Crucible curse

The "**Crucible curse**" (also known as "**The curse of the Crucible**") refers to the fact that no first-time snooker world champion has retained his title the following year since the tournament moved to the Crucible Theatre, Sheffield in 1977.

The last player to successfully defend his first world title was John Pulman in 1964, when the championship was still decided by challenge matches,and the tournament had not yet moved to the Crucible Theatre. Since 1977, 15 world champions have experienced the curse, the most recent being Ali Carter at the 2012 World Snooker Championship.

Barry Hawkins

**Barry Hawkins** (born 23 April 1979) is an English professional snooker player who is the current World No. 1. He turned professional in 1996, but only rose to prominence in the 2004/2005 snooker season, when he reached the last 16 of the 2004 UK Championship, the quarter-finals of the 2004 British Open, and the semi-finals of the 2005 Welsh Open. He has now spent eleven successive seasons ranked inside the top 32, and seven in the top 16.

He went on to win his first ranking title, the 2011 International Championship, and then reached his second ranking final in the same season at the 2011 World Open, where he lost 3-5 to Stuart Bingham. He won his second ranking event at the 2013 Shanghai Masters, before winning the 2013 Riga Open in the 2013 Tour of Europe.

He reached the 2014 World Championship final, before being beaten 13-18 by Ronnie O'Sullivan. Reaching the final ensured he was ranked 4th at the beginning of the 2014/15 season. In January 2015, Hawkins won his first Triple Crown even of his career, defeating Judd Trump 10-7 to win The Paul Hunter Masters. In the 2015/16 season, Hawkins won back-to-back ranking event titles by winning the 2015 Thailand Open and the 2015 Scottish Open, thus becoming world number one for the first time in his career.
WPBSA Annual Awards

The **WPBSA Annual Awards** is an awards ceremony hosted by snookers governing body, the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA), at the end of each scheduled season. The ceremony was created in 1982, due to rising interests in snooker and consisted of WPBSA Player of the Year and WPBSA Young Player of the Year.

The awards ceremony currently consists of six awards: WPBSA Player of the Year; WPBSA Young Player of the Year; WPBSA Best Moment of the Year; WPBSA Best Match of the Year; WPBSA Referee of the Year and WPBSA Sponsor of the Year. The ceremony consisted of just two awards from 1982 to 2003, when it adopted the Referee of the Year award. In 2006, it adopted the Best Match of the Year, and in 2009, the Best Moment of the Year. The Sponsor of the Year will be inaugurated for the 2015 WPBSA Annual Awards, being added to the list by WPBSA President Gary Wilkinson in 2014.

## WPBSA Player of the Year

The WPBSA Player of the Year has been frequently associated with the World Champion, but the World Champion does not always win the award. For example, Steve Davis was winner of the first award in May 1982, but Alex Higgins was the current World Champion. Davis was deemed to have performed better than Higgins throughout the season, which is why Davis was given the award. Stephen Hendry and Ronnie O'Sullivan jointly hold the record for the most wins (8), with Steve Davis second (7).

His victory at the World Championship was considered a major surprise as he was only the third qualifier to lift the title. He has won seven ranking titles, including the 2007 Malta Cup, 2009 Grand Prix, 2011 Hainan Classic, 2011 Thailand Open and the 2011 China Open. He is the current world number 11.

The Paul Hunter Masters

**The Paul Hunter Masters** currently referred to as the **Royal London Watches Paul Hunter Masters** for sponsorship reasons, is one of the three major tournaments in snooker, which compile the "Triple Crown" alongside the UK and World Championships. Unlike the other Triple Crown events, The Masters is an invitational non-ranking event, and usually only includes the top sixteen players in the world and although not a ranking event, it is regarded as one of the most prestigious tournaments on the circuit. Stephen Hendry and Ronnie O'Sullivan have won the tournament a record six times (Hendry - 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993 and 1996; O'Sullivan - 1995, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2014 and 2016). In 2013, the tournament was officially renamed "The Paul Hunter Masters" in memory of the deceased three-time champion Paul Hunter. The Paul Hunter Classic, a tournament renamed in his memory in 2010, had been discontinued for 2013/14 and the WPBSA decided to give "a big posthumous honour to one of the finest snooker players ever."

