Yep, i'd agree there Judas. Although Snooker delivers a spectacle of Skill to viewers, once you know what can be expected of a top Snooker player, the attraction faids. Excitement is squeezed into a few moments at the end of a close game, or when safety shots are at there best.
If you contrast the Atmoshere of a Darts game to a Snooker game, there is the problem Cricket developed 1 day 50 over's cricket for this very reason, and Chess developed Speed Chess also. Hard to say how Snooker could evolve a faster, more exiting version of itself. But i would love to see it. |

Is tiddlywinks a sport or pastime? Is golf a sport or pastime? Is texas holdem as sport or pastime?
Not everybody can just do these things and even those who do have to practice 70 hours a week to be really good at it. Is it a physical ability - snooker is certainly not. Is golf? emmmm? Is high jump a physical ability or ability to use a different stick than golfers or snooker players? Answer my questions |
No, it's a game.
My definition of sport is an activity that requires physical prowess. People who play darts, snooker and golf do not look like athletes. Indeed, many top ranked players look unfit and/or old. They are more about skill and precision than physical ability. And none of these activities are in the Olympics. |
