Draft:2021–22 snooker season/Century breaks
Just a heads up that this now exists. Not particularly sure how I feel about this - seems like it might be something people might try and create to avoid the WP:OR issues at century break. Let me know your thoughts. I am a bit concerned about WP:SYNTH. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:53, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Personally I'm not keen. It's basically just snookerinfo.webs.com/2021-22-centuries in a different form. The other issue is that its very easy to find numbers for the last 15 years or so, while the totals for earlier seasons are not available and are lost in the mists of time (at least to us). So given that the main numbers of interest are actually the career totals, this sort of table doesn't really provide any interest or use. Nigej (talk) 10:07, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I'd be more concerned about WP:NOTSTATS.-- Pawnkingthree (talk) 14:01, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Indeed. Career totals or perhaps "most centuries in a season" but a list of all centuries by everyone is not what we're about. Nigej (talk) 14:05, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

1970 Semi-final
Most books and sites that I've seen record that John Pulman defeated Gary Owen 37–12 in the semi-final of the 1970 World Snooker Championship. However, sources at the time say that Pulman had a 35–13 lead (Birmingham Daily Post, 27 February 1970; Billiards and Snooker, April 1970), and The Times reported on 28 February 1970 that Pulman gained "a decisive lead of 37–13". Kobylecky's International Directory has 37–13 as the result. Any objections to me using 37–13 in the article, and adding a footnote that sources differ?

Highest Break in infobox
Hi! Just wanted some clarity on this, we've recently been adding players to the high break in the infobox, even if that break was made in qualifying (for instance, the 2022 German Masters lists Un-Nooh's 147, 2022 Welsh Open lists Perry's 142. However, as far as I can tell, this isn't where the High Break prize is awarded. Snooker Scene for March describes Cragie's 136 as the highest break (page 13) for the German Masters. I know they started offering the high break for the whole event for the World Championship's last year, but I believe that was only for that event. I feel like we should only include the main venue centuries unless a reliable source says otherwise. Snooker Scene always lists it if there is a high break prize, but is obviously not instant.

 * This came up last year: Talk:2021 Northern Ireland Open where someone said "A few years ago they did away with having separate prizes for the high breaks in qualifying and the TV stages. If a 145 is made in the qualifying rounds, and only say a 142 in the TV stages, the 145 gets the high break prize." See https://wst.tv/more-announcements-from-barry-hearn/ (May 2019) "High break prizes will go up next season, and there will be no discrepancy between the qualifying rounds and final stages in terms of breaks counting for the high break prize." For the 2022 German Masters WST said https://wst.tv/un-nooh-scores-third-147/ after Un-Nooh's 147 "The maximum puts him in line for the tournament’s £5,000 high break prize." So maybe its Snooker Scene that's wrong. Nigej (talk) 13:50, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. Makes sense to me if that is what they are doing. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 14:16, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

2022 World Snooker Championship
Are the matches listed in 2022 World Snooker Championship correct? Shouldn't it be the matches listed here? --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 04:44, 30 March 2022 (UTC)


 * I mean, that's not a reliable source, but what part of that draw is different to the one we have? Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski  (talk • contribs) 06:20, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