Ronnie O'Sullivan is the reigning champion.
Professional Matchplay Championship

The **Professional Matchplay Championship**, currently referred to as the **Betway Professional Matchplay Championship** for sponsorship purposes, is a professional snooker invitational tournament featuring the past eight world champions, in a long format snooker tournament.

First introduced in 1988 by Barry Hearn, the tournament originally was exclusively open for the top eight players in the world. In 1992 it was scrapped, and resurrected for the 2014/15 season, where it featured the past eight world champions.

The reigning champion is Ian McCulloch.
Peter Ebdon

**Peter David Ebdon** (born 27 August 1970) is an English professional snooker player. He was World Champion in 2002, beating Stephen Hendry 18–17 in the final, and won the UK Championship in 2006 and 6 other ranking events between 1993 and 2006. He was also a losing finalist in the World Championship in 1996 and 2006. Ebdon turned professional in 1991 and soon made an impact by beating six-time world champion Steve Davis 10–4 in the first round of the 1992 World Championship and reaching the quarter-final stage.

Known for his slow and tactical style of play, Ebdon is regarded by many as one of the most intense competitors on the professional tour. His 13-12 win over Ronnie O'Sullivan in the 2005 World Snooker Championship is regarded as one of his finest, despite playing a style of snooker that critics described as "anti-snooker."
Steve Davis

**Steve Davis** OBE (born 22 August 1957) is an English professional snooker player from Plumstead, London. Known for dominating the sport during the 1980s, when he won the World Championship six times and was ranked world number one for seven consecutive seasons, he is remembered particularly for contesting the 1985 World Championship final with Dennis Taylor, the black-ball conclusion of which attracted a record 18.5 million British viewers. He is a well known public figure and is generally viewed by his peers as one of the greatest players of all time.

In addition to his six world titles, Davis's career achievements include three Masters and a record six UK Championship titles. He won a total of 28 ranking events, second only to Stephen Hendry, and made over £5.6 million in prize money. Davis compiled more than 300 competitive century breaks,including the first officially recognised (and first televised) maximum break in professional competition, in 1982. During the 1987/1988 season, he became the first player to complete snooker's Triple Crown by winning the UK Championship, Masters, and World Championship in the same season. His other accomplishments include winning the World Doubles Championship four times with Tony Meo and winning the World Team Classic/World Cup four times with England.

Davis won his last world title in 1989, and captured his last major title when he won the 1997 Masters at the age of 39, but he continued to play snooker at a high level into his 50s. He reached the final of the 2005 UK Championship at the age of 48 and was still ranked inside the top 16 when he turned 50 during the 2007/2008 season. He reached the quarter-finals of the 2010 World Championship at the age of 52, making him the oldest quarter-finalist since Eddie Charlton in 1983.

Outside snooker, Davis has competed in pool tournaments, notably playing on Team Europe at the Mosconi Cup between 1994 and 2004, helping the team win the event in 1995 and 2002. He is also noted for his participation in poker events, having reached the final stages of several televised tournaments. Since 1996 he has been a regular broadcaster with Phoenix FM and an expert in the progressive rock genres of Zeuhl, RIO and the Canterbury scene. A keen amateur chess player, he has co-authored a chess book with grandmaster David Norwood and is a former president of the British Chess Federation. He has also published several books on snooker, including three autobiographies, one technical book and one comedy book called "How To Be Really Interesting."

He was a member of the worlds top 16 for over a decade, and played in every World Championship from 1988 to 2009. He is also an occasional pundit and commentator for Sky's snooker coverage.

Harold was renowned for both his very strong defensive play and his unusual cue-action, with which he is able to unleash a great deal of power on a shot without using backswing on the cue. Despite safety play ultimately being considered his strong point, he compiled 143 century breaks, putting him 22nd on the all-time list. Steve Davis has commented that he is not the most naturally gifted player, but makes up for this with strong tactical play.For his technique and grinding play he has been compared to Cliff Thorburn.

After failing to qualify for a second consecutive World Championship in 2014 and having a poor season in 2013/14, Harold announced his retirement from the professional game. He had dropped out of the top 32 for the first time since 1991, and cited a lack of enthusiasm for practice as a reason for his demise.

List of players who have been World Number One

There have been three ranking systems in place in professional snooker since 1977, which have seen eleven players hold the number-one rank: Ray Reardon, Cliff Thorburn, Steve Davis, Stephen Hendry, Tony Meo, John Higgins, Mark Williams, Ronnie O'Sullivan, Neil Robertson, Mark Selby and Barry Hawkins.

