Talk:1993 World Snooker Championship

Qualifying
The entire qualifying for all the 1992-93 season's ranking events,involving several hundred players battling it out to win the right to appear in the final venue stages of some eight or nine ranking events,was held in one great long marathon stretching through the summer of 1992 from June to September at the Norbreck Castle Hotel,which overlooks the sea at the far northern end of Blackpool,a fair old walk or a tram ride further up the coast road from the centre,three-piered promenade,Tower and all. There were three stages,one each for the early,middle and later qualifying rounds,each stage culminated in the big one,the World Championship.

Bizarrely,this meant that the last of the qualifying for the 1993 Embassy World Snooker Championship was completed on 20th September 1992,some seven months before the big curtain up for the Crucible stages!

One book I strongly much recommend is the Embassy Book of snooker by Clive Everton from 1993. It takes you season-by-season up to and including 1992-93 through all the stories,events and characters in snooker with a narrative of each season,culminating each time in that year's World Championship (story of how it unfolded,with full results from the Crucible stage although not the qualifiers).
