Snooker (Snooker) means "obstruction, obstacle", so snooker billiards are sometimes called obstacle billiards, which is a charming and highly concerned sports sport. Just as the 2021 Snooker Northern Ireland Open is in full swing, in order to bring the audience a timely popularization of science and a good viewing experience, this article provides a brief popularization of snooker sports.
History
Billiards were popular among British troops stationed in India. The popular way to play at that time was Black Pool. This way of playing uses 1 main ball, 15 red balls and 1 black ball. One day in 1875, Sir Neville Chamberlain, a British Army Colonel stationed in Jabalpur , and his comrades thought this gameplay was too simple and boring, so they decided to add three colored balls, yellow, green and pink. Soon, it was not enough and added brown and blue balls. This new way of playing quickly became popular, leading to the birth of snooker billiards. The word snooker was a popular name for first-year students in the British army at that time.
The "English Amateur Snooker Championship" was held for the first time in 1916, but it was not until the emergence of snooker billiard superstar Joe Davis and the decline of British billiard that snooker really began to become popular in the UK. Joe Davis was the first snooker to recognize the importance of home goal return. He used this method to create continuous goals and set a record of single-shot scores many times, attracting a large number of audiences with his superb skills.
1926, with the efforts of Joe Davis and his friends, the Billiards Association and the Management Club finally agreed and successfully held the first Snooker Billiards World Professional Championship in London.
Snooker billiards encountered a low point in the 1950s, even severe enough that no championships were held between 1958 and 1963. It was not until 1969 that the situation turned around. At that time, the BBC launched the new snooker championship Pot Black in order to promote the new color TV broadcast. The colorful snooker billiards and the exciting performances of the players quickly attracted the audience's interest, and snooker billiards and color TV programs were quickly promoted together.
A few years later, the World Professional Championships also began to be broadcast on TV. Snooker billiards began to become a mainstream professional sport and introduced the world professional rankings in 1977. As the new generation of Chinese faces such as Ding Junhui and have achieved excellent results in snooker events and the gradual increase in snooker events, investment and policy support in China, the enthusiasm of snooker sports has gradually shifted to mainland China.