## Number one players

Under the old ranking format (1977-2010), Stephen Hendry holds the record for the most time spent at World Number One with eight seasons spent at the helm of the rankings (1990/91, 1992/93-1997/98, 2006/07), whilst Mark Selby holds the record for the most weeks spent at World Number One under the two new ranking systems (2010-2014, 2014-present), with 171. Steve Davis holds the record for the most consecutive seasons spent at World Number One under the old yearly ranking system with seven (1983/84-1989/90), and Selby holds the record for the most weeks spent at world number one under the two newer systems, with 168 full weeks spent consecutively at the summit of the rankings (February 2011-May 2014).

Below are the World Number One's under the old yearly ranking system, from 1977 to 2010.

For the 2010/11 season, a newly updated ranking system was put in place, updated every two months. In 2014/15 it became updated after every ranking tournament.
Players Championship

The **Players Championship**, currently referred to as the **Betfred Players Championship**, is a professional non-ranking snooker event currently held at the Fordham Hall, Epping, England. It features 16 players who have been the most successful over a one-year money list, who are randomly put into a draw against one another. The winner currently receives £120,000 - although no ranking points are won for the tournament.

The reigning champion is Ronnie O'Sullivan.
Melanie Agazscz

**Melanie Agazscz** (born 19 June 1990) is a Latvian-Polish snooker player, who competes in the Eastern European Tour and as an amateur on the WPBSA Snooker Challenge Tour. She reached the full qualification stage for the 2012 World Open, where she reached the last 64 of the tournament, beating former professional Tony Knowles 3-2 in the first round, and then being beaten by pro tour player David Grace 2-3. In doing so, Agazscz became the first woman to win in a ranking event since Carolina Richards at the 1982 World Championship.

Her highest break is 141, which she made in the Players Tournament held in Redjus, Latvia.

After reaching the last 64 of the World Open in 2012, Agazscz was given a Challenge Tour card, meaning she can compete as an amateur on the official tour in the UK.
Tony McCartney

**Tony Edward McCartney** (born 18th June 1982) is an English professional snooker player. He turned professional in 2010, after the suspension of John Higgins which allowed McCartney to enter the pro tour. He won his first professional event at the 2011 Paul Hunter Classic, and is nicknamed The Spitfire. He is one of only two black players on the world tour.

After turning professional, McCartney reached the last 16 of the World Open, before reaching the last 32 and the last 16 of the UK and World Championships respectively.

He rose to 58th in the official world rankings for the beginning of the 2011/12 season, and reached the final of the 2011 Thailand Open, losing to 2005 World Champion Shaun Murphy in the final after beating fellow Black British player Rory McLeod in the quarter-finals.

After reaching the final of Thailand Open, which is a ranking event, McCartney was described as "the most successful black player in the history of snooker" by his opponent Shaun Murphy. This comment was widely criticised by six-times world champion Steve Davis and five-times world champion Ronnie O'Sullivan, who acknowledged the achievements of McCartney, but highlighted the success and consistency of fellow black professional Rory McLeod.

He won his second pro-tour event in 2016, by beating three-time Triple Crown event winner Stephen Maguire 4-1 in the final of the Snooker-Plus Shootout.

Parrott won the World Snooker Championship in 1991, defeating Jimmy White in the final. Two years earlier he had lost 3–18 to Steve Davis, the heaviest final defeat in modern times. He repeated his win over White to add the UK Championship title later that year, and is one of only five players to win both championships in the same calendar year. He spent three successive seasons at number 2 in the world rankings (1991-1994), and having compiled 221 centuries is one of several players to have compiled more than 200 competitive centuries during his career.

In his latter career, Parrott struggled to reach the final stages of competitions, and last appeared on the television stage of a tournament in the 2008 Welsh Open. After several years of dropping down the rankings, Parrott retired from professional play after losing his tour card after the 2010/11 season.

