    Thank you so much for this! Very intruiging and insightful indeed. I was expecting to see a bar so I'm guessing whether there is one for spectators. The dressing rooms seem a little ordinary and was expecting to see a bit more luxury. Perhaps this is a reflection of decorum, which Snooker largely always has been.

    My question has nothing to do with this video. So sorry in advance. But I've been wondering something for awhile now. I'm fairly new to snooker since the sport is basically unknown in the U.S. which is ridiculous. It's become my favorite sport in the short time I've learned about it. And sorry if this is a dumb question but why do players keep potting balls after they have won a frame? The matches are so long I would think they would want to just get on to the next frame. I was wondering if it's because all the balls you pot go towards your ranking points? I have no idea. But thank you in advance. And so glad I've found out about snooker even if it's later in my life. And another thing is since snooker is basically unknown in the U.S. there are barely any pool halls with a snooker table anywhere. The closest one to me is 6 hours away and it's just a ten foot table. I have gone there a few times now and stayed for a couple days each time and played all day. And I just love the game. I don't know why it's not popular here. I think probably the main reason is Americans have little patience. They want a fast game like 8 and 9 ball that take like two minutes to complete a frame. I talked to the pro pool player that owns the pool hall near me and he said he had a snooker table in his pool hall for five years but nobody played. Maybe one or two people per week. So he got rid of it and replaced it with just a pool table. He said people just do not like the game here. I think that is really sad and just ridiculous honestly. I'm so bored with 8, 9, and 10 ball and straight pool and one pocket. I've only played snooker a few times now but I've noticed every time after I'm done my brain is just fried. Just like after you finish like a college exam or something. My brain is just tired because snooker takes a lot of thinking and concentration. But I absolutely love the game and hopefully I'll be able to get a table soon since there are none within several hours of me. Unfortunately I can only fit a ten foot table in my basement but I think that's better than nothing. Thanks again and sorry for writing a frickin book here. Lol.

      @PastorSolanga Рік тому +4

      1. They carry on purely for entertainment, in the sense that the extra pots after the frame is won don't contribute to the match in any way.
      2. Potting in snooker is more than winning the frame. It's also about scoring big, making centuries and getting the ultimate scoring achievement: the 147, the highest possible score.
      3. Scoring big is display of great skill. It's not easy building a big break. It shows real prowess and mastery of the game.
      This is why they carry on Benji.

    • @Thetoon25
      @Thetoon25 Рік тому +8

      Also the longer your opponent is off the table the better. One of the aims of the game to to not let them settle. If your on the table and stay till all the balls are potted, you opponent does not get any time on the table

    • @tarastreasure
      @tarastreasure Рік тому +1

      To add to the answers, when would a frame actually be considered as won? Because when the opponent need one snooker, then two snookers, he will usually come to the table. Even for four snookers! So you can't stop, and later, when should you stop? It would be so arbitrary to 'choose' a point in which you stop.
