thread_title:  Volunteer snooker 

message: The small book "Snooker Games" by Mike Stooke (1988, ) documents more snooker variations, "chase the green", "crash" and "cricket", that either need articles or should have short coverage here. Or maybe there should be a Variants of snooker article with all of these as well as volunteer snooker, sinuca Brasileira, etc. Needs to be resolved one of these three ways. — SMcCandlish   Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō)ˀ  Contribs. 21:02, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Snookerpool 

message: The BACC "eventually agreed to stage the first Professional Championship of Snooker's Pool in the 1926-27 season. It was a season-long tournament; the first world championship game was between Melbourne Inman and Tom Newman at Thurston's Hall, played between November 26 and December 6, 1926 ... The final, which Davis won, was held at one of Camkin's Billiard Halls in Birmingham, and started on May 9, 1927." Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 17:56, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for that Benny. I can see that the championship is labelled 1927 because that's when the all-important final took place, but it was actually spread over the 26/27 season. I'm thinking we can probably cover the confusion using a carefully worded footnote, which itself could carry your citation. I'll look at it later. Rodney Baggins (talk) 09:20, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