Northern Ireland Open

The **Northern Ireland Trophy**, currently referred to as the **Totesport Northern Ireland Trophy** due to sponsorship purposes, (formerly called the Northern Irish Masters and Northern Ireland Open), is a professional snooker tournament which was held from 1996 to 1998 as an invitational event, and as a ranking event from 1999 to 2009, and then resurrected in 2014. Originally known as the Northern Irish Masters, the tournament was open strictly to natives of the Republic or Ireland and Northern Ireland, but became an open event in 1999. It was discontinued in 2009, due to congestion on the snooker calendar, but returned in 2014 as the Northern Ireland Open.

The current champion is Marco Fu.

\*Resurrected as the Northern Ireland Open - changed back to the Northern Ireland Trophy for 2015.
Championship League

The **Championship League** (formerly known as the Premier League), currently referred to as the **Ladbrokes** **Championship League** for sponsorship purposes, is a professional invitational league-format snooker event which runs every season from late-January to mid-April. Ten players compete in the tournament, with six players qualifying through the Order of Merit, and four wildcard entrants chosen by the WPBSA and the television channel (formerly Sky, now ITV). Ronnie O'Sullivan has dominated the event, winning it a record 12 times. The only other player to have won the event is Australia's Neil Robertson, who won titles in 2011 and 2013.

The players play each other once in a 6-frame match. Unlike other snooker events, a draw is a possible result in the league. 2 points are awarded for a victory, and 1 for a draw. At the end of the leagues phase, the top 4 players in the league table go forward to the best of 7 semi-finals stage. The final is then played over best of 9 frames.

Each week, the round robin games would be played in alternate locations around the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. The play-offs (semi finals and final), were played in one location every season. Prize money for the tournament has increased dramatically, with the winner in 2001 receiving £30,000, and the winner in 2013 receiving £175,000. This was increased again to £200,000 for the winner in 2016.

Ronnie O'Sullivan is the reigning champion.

BACKSTORY

XXX

Later in Lakewood, however, her father paid them a visit. He tried to take custody of Ellison, and he lost the case. After he lost, however, he attacked Ellison and Reagan, leaving Ellison with a broken ankle and her dad in jail.
Reagan was a great mom, baking with Ellison, and teaching her how to do many new things. She told Ellison of the school that changed her life, her friends, the events, the mistakes, and about her career in music that lasted a solid 5 years.
As she was growing up, Ellison had taken up an interest in basketball and skateboarding/pennyboarding. Reagan decided to teach her a bit of both, and soon Ellison became very good. Ellison went through a musical phase as well, which lead to her learning how to play the ukulele, and getting small singing lessons. Ellison soon got older, transferring to Lakewood Academy Junior High, where she met... not many nice people. She stuck by Henry and Jolee though, and they helped each other through it.
Then Ellison turned 14, and a new school year was starting. Freshman year.
And so it began, the new start of Ellison Mage.

Judd Trump

**Judd Trump** (born 20 August 1989) is an English professional snooker player from Bristol who is the current World No. 16. He enjoyed considerable success in youth tournaments before turning professional in 2005. He won his first ranking event at the 2011 Welsh Open, beating Ding Junhui 9-7 in the final. He then went on to reach the final of the Championship League and the World Snooker Championship, where he lost to Neil Robertson and Ali Carter respectively.

During the 2011/12 season, Trump won his second, third and fourth ranking titles, by winning the Wuxi Classic, Grand Prix and UK Championship. At 22, he became the youngest player to win the UK Championship since Ronnie O'Sullivan did in 1993, aged 17. He also reached the final of the Players Championship in 2012, losing to Ronnie O'Sullivan 9-10. The 2012/13 season did not match the success of the previous year, with only 2012 Paul Hunter Classic to his name. However he reached the semi-final in both the Masters and the World Championship, the latter which kept him ranked 10th in the world, previous estimations predicted under new ranking system changes that Trump would drop as low as 17th. He won his fifth ranking title at the 2013 British Open, ending a 23-month draught of a ranking title. A sixth ranking victory would follow, the 2014 Shanghai Masters, where he made five centuries en route to a 9-4 win over favourite Marco Fu.

He is known for his long potting, aggressive style of play and for being a prolific breakbuilder. This brand of snooker has been named "naughty snooker" by some sections of the media, adding to Trump's profile and making him one of the most popular players in the game.
Paul Hunter Classic

The **Paul Hunter Classic**, was a professional minor-ranking snooker tournament held in Cologne, Germany. Originally known as the European Open, it was a full ranking event from 1985 to 1999 - which was held in a different European city every year, when it changed to the Cologne Open in 2000. From 2001 to 2005 it was known as the International Open, and from 2006 to 2009 as the Furth Open. In 2010, in memory of the deceased three-times Masters champion Paul Hunter, the tournament was changed to the Paul Hunter Classic. It was discontinued for the 2013/14 season due to schedule congestion, but the prestigious Masters was renamed the The Paul Hunter Masters.

