The caption under the picture of Ronnie O'Sullivan says:
Ronnie O’Sullivan won most titles in the last decade (2001, 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2013).
A decade is 10 years whereas these dates span 13 years — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.158.140.93 ( talk) 13:33, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
Hmmmm, technically speaking it's been half fixed. The last decade, in World Championship terms, is surely 2003 to 2013. Probably best to change the phrase to "Ronnie O’Sullivan has won the most World titles in the 21st Century" or similar, I would think..?
The article states that a snooker table is 12ft X 6ft but the rules of snooker say that it should be 11ft 8.5in X 5ft 10in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.185.46.97 ( talk) 09:48, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
I don't know why Haldraper insists on removing this but it seems he won't stop. So I would like to start a conversation to get consensus to back or forbid a pronunciation. It is clear to me that there needs to be a pronunciation; the pronunciation is unclear and we frequently include such pronunciation guides. 67.164.156.42 ( talk) 03:25, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

In 2017 terms, the sourcing in here is pretty embarrassing – lots of random websites by nobodies (
WP:SPS), and lots of dead links that needs to be replaced with Web archive snapshots ({{cite web | ... |dead-url=yes |archive-url= https://... |archive-date=...}}
}} so they work and so this stops categorizing as having dead links in it. There are way better sources available on this history of snooker, anyway, than things like fcsnooker and titansports, which are not reputable publishers. —

With so many different sizes of tables, balls come in many sizes even in children's sizes. What are the sizes? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.70.29.185 ( talk) 08:54, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
We've been working on the assumption that game and frame are interchangeable but this is not actually the case. According to the official WPBSA Rulebook (page 10), "A game is an agreed or stipulated number of frames." and "A match is an agreed or stipulated number of games." So the only time when a "game" and a "frame" could be treated as the same thing is if we say each game consists of just one frame. Do we need to address this anomaly in the article or just avoid it altogether?
I've read somewhere (can't remember where) that a game might be seen as a mini-session (a "best of 3 frames" or a "best of 5 frames") and then you play these a number of times to make up an entire match. Has this format ever been used historically? Modern snooker matches do tend to be split across sessions, but as each session normally contains an even number of frames there's not necessarily an outright winner so it doesn't quite tally up with that idea.
The anomoly was up front in the first paragraph until Lee removed it yesterday. So shall we agree to just reserve the word "game" for the phrase "the game of snooker"? Rodney Baggins ( talk) 18:24, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
One game of snooker, beginning with the balls in their starting positions and ending when the last ball is potted, is called a "frame".Is that OK? Rodney Baggins ( talk) 19:36, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
