turnier mit genormten Taschengrößen sein, und ein Schiedsrichter muss das Match überwachen. • Murt O’Donoghue (Neuseeland, 1901-1994) machte am 26. September 1934 in Griffith, New South Wales, das erste Maximum Break, allerdings ein nie offiziell anerkanntes. • Im November 1948 folgte der Kanadier Leo Levitt im Windsor Club, Montreal mit einem weiteren inoffiziellen 147er. • Joe Davis, dem König des Snookers, war es vorbehalten, am 22. Januar 1955 in der Leicester Square Hall in London in einem Spiel gegen Willie Smith das erste offizielle 147er auf den Tisch zu zaubern.

AuthenticBy S MankadAuthentic, insightful, funny and sometimes tragic. I was a snooker a follower back in the 80's and this autobiography gives a window behind the scenes for one of the highest profile players. Jimmy White, to me, presents a candid and honest account of the highs and low in an entertaining and thought provoking way - the chapter on Alex Higgins was brilliant, funny and tragic all at the same time. Overall the book is very authentic an i would recommend to anyone who follows snooker or is just interested in human nature and the events and people that shape us as we moved through life.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. seems like a happy go lucky chap with extraordinary talentBy Michael O'BrienJimmy has lived an extraordinary life, seems like a happy go lucky chap with extraordinary talent, which he unfortunately didn't make the most of, but he has impressively made peace with it all.and.is grateful for what he has.This is more revealing than I expected, with lots of interesting stories about snooker, family and celebrity life.

  • Snooker Superstar
    Snooker Superstar 1 Snooker Superstar 台球巨星 Star Profile – Ding Junhui 新星简介--丁俊辉 Read the text below and do the activity that follows. 阅读下面的短文，然后完成练习： If 2005 was the year that Ding Junhui exploded onto the international snooker scene, then 2006 could be the year he becomes a legend. Ding fulfilled his potential in a nail-biting confrontation with Steve Davis in the final of the prestigious UK Championship last December. He defeated the six-time world champion by 10 frames to 6 in a thrilling final at the Barbican Centre in York. In defeating Davis he has already secured a place in history as he is the first ever player from outside the British Isles to win the UK Championship. Having won his first prize in competitive snooker at the age of thirteen, Ding is unquestionably a precocious talent. It seems that he has now matured into a world-class player – “It was only a matter of time before he joined the world’s elite”, says Steve Davis. Ding’s talent has been developed by his father, Ding Wenjun who became aware of his son’s remarkable abilities when he was just eight years old. Ding Wenjun explains, “When I was playing with my friends, he was attracted by the colourful balls and would play by himself on another table for a whole day”. Many years of hard work and sacrifice followed as Ding’s father gave up his business and moved to Dongguan in order to find better training facilities for his son. Both father and son lived in cramped conditions, sharing a five- square-metre room adjoining the local snooker club.

  • Some Say That There Are Actually Four Players from Outside the U.K
    Some say that there are actually four players from outside the U.K. that have been World Champion citing Australian Horace Lindrum, a nephew of Walter, who won the title in 1952. This event was boycotted by all the British professional players that year and for this reason many in the sport will not credit him with the achievement. The other three to make the list are first, Cliff Thorburn from Canada in 1980, defeating Alex Higgins 18 frames to 16. He also made the first 147 maximum break of the World Championships in his 1983 second round match against Terry Griffiths which he won 13 – 12. Third was Neil Robertson who won a never to be forgotten final against Scot Graeme Dott 18 frames to 13 in 2010. His route to the final had started with a match against Fergal O’Brien which he won 10 – 5. Next up was a heart stopping, come from behind win over Martin Gould after trailing 0 – 6 and again 5 – 11 before getting over the line 13 – 12. Steve Davis, multiple World Champion, was next and dispatched 13 – 5 which brought him to the semi finals and a 17 – 12 victory over Ali (The Captain) Carter. Third here but really second on the list is Ken Doherty from Eire who won the World title by beating Stephen Hendry, multiple World Champion winner from Scotland, at the Crucible in 1997 winning 18 - 12. Ken had previously become the I.B.S.F. amateur World Champion in 1989 by defeating Jon Birch of England 11 frames to 2 in the final held in Singapore.

    Marcel Eckardt might not be a name you are familiar with, in snooker. 21 year old Marcel is part of the new breed of referees. “This interview is the first I have done; I am a little bit excited.”At 21 Mar- cel describes himself as organised, helpful and friendly all good qualities doe a referee. How did the German born ref get into snooker? “I was 13 I think, I watched it on telly and found it interesting. I never got the chance to play snooker growing up as there were no tables near where I lived. Snooker and Pool aren’t popular in my region but I want to do my best to change that. “I love to play but you can’t be a player and a referee, so my solution to this was play pool. I started at 19 far too late to reach anything, but I’m not bad at it. It helps me learn more to improve my skills as a referee as well.” Snooker is seeing a change, with new players and recently a large intake of young referee’s, what interests young people in the game? “I think snooker is the perfect alternative for young people. Not everyone follows the crowd and favours team sports. Skills like concentration, tactic but also mental strength are important for snooker.” “Refereeing the final on PHC was exciting but, I had spent the day before feeling really ill, I felt confident and very proud to be given the opportunity. I would next like to referee the World Championship final, that’s the dream.” Referee’s in all sports face a lot of stick from fans, but it seems snooker fans are more respectful.

  • World Snooker Championship 2016 FAQ
    World Snooker Championship 2016 FAQ Written by Warren Pilkington, 14th April 2016. Will be updated as the tournament progresses where possible. Tournament What is the World Snooker Championship? The World Snooker Championship traditionally takes place in April and early May over a 17 day period with the final day being on the May Bank Holiday Monday. This year’s tournament starts Saturday 16th April and finishes Monday 2nd May 2016. Who is the defending champion? Stuart Bingham is the defending champion, who defeated Shaun Murphy 18-15. It was Stuart’s first World Championship title. Where is the tournament held? The tournament is held at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, and has been since 1977. It is often referred to as “the home of snooker” by fans, commentators and players alike. Why The Crucible Theatre? When promoter Mike Watterson’s wife saw a play at this intimate theatre in the round, she recommended it to him as an ideal venue. The closeness of the crowd to the stage (notably with two tables) and the 980 seated capacity gives it that special aura. What is the Crucible Curse? Since the World Championship has been held at the Crucible Theatre, no first time World Champion has gone on to win the championship the following year. This is known as the Crucible Curse. The closest anyone has come to breaking the Curse was Joe Johnson, who after winning in 1986 against Steve Davis lost to Steve Davis in the 1987 final 18-14. Who qualifies for the tournament automatically? The top 16 ranked players at the final event ranking cutoff (the China Open) will qualify.