Judd Trump was the final champion.

\*In 2000, the tournament was changed from the European Open, to the Cologne Open, and was no longer a ranking event.

\*\*Paul Hunter won his last professional event at the Furth Open, just four months before he died of cancer in October 2006.

\*\*\*Ronnie O'Sullivan won the first ever Paul Hunter Classic in 2010.
John Higgins

Higgins during the 2009 World Championship final

**John Higgins** (born 18 May 1975) is a Scottish professional snooker player. Since turning professional in 1992, he has won 21 ranking titles, including three World Championships (1998, 2007, 2009) and two UK Championships (1998, 2000), as well as three Masters titles (1999, 2006, 2013), making him one of the most successful players in the modern history of the sport.

In 2010, the *News of the World* tabloid newspaper carried out a sting operation in a hotel room in Ukraine, which claimed to show Higgins and his then-manager arranging to lose specific frames in future matches for money. Although an investigation cleared Higgins of match-fixing allegations, it found that he had brought the sport into disrepute by failing to report, and giving the impression of agreeing with, an invitation to breach the sport's betting rules. The WPBSA banned Higgins from professional competition for nine months and fined him £75,000. He returned to the tour at the beginning of the 2011/12 season.

Higgins dropped out of the top 16 during the 2010/11 season, and returned from his ban ranked 24th in August 2011. He re-entered the top 16 in February 2012. After his return, Higgins struggled for form but eventually rekindled it, reaching the final of the Championship League and the quarter-finals of the World Championship in 2012. He then went on to win his 20th ranking event title, beating Jamie Cope 9-6 to win the Australian Goldfields Open, and then his 21st, by beating Stephen Hendry 10-6 to win the 2012 British Open. Later on in the 2012/13 season, he won his third Masters title, defeating tournament favourite Neil Robertson 10-4 in the final.

He won his 22nd ranking event title during the 2015/16 season, by winning the 2015 International Championship. He then went on to win the 2015 Champions League of Snooker, beating tournament favourite Barry Hawkins in the final.
Mark Williams

**Mark James Williams**, MBE (born 21 March 1975) is a Welsh professional snooker player who has been World Champion twice, in 2000 and 2003. Often noted for his single-ball potting, he has earned the nickname "The Welsh Potting Machine". He has been ranked the world number 1 for a total of three seasons in his career. The first left-handed player to win the World Championship, Williams has won 16 ranking tournaments (fifth on the all-time list), including the UK Championship three times, in 1999, 2002 and 2010. He has also won the Masters on two occasions, in 1998 and 2003. Williams' most successful season in his career to date was the 2002/2003 season, when he won the acclaimed treble of tournaments (known as the Triple Crown): the UK Championship, the Masters and the World Championship. He is the third player after Steve Davis and Stephen Hendry to win all three Triple Crown events in one season.
Mark Allen

**Mark Allen** (born 22 February 1986) is a Northern Irish professional snooker player, currently ranked at World No. 5. He won the World Amateur Championship in 2004. The following year he entered the Main Tour and took only three seasons to reach the elite top 16. As a prolific break-builder, Allen has compiled more than 200 century breaks in professional competition.

Allen has reached five ranking semi-finals: the 2007 Northern Ireland Trophy, the 2008 Grand Prix, the 2009 World Championship, the 2010 China Open and the 2010 UK Championship. In August 2010, he won his first ranking title, the inaugural International Championship in China. He then went on to reach the final of the 2011 UK Championship, losing 8-10 to Judd Trump. He won his second ranking title at the Northern Ireland Open in 2014, beating world number one Neil Robertson 10-9.

Allen's highest break is 147, which he achieved in the 2011 UK Championship. Allen is left-handed.
Welsh Open

The **Welsh Open**, currently referred to as the **Betfair Welsh Open** for sponsorship purposes, is a professional ranking snooker tournament. It replaced the Welsh Professional Championship, which started in 1980 and was only open to Welsh players.
